hi everyone, i got a massive problem. i've bought a 2001 model wrx. and the previous owner had transplanted a 2006 wrx 2.5ltr running gear/computer into it.
now it won't start, and the key light flashes, i've been told its my immobiliser/ecu. so i called the key programmer, who programs keys. he came out,pluged in his key machine obd2 programmer. and it won't program the key to the ecu. so he told me something is wrong.
so i went out and bought a 2001 model wrx ecu/immboiliser thinking this would solve the problem. WRONG. my 2006 ecu is made out of plastic and has different connectors, where as the computer i bought off a 2001 is a metal ecu. not plastic,
it gets worse, my 2006 immobiliser is big and has a big plug, but the 2001 immobiliser is small and has two plugs?
whats even more confusing is my mates 1998 wrx has a big immobiliser that looks exactly the same as my 2006 one. ?
im really confused and don't know which way to solve this problem.
any help would be great.
my 2006 immobiliser
my 2006 ecu
the 2001 immobiliser i bought with the 2001 ecu. smaller with two connectors.
my 2006 ecu next to my 2001 metal ecu which i bought from the wreckers.
my 2006 immobiliser plug. its different and won't plug into the 2001 immobiliser.
any suggestions?
