    I've got 1.2.4, hardware version 13. It's not DHP issue per se. 2005 isn't officially supported, you can only do full write on them so I knew there was a chance it wouldn't work right.

    This is pretty much the same issue I'm running into with my offboard tuning. I can pull a file off of an 05, but I can't write to it. It gets stuck in the constant loop of waiting for pcm verification, and that's pretty much it. 2004 has been pretty easy. Makes me wonder if I'll have any problems if I try HPT...but that's money to spend there.

    its just listed as a l67, thats a non issue, its a 05 bin try to flash one. theres the off chance your bin was never mapped by dhp or something like that.

    theres two in there one works, one dont, the other is a comp g bin. once you download one you can see if the osid # match or not. if its different try to flash it.

    Not a single PCM on eBay has an OSID that DHP lists as compatible. The 3 PCMs I got are all literally one number earlier though. Can it make that big of difference?

    you should be able to use a 04 or 05 pcm.

    Yep, all the PCMs are 04s, cheaper, and more of them.

    That's what I assumed about the OSIDs, DHP and TT won't let me open the ones that come on the PCM, but I can save them. Only been trying to write the ones I got from Bill.
