    help needed with immobilizer
    Posted by: 4Rings::resurrected on 2008-09-17 06:14:41

    I'm attempting to get an ACK ecu working in my AHA car. The reason for the swap is that the ACK ecu doesn't have sec. air, which has been removed from my car. However the ACK ecu has an immobilizer that kicks in and shuts down the engine after a couple of seconds. As far as I can tell I have several choices, none of them very good:

    1) If I knew the 4 digit login pin I could adapt the ACK ecu to my car using the VAG, however I don't. Has anyone had any luck with pin readers being sold on the net? I've been told the dealer can no longer provide me with this pin. Any other options to retrieve the pin?

    2) I might be able to have the AHA ecu "cloned" to the ACK ecu. That's suppose to duplicate the immobilizer codes, but since the AHA ecu was not immobilizer equipped to begin with would this even work?

    3) Any way to completely disable the immobilizer in the ACK ecu?

    4) Alternatively, any way to disable the sec. air and sec. O2 sensors in the AHA ecu?

    Any help would be appreciated.
