Every ECU is attributed to a specific vehicle. An unlocked one means it can be used on any car.________________________________________ Less than 24 hours to go! |

and there's two kinds, one where it was simply unplugged with the ignition on, which will become locked if used in another vehicle without removing the transponder unit.or a professionally unlocked ecu which can be used on any 306 regardless. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

It'll be fine Rikky It's only if you fit a DIY unlocked to another 306 it will relock it. ________________________________________ |
