I can't seem to find a compatible ROM file in the available list.
What am I doing wrong?
Keep in mind I'm computer retarded...

Your tuner should have sent you both your custom rom, and a rom file you can use to reflash back to stock. What are you trying to do?

I received everything about an hour ago. I'm just trying to flash the ecu.

I just heard back from the vendor. It seems they haven't sent my tune out yet.
I guess I'll have to wait patiently...

some quick instructions:

Save the rom file you want to program somewhere easily accessible (like your desktop)
Connect EcuTek Cable to Cars OBD2 port
Connect USB end of that cable to laptop
Connect USB dongle to laptop
Open ProECU
Turn cars ignition to the "on" position (MOTOR OFF)
Click Tools -> Detect Vehicle
Select Program ECU
In the top left, there will be a button for you to select the rom to program, click that button, locate and select the rom file you saved to your desktop from step 1
Click Query ECU (Optional)
Click Program ECU
Wait for process to finish. Do NOT power off your laptop, car, or unplug any cables while the ECU is being flashed.
