aftermarket imob's wont be wired directly into the ecu, usually just the ignition/fuel pump circuit. all golf digifantII ecus are backwards compatible, whether it be bosch, siemens or TAN  :smiley:

if your old ECU is dead, remember to nick the ignition module off the top of it (held on with 2 bolts and has a wiring connection on it), always ideal to have a spare  :wink:


I don't think a semi will give the same results
