Hi,

That sounds unfortunate, hope you can get it sorted out. To answer your questions;

1) As far as the part numbers match there should be no problem, I would check what additional information ETK provides on the part. You can look it up from sites such as realoem. The important thing is it is always better the have one from your month and year of manufacturing as the newer ones have different operating interface and are also firewall protected that can only be overcome by the dealer. So check the part number to see when was it manufactured between.

2) These units are usually bonded to the cars VIN, you would need to do some coding. I believe it is possible to do so as there was once a theft high on these units for “retrofitting” them on indy shops etc.

Let me know if you need anything else THY I can help with...
