Made a Boo Boo :-(

I just installed my new turbo kit and flashed the tune over, however I did not write down my immobilizer code, so now the car will not start. I still have ecu flash open from when I did it. Is there a way to undo the rom change, or find my immobilizer. Again, I have not closed out the program since I did this.

If theres a way to unhook the immobilizer, thats fine as well, anything to get my car started.

I was reading over in the EcuFlash forum that there is an alternate ROM that 05 MR's are using with Tephra's v5. One of the things that I noted was that they had to remove the immobilizer code because of space constraints. Might get you running again.

Pretty much only option is to disable the immobilizer. Search the ecuflash forum on how to do this, I have it done on my 05, and have posted in the thread discussing it. If you cannot find it, PM me, I will help you.
