“Why do I need programming?”
In many modern vehicles, components are equipped with a theft deterrent called an immobilizer system. Things like the keys, ignition lock modules and computers are all synced together within the system. If the programming of a component within the immobilizer system doesn’t match the other components of the system – the immobilizer system will not allow your vehicle to start.
The sixth generation Honda Accord was equipped with an immobilizer system starting with its production in 1998.
If you replace an ECU without programming the unit first, the vehicle will fail to start – that’s where we come in!
By taking the original data from your old ECU and transferring it to our replacement ECU– you will not have to worry about programming your computer using local dealers or locksmiths since we handle the programming for you – saving you 100’s sometimes 1000’s of dollars.
Ready to program units: If you’re a locksmith, dealer or mechanic and do not require our included key programming service – we do have ready to program versions available. Just include a note during checking asking for a “ready to program” unit and include the VIN you want programmed. This unit will be programmed to your VIN and key ready, enabled to be programmed to any key – provided you have the tools to do so.
Note: Ready to program units will require tools for programming, this is not a self-programming unit. (Delivery may take up to 7 business days)
