    Default Install a KIA Sorento 2011 US model ecu to a non-US Sorento Petro! Is it possible?

    Hi Friends,

    I tried to swap a US model ecu to a non-US Sorento Petrol, but no start.
    Later I found out that Sorento in the US market doesn't equipped with Immobilizer.
    What possibly can be done to make it work?
    Or can this ecu be cloned in this situation?

    BR

    I will ask the owner to try to get matching ecu.
    Don't want to waste time on this job.

    Is it possible to add a key to Kia Sorento 2011 by obd2 in all key lost situations?

    BR,
