It should work. What version of ECUFlash are you running? I have version 1.42 I believe, and utilize a 1.3 tactrix.

It will work with the newest versions...I ran into the same issue...

After a bit of diag, I came to the conclusion it was the cable itself. Come to find out later, it was the laptop itself.

Long story short...wiped computer, started over with new OS, everything works perfect.

Good luck. This seems to be a trend for some. Here's a thread with people with the same problems. I had the same problem. I tried uninstalling everything, then reinstalling. No luck. Ended up having to buy a used 1.3 cable and it worked 1st time.

Just as an FYI if you really bought the cable from tractrix the reason the cable wont work is the key stored inside the cable isn't the correct number of digits. Email tactrix with your receipt and they can give you instructions how to change the key in the cable to work with the new software.

Apparently they did this to stop cable clones from being made by other sources.
