why dont you look into the white init socket in your car baside the obdII socket,
see where the init pin is and remove the pin from the plug on the tatrix cable and swap it over. simple
There should be only one pin in the socket in the car, just make sure the white tatrix connector pin mates up to that,
you will need a very small screwdriver to remove the pin from the tatrix white init connector so you can swap it over.

The white connector only needs that one pin to flash. How do I know? I only used that white pin on a car that had the white connector on the car side cut off. Also the white car side connector only has one pin out.
The black side, the top right pin needs to be swapped to the bottom right.

I noticed that the plug on my car (evo IX) has unputs for the pins already on the cable but is missing the one you mentioned on the bottom right....

actually from looking at the wiring diagrams it shows the only pin in the white connector in the car is in the same place as the cable in your white connector, position 26 on the white connector

im so mad, i feel ripped off....
yes my white connector is right. but I think i am missing a pin on the back tactrix connector... I wonder if that is why my cable wont read the ECu.
