ELM327 adapters can only do basic interaction with ECU using standard OBD calls, ie read cel codes clear cel codes and access basic engine data that the manufacturer has made available via standard obd call they are required to by law.

To flash the ECU with new ROM data you need a specialized device any one of the 3 below will work they are in order of cheapest to most expensive. Tactrix is the least user friendly

Tactrix adapter
OpenFlash Tablet -comes with free tunes
Ecutek Cable and Licience
