not really, you'd want a 02-03 ECU if you have a 00-01

What are the advantages of the 02-03 over the 00-01?

Better air-fuel ratio gives more power.

How difficult are they to install & is there any type of programing required?

they are easy, but you need to have the ECU recoded to your keys at a dealership

IS all the reprograming done prior it installation at the dealer, or does it need to be installed in the car & then taken to the dealer?
