Hello guys,

Finally look like im going to get my car repaired and back on the road.

BUT......
Just need a bit of info if possible.

I am buying a used ECU and SKREEM module for my 05 convertible and wanted to know if i needed to have parts numbers to give to the supplier or its just based on the year of the car?
£375 + VAT...is this good? 2 months warrenty.

Thansk in advance.

Please help!!

 

I'm sure the ECU is coded to the individual car/VIN and must be re-programmed to the new vehicle.

Maybe the same for the the security (SCREEM) module. A dealer-only operation?

 

Thanks mate, thats what i need to find out for sure before i go and part with the cash. As long as a 05 plate ECU and Skreem can be reprogrammed for mine then i can go ahead.

Does anyone know this for certain?
p.s i did try and call Chrysler today.

Thanks,
BC

 

Spoke to Chyrsler today and they said that it isnt possible to reprogram a 2nd hand SKREEM or ECU.
Please could someone confirm this?

Thanks
BC

 

ECU can be reprogrammed, don't know about skreem

 

skreem will read vin from ecu and if not correct vin will shut down ecu i think you can leave the key in the on position for a certain amont of time and it will clear vin but must use battery charger when doing so i think its like 3 hours but vin must be programmed into ecu but it has to be cleared first and dealer can enter new vin there is a company that you send ecu to and they can clear it maybe eurocharge can do it, worth a call

 

Thanks guys.
I really want to try and cover all angles because the total for these bits of kit from the dealers and no labour is around £2000!!! Ouch.

ANy other help or advice is appreciated.

Thanks
BC
