I believe the dealer will need to install new ecu. my understanding is car wont start if you swap out ecu as the security coding needs to be re-done, its to prevent people stealing cars.

If ecu has ecutek tune in it it may prevent dealer from accessing ECU and hence he may not be able to security code system

you can i believe swap out all 4 components in the security set ie dash/ecu/imobiliser and key fobs from a donour car, but if you change any of those components by themselves they need to be coded in.
