Did you happen to ask if it can be done by sending in both ECUs? Or does the 09-11 ECU have to be in the car when the reprogramming is done? Just wondering if this can be a service that a shop can offer.

I didn't ask that directly, but I'd imagine no. You'd have to program the vehicle's VIN into it, as well as the key..but you don't need the older ECU. 2008-2010 are interchangeable, just as long as you have a base map .rom file loaded to it and the NATS disabled/bypassed/fixed. That all can be done with the Nissan Consult Remember, 2011 and later you need to swap the entire harness and modules along with the ecu.
I'm assuming it'd be easier to either go to the dealership with it and say your ECM is acting screwy and you want it all re-programmed to work, or you can find a local guy who knows how to do it.
I think I'm going through Tony in Florida to purchase AND re-program the ecu...all I'd have to do is get Ecutek flashed on (and probably reprogram the key). I found a guy local to me who can do the reprogramming part, but as with any service, I couldn't find a track record of the guy's work, so I'm leaning toward pulling into the dealership, swapping the ecu in the parking lot, and tell them that my ish don't work when I walk in lol.
