That won't work. EIS come VIN coded so you have to go to the dealership as they are the only ones who sell them. They won't sell them to any other shops either. Good luck.

You are looking at around 800-1500 depending on where you live.

A bonified indy shop can do it too...my guy showed me an EIS with the little USB key from the factory that came with it, that requires SDS to install.
