Put Ecu from E320 into C36

Since i Think im having problem with my ECU i want to try to put anoter one into that and sees if he runs.
Will a Ecu from a different m104 Engine works? since the ecu from c36 amg is pretty rare to find and i dont want to change it its not that isn't working. And its much easier to find one to a 280 or a 320

Do you know if it will works? i mean most of the c280 are manual and the c36 amg is automatic. Does that matter? does someone know the partnumber for the c280 ecu?

Transmission has nothing to do with the ecu on these cars. I ran a E320 ecu in my 3.6 swapped W124 for quite a while until I had the ecu chipped. No reason to think you could not do the same thing with the C280 ECU in the C36.

STOP!
The ECU is mated to the car via the VIN. You *cannot* install another ECU unless you purchase it from the dealer (and have them initialize it) or purchase one that is "virginized" by an aftermarket ME (Motor Electronics) supplier and then initialize it yourself using DAS/STAR/XENTRY (whichever is right for your model year car). Perform an internet search on "Passenger Car Drive Authorization Systems", download, read, and you will understand.

If you have EZS ignition switch system with infrared key, then can't put ECU only..!,

you will have to get complete Ignition system, "ECU/ESL/EIS/Key",,

also, not prefer to put (E280 2.8L) or (E320 3.2L) ECU, due to differ (C36 AMG 3.6L):-

"camshaft/heads/pistons & cooling nozzle/crank/Exh. valves & valve springs/timing angle"..!?!?

Ok .Well it has the EZS ignition. But since i can't get anyone to measure the voltage from the ECU to the camshaft sensor (which on my car is 3,5AC volt) and on my M111 Engine on my c220 only has 0,25AC volt and the m111 Engine runs fine even if i remove the wire to the camshaft sensor i can only conclude that it has to be the ECU signal to the camshaft sensor is well above the allowed range?
So thats why i Think i need to change it

My friend has a spare 97 C36 ecu that would sell cheaper than the listed price:
