It turns out it won't work with ecuflash. I need the 1.3u. My question is why does the 1.3r cable have the white flash plug if you can't flash the ecu? Also the evoscan software has a button for reading and writing to the rom. Is this the same as flashing the ecu?
I searched for this but couldn't get a satisfying answer. Thanks for your help.

I think this post has the answer:

"The OpenPort 1.3D (only useful for Datalogging)
The OpenPort 1.3R (only useful for Datalogging and Reprogramming the ECU if using EVOSCAN, not ECUFLASH as it doesn't have the necessary ECUFLASH serial number)
The OpenPort 1.3U (useful for Datalogging and Reprogramming with ECUFLASH, has the necessary ECUFLASH serial number)"
Basically, the 1.3U has a built-in serial number required by ECUFLASH. I'm not sure why this is required. I suspect it's a feature to prevent users shooting themselves in the foot when attempting to use ECUFLASH with an unsupported cable that could cause damage.
I'm only starting to learn about tuning using ECUFLASH and EVOSCAN, so I don't know the answer to your read/write the ROM via EVOSCAN question. EVOFLASH is typically used for reading the ROM and flashing, while EVOSCAN is used for logging. I would think the read/write buttons would be used to load and store logs from EVOSCAN, but that's just my guess from reading/research.
