hello all , i wondered if one of the resident guru`s could advise me here .
i currently own 2 p38`s both hse 4.6 models 1 is a "P" reg which im about to break and the other being an "R" reg model which is in daily use .
my problem is the "R" reg one has 2 remotes both of which have been butchered and generally in very poor condition so what i would like to do is swap over the ignition barrel and door lock along with the becm from the "P" reg car ( this is a recent new unit and both keys are in perfect condition ) .
i have also just bought a nanocom evo from bbs which is a fantastic piece of kit .
i understand it wont be a plug and play type job i just need to know what i will need to do once everything is switch over or , is it a total non starter .
the battered 2 fobs i have at the moment are still working and 1 is numbered no3 the other ive no idea as the label has long since gone .
any constructive comments will be appreciated .

Not all BECM's are compatable with all engine ECU's so think carefully. PM Rick the Pick for more info.

Not sure if you can get it with the Nanocom, dealer will give it to you with proof of ownership usually free

If the engine are the same, yes. No need even to re-sync then.

anything mechanical doesn`t bother me after 40+ yrs on the spanners and 20 or so yrs owning range rovers but , the electrics and ecu side of thing on these motors can be a head scratcher at times :frown: i didn`t want to just wade in and end up with 2 non runners and a skip load of grief .
ive just pm`d rick the pick for his veiws on my plan .
i was thinking / hoping that with both vehicles being same engine / spec it might be relatively straight forward .
