Hoping one of the Honda/Acura techs here will know the answer. I sent my ECU off to be jailbroken (which was done). The shop overnighted it via UPS and they lost / misplaced the package (it was scanned into the distro center closest to my house).
And here is where that Honda/Acura tech knowledge comes in -- If I order up a new ECU, does it need to be programmed or associated with the car, etc first? Or can I have it delivered to me (or the shop doing the jailbreak) and simply drop it into the car? I'm so used to old D-series ECUs and I my searches came up blank when seeing if anyone on the FL5 side had to do a replacement.
It's kinda urgent as I have an event at Road Atlanta next weekend and I currenly own a 3000lb unstartable hunk o' metal & plastic.
