I guess just this ecu as the whole reason I got the ktag was to turn off the immo due to a failing cluster but down the road who knows I may need to replace the ecu so being able to clone the ecu would be good. Now the seller said I could send the ktag back but if there's nothing wrong with the ktag which that could be a possibility because I have a 5P083C eeprom which I have read that they are a pain to work with.. I do have other vehicles that are early 2000 which I may be able to use the ktag on...as for the ecu in question I've also tried the nefmoto software but my cable is a ch340 which wont work and I'm having trouble locating 1 that I think will work ...

Any way thanks for any recommendations and yes this is soly for the use of hobie

Lol I did the exact same thing with a switch in the engine bay with me7_95040.exe and that's how I was finally able to get a read with boot mode....
Could you recommend a cheap cable that will work with nefmoto software I have looked but really having trouble identifying what will work I've found some that say FT232RL but not sure if it will work or if the FT232RL chip is programmable,  also if theres any other el cheapo cables you could recommend it would be appreciated... I'm not gonna lie trying different things this and that and getting it to work is kinda addictive. 

I sent you a pm ...
