s60 etm fault

[brizzz]

i was looking for an ETM for my friends s60, so got the part, took it to Volvo specialist garage and they told him that software on ETM cant be changed hence he has to buy brand new ETM from them.

question is - can second hand ETM be programmed to another car?

thanks

im led to believe one may work from the same year and part number...cheaper option would be to have it repaired....

Find a new Volvo specialist mate he knows nothing about this issue.

They can be reprogramed to work, what year is the car in question?

[brizzz]

ok, so which is the number that has to match?
and he sent it off to repair and was told that it cant be repaired

yeh, my mate works for Volvo dealers abroad and he told me the same, that they can be reprogrammed. the car if not mistaking is 2001. made

Im not sure if its the same as a P1 V70 ME7 but on this model as long as its a turbo one or N/A it should be fine.

Alternatively send your original one to this guy thus no programing required:
