Please don't use the low end socket Keydiver ships in your ECU. The standard wiper style socket does a horible job holding the chip in place. It can even push the chip out of the socket over time. .People used to go reseat the chip in early computer systems as part of the service process because chips in standard sockets come loose.

A machine pin socket is a much better choice. They are designed for use in applications subject to vibrations and the EPROM chip won't pop out on it's own.
