I have done a search but can't find a straight "yes" or "no" to this one......
I have another ecu for my car but it is locked, is there anyway to unlock it without
having the key present?????? obviously for security if there is a way a pm would be fine......
thanks
jamie

simple answer yes
long answer
you would have to have a chip programmer, strip the ecu down, read the locking chip, then modify the code, and reprogram the chip in the ecu with the new code
then your ecu would be unlocked

search for user whippy he might be able to clone your existing ecu onto the locked one
meaning you have two ECUs that work with the same bsi locking system on your car
he has said he has the tools to do it but not shure if he has actualy done it yet

Whippy can't do it.
Go to cartech electronics online they charged me £50.
