Your situation is somewhat unique due to your standalone (Autronic) ecu. I'm extremely confident in my recommendation that you need to get in touch with Autronic to help with the diagnosis. For example, if you've already tried two different USB/serical cables, and you know your laptop is not the problem, then it's likely your ecu has an issue.

As a reference, I'm also running an aftermarket, 'standalone' ecu in my Mkiv TT (an AEM). Before that I ran a Haltech. I've worked on several other Mkiv TTs with standalone ecus. Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on how you look at it) I've had to become intimately familiar with these types of issues.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
