swapping ecu's?
 

can an ecu be swapped from one car to another? i bought the tn kit off a member here, and tn requires a reflash.they charge $350 for the reflash (w/ the kit its free). can they be swapped or will it not work at all?

Depending the electronics in your car compared to his; TCS, VDC, transmission, and possibly the model of the car. You will also have to get the keys programmed to the new ECU.

This is exactly what had to be done on my ECU when I did this on my 04' Maxima, and considering that we share the same ECU, I would safely assume those things.

good luck,

No you will have to get the keys programmed per the ecu to make the car start.

so id have to get the keys programmed to the ecu? tow the car to the dealer or what?? and it would have to have everything my car does? including heated seats, etc?

OR you can make buddy buddy with one of the techs there and just bring both cars there and do it without towing the car. I'm not too sure on the heated seats part...wait around for more people to chime in.

i would just hate to get it, and have nothing but problems. also, itd be by mail so towing the car seems like the only option?? unless i swap out ecus at the dealer

so it wouild have to be an ecu from a touring (mine) to correctly make everything work?
