Default k20a2 swap in ep3...need help with ecu

Helping a buddy out...he swapped an a2 in his ep3.
Everything works he just needs his key linked to the a2 ecu..
He called elk grove acura and they said they couldn't do it.
Any place else that would link up keys? Thanks

Dealerships around here won't do it with the ecu in-hand. I had to drive to Acura with it running on the a3 ecu.

Been awhile hearing from you ^ but yes, that's what I've heard. Most people have to actually have the car and everything present to get it done.

Haha, yeah. Back for good now I think. :D

OP, is your friend trying to get it reprogrammed in-car or in-hand?

i don't think it's even possible to program the ecu without it being in the car. i had to tow my civic to the dealer to get a key made when mine got lost.
