3. The ECU does not appear to be programmable with the ATEQ quickset tool (latest firmware QD1-44)

I have a ATEQ VT-55 which lets me read the sensors, but not the OBDII attachement that lets you program ECU so I can't say if it would work or not but I doubt it.

I'll be playing around with this a little more later today. I haven't tried every possible Toyota/Scion/Subaru Make/model combination for the Quickset yet. I'm also going to contact ATEQ and ask them about firmware updates to support the BRZ/FR-S.


Edit:

Here are the sensor readings from I was able to get with the VT-55

---- LEFT FRONT ----
Sensor ID : ID: 1295AE
Pressure : 35.4 PSI
Temperature : 60 F
Sensor state: WAKE
---- RIGHT FRONT ----
Sensor ID : ID: 12952D
Pressure : 35.4 PSI
Temperature : 62 F
Sensor state: WAKE
---- RIGHT REAR ----
Sensor ID : ID: 12952C
Pressure : 34.4 PSI
Temperature : 57 F
Sensor state: WAKE
---- LEFT REAR ----
Sensor ID : ID: 129524
Pressure : 33.9 PSI
Temperature : 60 F
Sensor state: WAKE
FWIW I had a meeting yesterday with the rep from ATEQ (I work in the aftermarket) and he was well aware of the FRS/BRZ and said they'll have an update shortly. He also is building a 2011 WRX with his son so he is a big fan of the twins.

"But there’s no mistaking the noise. This car is loud, and not in a particularly nice way. There’s no crisp exhaust note, no induction wheezing. It’s just the sound of petrol exploding in a metal box." - Jeremy Clarkson
