Here's my log result with an EcuTek ODBII interface cable:

It starts to work, but near the end the ignition dies and then the software pops up an error box.

So I'm thinking I need a second cable for EcuFlash on my 04 USDM WRX.

Deltadash cable doesn't have the +12v supply circuitry for reflashing. Just the k-line etc.

What Spiider says is true, but in addition, you are using a serial port based cable that is limited by your computer's serial port and won't be able to do the unusual baud rates needs to read/reflash the ECU.

I looked at the $80 US Tactrix cable.. There's only one however and I read that we should be shopping for the "WRX" version?

That is old information. There is only one "universal" cable now that works for all Subarus.

Hi Colby
Do you plan the production of a new can-bus cable or not?

Thanks
Dimitris

Yes, I am planning on building a CAN cable, but it will be a while yet before I will make it or have supporting software.
