Hi,

I need an immobilizer control unit for my car, but I cannot find it anywhere. I did find one for a Civic though: https://shop.euroimpex.lt/en/dalis/57175/immobiliser-ecu. It has identical markings to my broken one except for the sticker that says 7A10 1035 (mine is 7A31 1468). Will this one work with my Prelude?

With regards,
Toomas Korsar

If the type number and frequency are the same it should plug in. It will not be a plug and play item as it will not recognize your current keys until it is reprogrammed. You may want to talk to a dealer first about the cost of a new module and programming it vs. The cost to reprogram the used one.
