I've had a search through trying to find details on ecu unlocking but can't seem to find a definitive answer. Sorry if this has already been covered in depth elsewhere- I couldn't find it.

My understanding:
Standard ecu unlock requires ignition on, then removal of the ecu plug. This will unlock ecu from immobiliser that it's paired with.
I want to do an engine swap into my 309gti, so is it correct that this should work, or do I have to otherwise modify the ecu? From what I've read it seems the ecu won't fit straight into another 6 without modification of either the transponder unit or the ecu itself, but this shouldn't be required for my application right?

Thanks

Yes. For what you want - removal from the donor with the ignition on will suffice.
