   Hi guys I want to sell the ecu and immobiliser along with the ignition key.
   
   However which do I need to unplug first? Ecu or immobiliser ?
   
   Iv heard if I unplug immobiliser first then the ecu can lock.
   
   As I say the plan is to sell these and I have an interested party.
   
   How do they go about refitting it?
   
   Cheers. Any quick responses on this would be amazing.

   doesnt realy matter your selling everything to make it work, but if you were going to just sell the ecu unlocked you start the car then remove the immobiliser

   Just a little plastic clip you lever up and slide it off.

   i dunno why no one is telling you bud, too late now but the ecu holds power usually for up to 20 minutes so disconect battery and leave , then you can disconect anything in any order. cheers

    I did think this & wondered thought well if an immobiliser was removed this way then the ecu would end up locked.
