I could never get this one (to be clear, 551R running 551S software) into bootmode, either.  Tried every trick identified at the time (2012).

Did 3 today Tongue

No resistor, no fancy counting. Just ground it, power it up, remove the ground.

Well I'm pretty jealous of you right now haha. I got a used ECU but am as expected running into IMMO issues. Is the only way to remove the immo to use argdubs tool to flash the eeprom off? Or how is it that the s4 mbox bins do not ask for the immo data is this something that can be coded into the 551R bin as well? Think I may have to bite the bullet and call up the dealer tomorrow.
Thanks again

Send me the ecu, I will do it for you. Otherwise, just keep trying!

You'll get it.

I'll pm you. I think the added stress of no backup ecu adds to the frustrations right now

Hey all dillenger was kind enough to sort out my ECU issue for me. The car is not starting now and continues to just crank over. I checked and its pushing fuel through so that doesnt seem to be an issue. Next thing I was going to check was if its sparking. Whats the best way to check for this?
Thanks

After DD helped me with mine. I could identify my problem as a bad clone cable. When he sent the ecu back I tried my cable to connect with nefmoto and it didnt want to. So i purchased another cable and it works perfect for everything.

Yea I've been meaning to order a MPPS cable. I used a ross-tech cable in dumb mode seems to work fine. Think what did the first one was loading the wrong bin on then a faulty boot harness. Since getting the car running on the new ECU I can't get the air suspension to work so the cars on the bump stops. I didn't think the ECU was tied to the level controller. But if anyones had experience with having the self level, ESP, and ABS lights all on and can offer soem insite much appriciated.
thanks
