    I am trying to remove one of the key find someone stole it and they already stole stuff out of my car. I can connect to the main ECU the hybrid control module and two others so 4 out of 14
    So I have the wrong cable ? Reads mini-vci J2534 standard oboII communications interface
    Do I have to buy a different cord or is there something else afoot?

    Yes there are many problems with many of the VCI cables apparently the j standard is apparently messed with by just any company that wants to play with it change wire pin outs all that stuff I don't know It's crazy so there's a file here in the forums that list all of the cables and units that play nicely that people have reported so far.

    Search for threads by ChapmanF where he mentions Tactrix Openport 2.0.
