So i have also figured out that maybe the issue isnt that the ECU is in a recovery mode as when i just try and connect the oft to the car in other ways, such as looking at the Realtime Data Display, i am unable to even connect to that. Could there be a problem with the connection?

yes if it wont connect to read ecu info or diagnostics might be hardware or connection issue.


remove battery terminal for few minutes then try again this will reset ecu

A friend of mine had an oft so I was able to use his cable and managed to tune my car so now I just need to buy a new cable! Any idea where I could source this cable?
