Bugeye with no electrics

Bugeye with no electrics
Evening all
So I managed to connect the battery too the bugeye today to see what's working and what's not. I've rebuilt the shell up so I think I know the answer but wanted your advice.
It's had a 2nd hand ecu and 2nd hand door lock set. Given that these are from different vehicles would the likely suspect be that the ecu and door lock is not coded together stopping the electrics from working. I'm getting power to the interior lights and the electric mirrors but nothing else on the dash at present. There's no engine and the.wiring loom in.the engine bay is not connected to everything
What's all of your thoughts
Cheers all

The keys must be coded to the IMMobiliser Control Module which "talks" to the ECU.
The antenna for the IMM CM surrounds the steering lock /ignition switch. Keys should have transponder chips in them.
Other info is in "section body 13" you alread have from your lock change thread.

Easiest would be to get the keys, locks, transponder and ECU all from the same car. I'm not certain whether it's just the keys and transponder which need to be pair or whether the ECU also needs to be paired to the transponder. I have a feeling that it's the latter as I was looking to sell all my PPP set up but I think I read that the transponder needed to match the ECU (and thus remove all the locks too) and it seemed like too much hassle.

I'm pretty sure you only need the matching transponder and chip to talk to the ECU as I've read of ways to get rid of the system and keep the stock ECU. It shouldn't be stopping the dash from working though. There's a light on the dash to tell you when the system has disabled the car but it only stops fuel getting to the engine. The engine will even still crank over without the chip present.
