Is it possible to change out my chipped ECU? Anyone want it?

Have an APR chipped ECU. Sadly I am selling my car to move to San Francisco.

Is it possible to swap out the chipped ECU for someone else's non chipped one? It has the immobilizer.

Thanks for any advice?

It would be extremly helpful to those who are interested, if you post the exact P/N W/Rev, or....

at the least the year and approx. build date.
(It's on the inside door jamb)

This could then be cross-referenced to others that have the same engine/ECU-type.

Otherwhise, you miss an important audience.
the modifed ECU can only be used on same type ECU's/Engines.
