To replace the ECM you replace . . . the ECM. Unless you're in a country where they did something strange with an immobilizer (please fill out your member profile so we know where you are) in which case you may need to make a trip to a dealer or be out of luck. For USA-spec RDs, just the computer. The door locks are just solenoids and the ignition switch is just a switch.
