So you CAN buy the ECM and BCU together and have everything work. Sort of.
So I bought both control modules. I installed both, and then noticed that the alarm light was flashing. So I tried unlocking with the key. Still flashing. So I tried unlocking 3 times. Still flashing. So I tried locking and unlock 3 times. Still flashing. (and the starter won't even TRY to start like this, definitely still armed.) So I connect the hawkeye and reprogram the BCU to allow disarming with the key. And she starts right up! Now my ODO is flashing. So I go back into the BCU programming and turn off the ODO warning feature.
So if anyone needs to replace a BCU or ECM in the future, get BOTH and also some plips too, all from the same vehicle. (they didn't have the keys anymore, so currently i'm plip-less. I hope I can beg the dealer to cross reference my 6 digit code to the 18 digit code)
