All you have to do is plug in a new ECU and wala no mor imobi.

And no I dont steal cars it is I have been doing reseach with Acura as to how I am going to get around it for my swap. I was stupid enough to buy a P73 00-01 ECU

for my B18C5

its very easy to use that ecu. if your good with a soldering gun you can remove the immobilzer. Thats what ive done on 3 local integras and civic and its worked.

Yeah, but you got to get to the ECU first, unbolt it then unplug it. Takes too long. Must be a easier way.
