Socali914 · 03-02-2008, 05:20 PM

i may buy a friends hondata off an fa5 should work with my fa5? also is $350 a good price for his reflash ecu and i have to give him my stock ecu? thanks.

if you switch ecu you will need new keys.

Keys are bounded to the ECU with a chip.

Maybe there is a way to switch the chips in the keys.

no you don't, you just need to reprogram your keys and immobilizer.

Absolutely... But you'd also need to switch ignitions, lock tumblers in the doors, trunk, trunk release and glove box, since they'll be cut differently.

Wow, i totally posted before thinking about all of that.It seems if the OP really wants the reflash he might as well order himself one. No hassles.
