If you want to use ap2 ecu, you need to get your key reprogrammed to match the ECU. Or else the immobilizer will not allow it to start. Thats why your AP1 ecu is starting the car because it is still linked to your key.

 

The drive by wire (2006+) engine and ecu is different so that wont work but as long as you have a 04-05 ap2 engine and ecu that should work if you reprogram the immobilizer.
