Whats this then
« on: 21 July 2007, 10:15:12 »
Mate of mine just poped round and gave me this thing. Its from an MV6 but I am not sure what it is ::)
Come on then, someone enlighten me, and tell me what it is, and is it any use to me at all? ;)

I think it's an immobiliser unit.

Had one fail a couple of years back and it was a barsteward of a problem. Took two weeks to locate the fault.

Keep it, you never know. :y

I dont think it will work on yours, I had a MTek chip and wanted to swap it from my 98 3.0 to my 99 3.0 but was told it would not work :'(

TB will confirm but I think it's paired with the immobiliser and key transponders so unless you transplant all 3 from a working car it will need a Tech2 to pair everything up.

It was the size that got me. The photo made it appear much smaller than an ECU. Yep, it is an ECU not an immobiliser. What a muppet I am (again!!!)

If I'd bothered to check before rushing in, I would also have spotted it has more pins than an immobiliser. Double muppet.  :-[ :-[

Think it has to be paired with ABS ECU as well.
