I have run across a few cars that I have not been able to "read" at all.
1 was a 2003 WRX, it had the 2004 init connector on it (hadn't seen before). ECUFlash wouldn't read it with any of the methods available, 02/03 WRX , 04/05 WRX, etc.. In EcuExplorer it read as a AJ030.
The other was a 2006 WRX Wagon, I couldn't connect to it, but I walked over to another one and had no problem. Both showed up in EcuExplorer but just couldn't get a Read/Write from EcuFlash.
I'm using an OpenPort 1.2 cable. It happens very seldomly but sux when I run across it. Anyone else run into this? I'm using the latest install with the latest FTDI drivers installed with the 1.28 release.
