You’ll need to swap the ECU and immobiliser. Barrel is ok

Yeah you'll need matching ecu, immobiliser and immobiliser chip for the key

Bit late on this I know, but if the mechanicals only are being swapped like for like, there's no need to swap over the ECU or immobiliser is there. It's just lumps of metal ?
