Yet another swap thread, PLEASE HELP

If the car is utilizing OBD2 sensors you're not going to fire it up with an OBD1 ECU...

That's what I thought but I kept being told I could....smh

Dude is correct. If you are crafty with a pin release tool kit, you can make the harness work on either, but can't plug and play.

Last client to bring in a hakentt/desert ecu flash, none of our standard scanners would work - not via the retro fitted interior obd port, or the BMW diag connector. Plugged an ecu in that still had stock flash, read perfect even though our wiring was blamed for the no-read. Obviously wouldn't start since ews was still enabled on the second one. Granted this was almost 2yr ago, maybe it has been remedied, just sharing a past experience.

Well if someone wants to lend me their ECU it would be much appreciated [emoji2]
