I bought my 2010 STi in 2009, voided the warranty within the first two weeks. Now im sitting happy with a Stage 3+ car. Just saying this because sometimes it does work out. I feel for you OP, I really do. I would have lost my **** if it was me. You’re a better man I guess. Hope for a better resolution for that car.

cant go wrong by going to Fine Line Imports!!! They have a new mechanic named Jerob who cares more about customer’s subies then his own. Great tunes by Miles, safe and powerful. Who wants to go lean and a little faster for 50k miles when you can go fast for 200k+ miles… just a thought, if your in the santa rosa area.

I just found out today why my AccessPort could not flash my ECU, turns out someone jam the OBD-II cable in to the bottom of my AP backwards, and pushed in the Pin that is used to flash the ECU, which is a different pin to communicate with the ECU for the OBD-II data.
COBB is going to replace it for free. with a one day turn around.

Capital Subaru did the ECU swap, they would not let me watch, so who knows how many people was in my car there. And we all know my cousin was messing with my car, and I did have a few friends sit inside my car while the motor work was being done. So I can't really say who broke the AccessPort. Some time between when I uninstalled the AP and when the ECU was swap. that was a 1 week window.
