	Your 'key' communicates with the ecu to see if they match. So a different ecu won't work. You need to follow the procedure on this site to get it working: http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/immobilizer2.html SFC "Lee" <weblee@zipcon.net> schreef in bericht news:5rZ%d.3$MJ1.511@newshog.newsread.com...>I buy a spare ECM for my Jetta, I wanted to test it and see if it works, >anything speical I should know? a mechnic told my friend on his honda if he >changed the computer he would need to have it resync to an immolizer? not >sure if this is the case on a honda or that guy was blowing smoke up my >friends butt... any idea if i can just unplug the current ecm and plug this >one in? or do I need to do something speical?> -Lee>

	so this is it? ECU Swapping with Immobilizer 2 Posted 24 Jun. 2003 Ross-Tech is not responsible for any damage or problems that may result from following these instructions. They are to be used at your own risk. Immobilizer II: The immobilizer will prevent the car from running without a matching key microchip. There is a symbol in the instrument cluster showing a key inside a car. If a new (or different ECU) is installed in the vehicle, the immobilizer will prevent the car from running and will cause the symbol to flash. Here is the procedure to introduce a new ECU to the instrument cluster. This must be performed each time ECU's are exchanged. This does not apply to installing a "chip" in the same ECU that is already aligned with the car. Immo-3 knows your car's VIN. Access 17-Instruments (or separate 25-Immobilizer on vehicles that are set up that way) and look at the first "Extra" field. If you see something like: "Immo-ID VWZ7Z0W0648696" You've got Immo-2 (or maybe even Immo-1 in earlier non-US models). If you see something like "WVZKB58001H231169 VWZ7Z0W0648696" You've got Immo-3. The first 17-digit string is the VIN. The second 14-digit string in the Immo-ID. 1.. Install the new ECU in the car [Select] [17 - Instruments] [Adaptation - 10] Leave channel at "00" [Read] [Save] 2.. [Done, Go Back] [Close Controller, Go Back - 06] [Exit] 3.. Turn ignition OFF for 15 seconds. Start vehicle. "SFC" <sf-cillari@hetnet.nl> wrote in message news:d1ps3l$b6o$1@reader11.wxs.nl...> Your 'key' communicates with the ecu to see if they match.
