Question ECM Swap or Spare

Can a ECM from another GT bolt in and run my car. This is assuming the EMC has a stock tune on it. Or does it have to be reflashed? Dont the keys have to be flashed with the box so they match up?

The year of the car you're talking about would be helpful.

2005 had a different main harness plug on it. As far as swapping them yeah it will work, your tuner will just need to disable PATS.

There's a difference especially on 2011+ cars.

Still you need to deal with the PAT's system that only Ford will be able to help you with.
