Answer
The ECU and BDC are synced to each other and the key fobs, so you would need a matched set of those from another car.  In my experience in America its more sensible to buy and code a new BCU.  FWIW I have never seen a BCU and  ECU fail together unless they were submerged in water by a flood.
