People, Listen up.
Do NOT follow Merlin's guide Section 1.13 if you have a rom that is not defined. If you hack a definition file to match your new rom id, you HIGHLY risk bricking your ECU.
I repeat, if you HACK your Definition Files to get your rom to show up in EcuFlash, you HIGHLY Risk Bricking your ECU.
Trust me, if it was that simple, I would have your new definition file up on my site in seconds.
(literally seconds)
Do NOT follow Section 1.13 in Merlin's Guide, unless you want to join the 20+ people that I've helped un-brick their ECU.
Edit:
The rest of the guide is awesome. Don't get me wrong. I like the guide. It's just this one section that causes many people grief when they don't know what they are doing.
