Have you already fitted the SP ECU to try it?

I often wondered if I could use a SP ECU in my 97 model too but opted for ESL instead. Might be the case that you'll have to bypass the immobiliser to use it.

As far as I know the key transponder is not an integral part of the ECU, it's located below the steering wheel. I'm fairly sure you could bypass it with wiring diagrams. I haven't looked at it myself but did wonder about it before going to ESL.

With regard to people driving off with other peoples Imprezas, it happens every day even with expensive aftermarket alarm systems added.
