Did you change the brown ring that goes around the ignition barrel (dont know what its called) also did you get the chip from the key? Transponder or something like that

brown thing is probably called a receiver coil. do you have a second set of keys for original ecu?
did you get keys with the new control units?

if you still got a working one you could transplant transponders to your keys and then teach them to ecu.
