ECU Flash Problem

Ok guys maybe someone here can help me out.

I recently installed the newest version of ECU Flash and when I go to read from ecu it comes up with the list of vehicles to choose from, I drive an 06 and when I select the 06 Evo option it gives me an error saying something to the effect of unable to connect to vehicle interface.

What would be causing this problem?

If you have an older cable from evoscan it wont work with the new version ecuflash. Uninstall and go back to the old version of ecuflash.

I haven't had any issues with 1.42.2595.

It could be a multude of things. Is the car ON but not started (most common for me)? Is the battery fully charged? Do you have the white connector plugged in (or black OBD 1 connector if a 2.0 cable)?

All of your answers right here.

As with 99.989% of other people who can't connect to the ECU, it is probably a battery level problem (too old of a cable is a close runner up for 2nd).
