Ive got a 05 wrx PPP blobeye, i got the OBD II cable from tactrix and the reflash plug, ive got a CEL light on and want to turn it off, i connected the cable to the port under the steering wheel and then plugged the 2 green plugs together, the cell light flashed and the fans for the radiator power up and down i ran the ecu explorer software and tried to read the ECU and the software is unable to see the ECU, the cable installed with openport 1.3 drivers, im also tried using ecuflash and euginity but none of them see to see the ecu, i also cant see where to plug the reflash plug can someone help there too. if i ever get it going i would like to try some basic mapping for things like the exhaust thats on it and other stuff.
can anyone give me any advice or a link to a good website.
ive read the scoobipedia stuff and been on openecu.org
cheers for any help.
