Hello. Has anyone succeeded in starting the engine with a non-virgin ECU (e.g., pulled from a running car) and starting it on another Stilo using the 5-digit security FIAT CODE? If the FIAT CODE resides inside the Body Computer (ECM) why it didn't start in my case? The FIAT CODE works fine with the original ECU (I tested it using tinfoil around the key to purposefully block the immo signal from the key). What is actually happening when the 5-digit FIAT CODE is sent? Do I need the original 5-digit code from the donor car?
Please let me know as I want to help a friend with a broken Stilo (hard start when cold, no start when hot etc) and we don't want to pay to virginize the ECU if we don't have to. Cause his problems might reside elsewhere.
