Alot cheaper than throwing money and a ton of time out for the SKREEM and ECU and such. If you dont have a way to program everything together (star das) you really couldnt do much anyway. Everything would still need to be tied to the Immobilizer and SKREEM etc...
He doesn't need an unlocked ECU, he needs to replace the component that isn't letting drive authorization happen. Not trying to sound rude but there is a lot more to this than just plugging in an SDS and unless you really truly do know what is going on, you should refrain from giving advice because if you give someone the wrong advice, it'll cost them more in the long run. In his case, it may prove to be a cheaper route to replace all the components from a salvage car than buy a SKREEM and find out later that the reason it wasn't communicating was because the PSE took a dirt nap and was putting crap into the datastream which will essentially cause the same communication issues and that is a considerably more expensive module to replace than the SKREEM.
Good luck and take care
