Greg said that it didn't have the Immobilizer chip inside, so you would have to replace your ECU, I would bet.

That would be perfect, if the key swivelled and locked back inside the main body - just like the one for my VW Passat. It would probably be fairly easy to design one like this, using the existing key and circuit board. However, it would likely cost an arm and a leg to manufacture in limited quantities.

I'd be interested in that first key or one like the VW's and Mercedes. Anyone know how we could make one that could flip in and out of a box like the Mercedes?
Thanks,

You could use the Mugen ECU that does not have the imobilizer, or perhaps some how get the chip out of the old key?

What is all this talk about an ECU? Isn't it just a key? Where is there an ECU?
Thanks,

That is a great looking key. I'd love to have one. Too bad they don;t come with the chip.
