Default Use the one for M.
As far as any scan tool will be concerned, you have an M-box ECU. The code on the chip is effectively the only difference between the various ECUs (at least as far as 6-spd ones are concerned... I don't have any experience with tiptronic ECUs).

Does this mean that you've got ECUx working? If so, congrats! :P

Default FYI, if you use an incorrect property file, it will log all flat data...
Certain ECUs are similar enough that they will still make connection, etc, but if you are using the wrong proprty file, the data will all be constant. Might not be all variables either. It'll start logging, and if you start moving, you'll notice nothing changes. Just wanted to mention that so if people see this happening, it's a sign that they are using the wrong property file.

Default Damn, you've got it working now!?
I forwarded APR my e-mail to them from last week asking for help. We'll see if they ever feel like responding to me. Great customer service ;p

Default Another ?, when you scan DTC's, what do you normally see? Any text scrolling or initializing?
Since I could not connect and get ECUx working I still have no idea what I am supposed to see.
