When swapping ECUs, the ECU must be adapted or the engine will not start. Adapting a new ECU wipes out the original ECU. APR's Immobilier clone lets you create a virtual copy of the ECU so you can swap back and forth with an APR EMCS (Chipped) equipped ECU.


Immobilizer 2

The ECU must be adapted in an Immobilizer II equipped vehicle by logging into the vehicle engine diagnostics with the proper equipment and following the factory procedure.


Immobilizer 3

The ECU must be adapted using the factory procedure with the ECU connected to the appropriate equipment. You must contact the MFG with your vehicle's VIN and Cluster ID to request the appropriate code. This can be difficult to acquire.
