   Mate as said in your other thread if you left your immo plugged in (which you have as your key lights flashing) every ECU you will ever plug in will just lock.

   Yes
   Easy way to explain is the key the immo and ECU are programmed together and have there own password to talk to each other as such, so if you use a different immo the ECU will ask the immo for the password as such and the immo will give it a different code. Then the ECU will know its not right and go on to shut down mode (lock itself) as it thinks its stolen.

   basically mate, unplug the box, take it out and plug in unlocked ecu but keep immo unplugged or it will keep locking them back up. Or keep the immobiliser and buy a professionally unlocked ecu so it cant be locked.
