How did you do it? Where? Who programmed they key? etc...

Thanks.

 

One Word---> Technosquare

 

There is a procedure in the service manual for reprogramming following ECU replacement. I have read it in these forums also... The dealer can probably describe over the phone also.

Alberto> I don't think he was asking about a reflash...

 

dealer has to sync up the BCM, ECU and all keys together at once

 

If you are just replacing a bad ECU, then you will need to take it to the dealer and have your keys matched to the ECU, or the car wont start.

If you have an FCON, you will not need to do this.

 

OR...Techno can disable that feature (pretty sure they need your key) and you can swap between stock/other ECU's in your car. Just offering options here guys...

 

Hrm...does this procedure require the use of a Consult or can it be done without it? Rcdash...you mentioned that it's something you can do yourself???

 

Would the dealer program an ECU that I brought or would they require me to purchase from them? I'm a bit hesitant since my EU is connected to it...not to mention the twins, etc...I would bring my car to the dealer in the first place, but I don't want to pay for a tow and have them pretend to work on it and then say "o, sorry...you have all these mods. we can't help you" and still charge me

 

they do it through the OBDII port with a consult II

 

ic...thanks

 

oh - had no idea they could do that. thanks for the info.

 

I believe that TS can clone your current ECU on to another ECU so that the 2nd ECU can be used in your car. I do not believe they can completely disable the transponder system (I may be wrong on this).

 

transponder? ie. GPS tracker?


Techno can clone ecus (i.e. copy your immobilzer code, but cant completely disable it. it auto associated itself with the key). i'm not quite sure what transponder system you mean.

 

I doubt they can clone a blown ECU.
Andy, you need to take it to the delaer with all of your keys. GL

 

That's what I thought...I just wanted to make sure. I also had doubts if they would swap out the ECU with one I brought in, but they told me they don't have a problem with that. Thanks Dave

 

transponder = immobilizer = IVIS = NATS

Back when I installed car alarms we called all security systems of this type 'transponder's systems, which required the $50 bypass module and a spare key.

 

do you file down the key so they can't use it when they break into the car?

 

In a 'best' case scenario the customer would purchase a new, uncut key to put in the car.

However, to a car thief its not going to make a difference if the key is cut or uncut, as all they really need is the transponder part - the mechanical lock is easy enough to get around.

That is why you hide the box really well, and make it very hard to get to.

 

Bringing back an old thread sorry.

From my understanding Technosquare can Completely disable the NATS requirement.

I know this is a reach... but is this DIY doable? I'm putting a VQ into a non-Nissan car.. and not having to get a key and reprogrammed once done with the build would be really really helpful. Also with the budget I'm on... doing the full ECU job with Technosquare isn't in the cards right now.

If someone has this info and is worried about a security issue posting it up. Please pm or email me to talk about it and confirm I'm legit. I need the information only for my build.
