* ECU Strategy: NOT FOUND
This is what the SCT TSWire shows - and why Forscan for Android says it cant communicate with the car.

I have the same issue - and put in the strategy code from a save picture I gave my tuner - he didnt block my ability to see it - I asked him - however even when I enter the correct strategy code - it wont accept it.

If you have a saved profile, you can usually connect using this profile.
If you don't have a saved profile, reset to stock using the SCT. Connect to the car & save profile.
Reflash with the SCT & connect to the car using the saved profile.
