   I was talking to my mate who runs a garage and he said it might be possible to put an ecu on the car without it being decoded ? He said leave the key out of the ignition, dissconnect the battery unplug my ecu put the new one on then reconnect the battery then put the key in does anyone know if this can be done??

   No lol, that jus clears the error log.
   
   To unlock an ECU, you run the car and while its running disconnect the Imbobilisor black box. Then switch the car off.
   
   If you use the ECU on another car, make sure the imobilisor box is disconnected or it will lock up again.
