07AT ECU into an 04MT VIN and Immobilizer conversion

Post by crxmotorsports »

Has anyone successfully installed an 07AT ECU into an 04-05MT chassis? I have found a couple posts saying when the dealer has tried to synchronize the VIN and Immobilizer of the AT ECU it asked them to put the transmission in park and apply the brake, effectively not allowing the AT ECU to be installed in a MT car. I want to make sure it is possible to swap ECU's before going to the dealer and looking like a fool.

That tells me NOTHING. I am perfectly literate and can install the CAN harness by these instructions. My question entirely pertains to the Honda computer that matches the VIN and Immobilizer to the ECU. I am fearful that Honda no longer will pair an AT ECU to a MT car.

Hey man, you catch more bees with honey. If you are only swapping out the ECU then you only need the dealer or any mechanic shop with a scan tool to input your car's VIN number into the computer. You can still drive the car if you are only swapping out the ECU.
