i have a 2011 cadillac srx with a 3.0 v6 needs a new ecm, i installed a new ecm with the understanding hptuners can program it, was able to wirite the vin and everything but i cant program the key to the new computer. any suggestions? tried the 30 minute key relearn and vats disable
HPT can't completely write a new ECM. Needs to be done with dealer tools or clone.
I think the SPS2 is the correct one.

do i have to buy anything else or just the one vehicle programming?Quote:

That acdelco stuff is subscription-based and requires additional hardware and software packages. It's not worth it.
gtstorey is correct. To properly set up a new ECM, you need SPS2, which you can get a single VIN license for, for $40. BUT, you also need a J2534 compliant device, of which none of the MPVIs are.Quote:

Unfortunately, this ECM may not be trainable, though, because it was programmed outside of SPS2. Once the ECM's MEC goes to zero, which typically happens after the VIN is written, it cannot have the immobilizer learned to it, so OP may need to buy another new ECM.
That's not correct. You can set MEC to any value when controller is unlocked or Vulnerability flag is set in the calibration. But it not the case.Quote:

How to change Security Code you can find here:

How to obtain old and new Security Codes is up to you.
No, actually that's incorrect. Lol. This handler for writing the MEC in an E39A clearly checks to see if the MEC is zero, first, and if it is, it skips over writing it.
In your defense, however, other ECUs will allow MEC to be changed by simply satisfying security, but not this one.

Yes, you were right about writing MEC in E39. But for a man with your abilities it will be matter of minutes to "correct this flaw" :)Quote:

However, as I said, MEC is not the case in Immo Relearn.
