The Subaru dealership was finally able to fix my keyfob (program it) and clear the check engine code. They had to replace the ECM to do it.
Once I flash the car's tune with my Ecutek tuke, my keyfob will still be programmed to the vehicle, however if I ever need anything else from Subaru in the future. They will never be able to read the vehicle.
The lead tech at the dealership said Ecutek is blocking their scan software (and i assume all Subaru dealerships are using) called Select Monitor 3.
Tech suggested I use a different software. He recommended Cobb which doesn't block their scan tools but I don't believe there are any ones specifically for the BRZ, I've only seen Ecutek.
So now I will go back to the dealership next week, flash my car back to my Ecutek tune (once I get an updated license because I now have a new ECM) to get things back to normal. But if I ever need a keyfob again, I will have to spend another $1k on parts and labor for them to do that. Also i can only check CEL codes through Ecuteks tool and never the dealerships since they are not able to read the car once I flash it.
Isn't that unbelievable?
P.S. OBD2 port was just fine as they obviously were able to read the vehicle just fine once they installed new ECM.
