What Is ECU / Immobilizer Reflashing?

Reflashing is a controlled software procedure that resets or reprograms the vehicle’s ECU or immobilizer so it accepts new keys/fobs and correctly authorizes starting. It’s typically required when all keys are lost, a used ECU is installed, or the immobilizer becomes desynchronized.

  • Authorize brand‑new keys/fobs to start the vehicle
  • Resolve “key not recognized” and constant security lights
  • Support for push‑to‑start, smart key, and transponder systems
