Is the dealer machine capable of reprogramming the ECU or the keys to match the new ECU?

23-12-2017, 08:57 AM #3i can program the keys ok but we dont have the machine for the ecu. loads of the ecu's on ebay have just the ecu and not sure if i can find the code to it to reprogram them

23-12-2017, 09:17 AM #6Is it not just a removable chip in the ECU? as a few sellers sell them as just chips not full ECU's?
