+APC I think is the 12 volt supply with the ignition switch key in the drive position i.e. the position after the accessories (+ACC) but before the operation of the starter - it should allow such as the fog lights to work.

When replacing the BSI and ECU have these been matched to each other and the car or is this what you are trying to do ?

ha ha i forgot to put a answer in.

It Sounds like you need to reset the anti theft system. try the following

 

put the ignition key in the ignition.

then turn to +APC (last postion before starting).

When you put the key in the +APC postion, press and hold the lock button of the remote. for 10 seconds, you need to start whit this whit in 5 seconds when you are in +APC.

then turn off the ignition and wait 3 min. then pull the key out of the ignition and close the door.

lock the car via the remote and wait 3 min.

open the car via the remote and start the car

 

have you got a imobiliser light showing on the dashboard
