Can I swap out the Immobilizer, ECU, and Key from one X40 model to the next?

go have a key cut using vin and use original pcm if you swapped out the ignition already then need to have all components programmed/flashed to the vehicle/ vin

Well, ya might wanna do the Math; the money you spent for the New ECU, Plus reprogramming, Plus a new Valve timing belt, Plus other issues which are not evident because, the Car isn't running... I'm pretty sure we've past the Car's value.

However,
You need the Key that is for that ECU
OR
A *new key needs to be programed into the ECU
Also, since the ECU has been unplugged for x amount of time; The ECU needs to be programed, Now
*Your OLD Key may not be readable.

For do it yourselfers; When replacing PCM/ECUs,
Body PCMs, Programable Fuel injection, Instruments and such... with used parts
Recommend; getting access to a complete RUNNING donner Car at Pick and Pull or Pull Part or...


Sorry, I'd like to help but, Seems to me a Dealer only problem at this point.

Immobilizer bypass HACK!! Real not fake - YouTube

Today car you just can't change e m or PCM they need to be program to the securty system or they won start even if it's the same number good luck

Most later model cars have security immobilizers built into the keys to prevent someone from hot wiring the car. You can't just replace the key and cylinder unless they are reprogrammed to your car. The only way you can is to swap the corresponding ECU and immobilizer modules from the donor vehicle from which the key/tumbler came.

Hope this helps,

There is no easy way to bypass the immobilizer on this car without switching to a red label ecu and cutting wires OR having your ecu reprogrammed without the immobilizer. A better question is why are you doing this? If you are switching ECUs, you can usually have a new EWS module programmed for $75-100.

If you have had the dreaded spinning key and are planning on switching columns, you can usually drill and pin/screw the tumbler in less than 30 minutes and avoid the hassle all together. The other option is to swap key/module/immobilizer module all at once.

If you have already swapped the column, keep your old key and decoder ring, tape them together, and stick them up under the plastic of your new column - problem solved.

As you can see, the answer starts with a different question - what are you trying to accomplish.

Good luck!

The security light flashing is the indicator. The fuel pump is disabled by the ECU because the immobilizer system does not recognize the transponder chip inside the key.

There could be several causes.
a. Either the transponder chip inside the key is bad, not programmed, or missing
b. The antennae that is located around the ignition lock is bad and/or not reading the transponder chip inside the key.
c. There is a wiring issue between the ECU and antennae.
d. The ECU is bad

You may want to seek out a qualified mechanic or automotive locksmith for help, not all mechanics and/or locksmiths are capable of handling the immobilizer systems on these vehicles. So be clear when discussing your problem to them and make sure they are capable of handling this type of problem.

If the key is not original, check to see if it is a cloned key. Some cloned keys use batteries, when the battery inside the key dies, it no longer communicates with the vehicle. Although it's not common, regular transponder chips can go bad, usually due to physical damage.

An immobilizer transceiver coil tester can be used to test the signal from the antennae at the lock cylinder.

If the ECU is determined to be bad, a used ECU with matching part numbers can be used as a replacement. Contrary to what a dealership or some shops may tell you, all that is required is an immobilizer reset service on the used, replacement, ECU to get it to function with your vehicle. A used ECU and an Immobilizer Reset Service is much cheaper than a new ECU from the dealer. Make absolutely sure that this is the problem before going this route though.

Do you have the year make and model.? If it is a anti theift with a key immobilizer the vehicle will just start and idle for a few seconds then shut off and the anti theft light will remain on or be blinking. Then we know you are dealing with the anti theft. do you have another key to crank the engine if you do use a spare key and hold the key next to the immobilizer and crank the engine see if that will give if it doesnt try this method. roll the window down with window down disconnect the negative battery cable wait 5 minutes reconnect put the key in the ignition but dont crank it just yet turn it in the on spot not the crank for 2 minutes then crank it and see if that start the vehicle . If this doesnt work then you will need to call a mobile locksmith who reprograms the immobilizer

First of all you need to programm all ignition keys using suitable diagnostic equipment (VAS, VAG-Com) connected to the data link connector of the car.

You have an electronic immobilizer key recognition problem. Now your key chip is not recognized by the transponder antenna fitted on the ignition switch barrel.

Everytime when you had a new key you must programm all available ignition car keys before trying to start the engine with this new key !!!

This warning lamp indicates that the engine is locked by the immobilizer system, and the engine start sequence must be repeat again.

From year 1995 in Audi-VW (VAG) cars is used engine immobilizer. The VAG group immobilizer system consists of an immobilizer ECU which controls the recognition of keys and the Engine Management ECU system. Immobilizer is activated when the ignition key is removed and, together with the engine control unit, largely prevents unauthorized starting of the engine. The system uses a transmitter and receiver unit in the ignition key (transponder). Whenever an attempt is made to start the engine, it transmits a new code to the car's electronics. The immobilizing is only cancelled and car motor electronic receives permission to start engine if the key sends a right authorization code.

The immobilizer essentially is a relay they spliced in series between the ignition lock and starter solenoid. All you have to do is jumper these 2 wires back together again. You can test wich wire to the immobilizer is from the ignition by watching a test light probed to the contacts when someone cranks the engine. The solenid wire is easier to trace because you can follow it from the starter.
