Using Flashpro on different ECU than currently in car.

Post by jeremy0203 »

Not sure if you or anyone on here would know this but....

I have the stage2 reflash for CTE SC on my car now. I dont want to use flashpro on it as I would like to keep the reflash just in case sometime down the road I need to sell the flashpro.

What i would like to do is buy a second ecu and use that one for the flashpro. I understand that I would have to take it to Honda and have them program it to work with my car? Do you guys know if when I do this if when i would go back to the reflashed ECU would it work right when i plugged it in or would I have to get that one programmed to work with the car again( basically when they make the other ecu work with the car does it stop the other from working)

Only one ECU can be matched to the key and immobilizer at a time.
