I'd see if it'll run first, might have been lucky that the battery was taken off with the ignition on.

 

I got lucky with my gti6 ecu, bought an engine from an accident damaged car, turned up to find the guy had already started stripping it down so couldn't make sure it was done, thankfully it had been

Can you not just pop them in a car that has the keypad, enter the code and then remove the battery? The code is in the keypad isn't it, not the ECU?

The code is in the ECU. The only way to unlock an ECU if you dont have the keypad with code or imob chip from master key is to reprogram the ECU. If it is a Bosch ECU can you give me the number of the ECU. It will start with 0261. I might be able to help.
