    so after fidgeting with the computer for about 3 hours trying to figure out why I was connecting / disconnecting... unable to read... able to read.

    I found my trouble.

    my tactrix cable appears to have failed at some point in the short time I've owned it.

    I'm sure it's just something as stupid as a solder point, or maybe a cable is a bit loose... but I don't want to take a chance and lose my ecu if it decides to fail on me in mid flash.

    i'm a little hard bummed right now.

    I bought the cable for a reasonable price, and now they are about 150?
