im also iteretsed in finding out, my car is sometimes playing up gears wise and i think it could be the ecu. i have an au series 1 fairmont, so if i buy an au series 1 fairmont ecu will it go right in and work or will it play up due to smart lock or whatever it is.

People hate the au series but i wouldnt have it any other way!!!

Guys, you can't just swap Smartshield ECUs. The ECU has to be paired with the vehicle via a WDS. Trying to start it 3 times without a matching key will immobilise the vehicle requiring a WDS to get it to start.

With a J3 (or Flash Tune) you can get around all of this by putting the XR6 equivilant tune on the chip.

Cheers,
Jason
