Oh you're talking about something that's removable in the car itself not the key? (I thought you were talking about that little chip that GM puts on thier keys).

Where at are you talking about on the ECU? I HAVE seen them put the EPROM chip for the ECU on a removable board. Or is it an actual security feature?
