Title: 01' S4 M box immobilser? Post by: vwaudiguy on July 14, 2011, 01:27:09 PM Does this ecu have one? Does it have an eeprom I can read/flash to make them switchable if it does in fact have an immo? Thanks guys!

Title: Re: 01' S4 M box immobilser? Post by: vwaudiguy on July 14, 2011, 01:28:53 PM Thanks! I remember an APR tuned ecu preventing the car from starting a while back, but it was probably just an added security feature they implemented.

Title: Re: 01' S4 M box immobilser? Post by: nyet on July 14, 2011, 04:24:16 PM Yup. As long as the rest of the car is set up to be M-box (MAF, cluster etc)
Title: Re: 01' S4 M box immobilser? Post by: vwaudiguy on July 14, 2011, 05:45:53 PM What's involved with the cluster? I'm flashing an A box with M box software. The original car came with an M box. Thanks for the help btw!

A box to M box is engine recode, not cluster recode. Sorry. My mistake. http://s4wiki.com/wiki/Generations http://www.google.com/search?q=cluster+recode+s4+m+box+a+box Title: Re: 01' S4 M box immobilser? Post by: phila_dot on July 14, 2011, 06:56:57 PM If your flashing an A box with M box software, it is then an M box. No issue, no recode.
Title: Re: 01' S4 M box immobilser? Post by: vwaudiguy on July 14, 2011, 10:47:48 PM I guess I was worried about ESP and anything else related to that.
Title: Re: 01' S4 M box immobilser? Post by: nyet on July 15, 2011, 10:05:50 AM Yes, if it was *originally* an M-box car you don't have to do anything :)
