    Want to get this clear as I am in the same boat when I get mine done. May leave it until I get to SA later in the year and if possible get you or TRS to do it then.
    Also Mike, if you send your own ECU away to get flashed or rechipped rather than exchange is all this an issue? Will use of a Nanocom help in this issue? I thought you may be able to input the relevant info via a Nanocom.

    Rex,
    Mine has an immobilliser behind the dash that is supposed to be part of an alarm system. Apparently depending on spec or country the full alarm was available (Rave manual shows this).
    I have diagnosed mine and the Nanocom reads it and tests it. So it does infact exist on a TD5 but I am not sure wether it would cause any issues like the full BCU unit in a Disco. Once you have the full firmware upgrade from Nanocom you can see the 2 different listings with Defender Alarm and Discovery BCU sections. Obviously TD5 only.

    Mine has a little green box in behind the dash, is that the immobiliser that you mentioned?? , don't think mine has any sort of alarm, ex qld rail so i think they went skimp on a few options.

    Flew. Last flight was Sept 97 when I was with MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship).

    Spent 7 1/2 years at Milingimbi, Elcho Island, Numbulwar and then back to Elcho again. Racked up 5000 hours in C206 & C207

    The little green box is the 10AS alarm unit. Depending on the model of your vehicle it will either be enabled or not. County spec vehicles and above it will be enabled. Generally speaking if you have a keyfob it will be enabled, if not it wont.

    The good news is even if its not enabled you can enable it but you will need a keyfob (about £35 GBP each) and access to Nanocom / Rovacom etc to get it talking to the ecu and keyfob.

    The electronics are there!

    And the ECU still talks to them!
