04 WRX, cannot connect to ECU using tactrix cable.

Currently have the Cobb Accessport V1 on the car and was able to datalog with it still installed (married) to the car. I un-married it from the car which is supposed to set the stock ECU back to the factory configuration. After I did that I wasn't able to connect to the computer and reflash it using the tactrix cable. I was using all of the latest software, and tried every subaru listed to try and get it to connect and it never worked. It's a friend's cable and it works fine on his EVO and Legacy GT.

Also, we tried it with the green connectors connected, dis-connected, with the jumper wire, without the jumper wire, and all combinations. Any suggestions or ideas appreciated.

Well we tried it about 10 minutes ago and I already forgot exactly what it said when we tried to connect but it was something along the lines of, "does have the required features to connect to this ecu". We again tried every car listed, and this was on a different laptop than last time.

I'm wondering if it's the wrong cable. The cable he has works on his 03 evo and his 05 legacy gt. He originally bought it for the evo (probably a 1.3M cable) and according to the page that lists what cable works with what car http://openecu.org/index.php?title=E...VehicleSupport that cable won't work with any wrx's except sti's. But that 1.3U (universal) says it will work with anything and looks identical to the 1.3M (mitsubishi) cable. Any ideas about that? If I can't figure anything out I guess I'll call a tactrix dealer next week and see if they've run into this before.

Looks like you figured it out. That error is accurate. That must be a 1.3M cable. You need one of the other cables.
