I bought a 02 ECU with a better MAP with ECUTEK on for my 02 WRX, the problem i have is how do i code my immobilser to the new ECU. I plugged it in but it will not start my car, the immobiliser light just flashes. What do i need to do, i bought this because the car had the same mods as mine and the car as now been scraped, i was going to get his immobilser out of his car and try it along with the transponder. Any help please

Why not use your own ecu and modify its rom instead. Romraider isnt compatible with ecutek.

The car i bought it from was running great with this map and the mapper is well resepected, so thought it would be quick and easy to put on mine.

Yes they do the ignition barrel as a light round it and a coil picks up the transponder from the key.
