1. Immobilizer's can only be programmed to a car's DME once, they cannot be reprogrammed.

2. The only way you can put a used immobilizer into a car is to also have the matching DME and keys from the car it came from, and install them as well.

3. Could well be cheaper, and a lot easier to just have a dealer program and install a new one, keeping all the original other stuff.
