Well here's the story.
I'm really interested in the opportunity that Orange Virus Tuning is putting out there for our cars. Problem is you have to physically send out your ECM so they can read it and tune it.
Well, this being my only car, having it down for a while isn't an option.

I was thinking of buying a used ECM and sending that out to have the tune put on and then installing it into my car. I asked Matt at OVT is this was a viable option. He wasn't 100% certain. but said if its the same part # it should work.

So my question is will a 2010 or newer 2.4L FWD 5speed ECM work on my car which is a 2.4L FWD 5 speed.
The reason I ask is because I looked up my VIN and found the part #8966102L12, but they are kind of rare. So having the option of using different model years might help me out.

Anybody know or have a clue?
Appreciate any help or info.
Z.
