ECU Swapping with Immobilizer 2


Posted 24 Jun. 2003

Ross-Tech is not responsible for any damage or problems that may result from following these instructions. They are
to be used at your own risk.

Immobilizer II:

The immobilizer will prevent the car from running without a matching key microchip. There is
a symbol in the instrument cluster showing a key inside a car. If a new (or different ECU) is
installed in the vehicle, the immobilizer will prevent the car from running and will cause the
symbol to flash. Here is the procedure to introduce a new ECU to the instrument cluster.
This must be performed each time ECU's are exchanged. This does not apply to installing a
"chip" in the same ECU that is already aligned with the car.

Immo-3 knows your car's VIN. Access 17-Instruments (or separate 25-Immobilizer on
vehicles that are set up that way) and look at the first "Extra" field.

If you see something like: "Immo-ID VWZ7Z0W0648696" You've got Immo-2 (or maybe
even Immo-1 in earlier non-US models).

If you see something like "WVZKB58001H231169 VWZ7Z0W0648696" You've got


Immo-3. The first 17-digit string is the VIN. The second 14-digit string in the Immo-ID.

1. Install the new ECU in the car

Note: For cars with a separate Immobilizer (Includes 2000+ EuroVan, Cabrio, and many
older non-US models), use [25 Immobilizer] instead of [17 - Instruments]. The rest of the
procedure is the same.
