It's bricked -- google "bricked ECU" for more info

I believe you might be able to get it to unlock pulling the battery cables and leaving it like that for a few hours to clear everything out of memory, but if that doesn't work you'll have to have it dealt with by Nissan.

There may be other tricks to un-brick it you can find with searching -- not 100% that my suggestion works alone, so do some research to confirm.

Hyper tech is at fault ONLY if they don't specify what model years it works for -- in other words "09+" is ambiguous whereas "09-11" is not.

How to Unbrick an ECU. Like A Boss! - Subaru Impreza WRX STI Forums: IWSTI.com

the subaru community has a diy for unbricking the ecu. nissan people need to step it up a lil bit and come up with one too! lol. i dont think im up for that much work though. its all good. i went the safe route and did everything through the dealer so everythings under warranty. they already ordered my ecu and is shipping from japan soon. dealer said its not available in the states. it makes sense though. how many 2013s out there fry their ecu? im probably the first one! it sucks not having my car around though. :shakes head:

If you need help recovering the ECU let me know .

So what can you do for me, John? How are you gonna be able to recover it? Nissan said it's "fried" but who knows what that really means. They said they opened it up and saw some black spots indicating that its toast. hmmmm...

What the? That sounds like complete and utter BULL... And if it physically fried, I doubt the tuning thing would fry it like that... I could see it being bricked, but not physically damaged

Well sometimes people say they fried an ecu when bricked is the more appropriate term, to them not working = fried, But yea a reprogram shouldn't physically fry it.

I'm also curious, you said you have a remote start and a 6MT, how can you remote start a manual, do you leave a brick on the clutch when you park it? Or is it just that it has the ability on your alarms key fob?

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

There's a clutch bypass, that's why you shouldn't install one on a manual. Because if you leave it in gear... It's over...

(BTW, OP said the dealershit said his ECU was physically fried)
OP, go blame your remote start installers

During a program car a Ecu can be bricked or fried.. When we say fried we don't normally mean burnt it physically damaged. If your Ecu is physically damaged then you have a entirely different problem on your hands.

If the Ecu isn't I'm very confident that I can get the Ecu recovered

Let me know

How are you gonna do it?

A brick looks too sketchy. I just simply crazy glue the pedal to the ground.
But yeah there is a clutch bypass. And I always have to leave the car in neutral so it doesnt accidentally run over a cat napping.

You probably have to mail it to them. I'm sure they do something similar to the procedure on that Subaru forum.

I have software that will allow me to recover the ECU.

If that doesn't work there's another recovery process that can be done.

Either way you would have to mail the ECU to me

Let me know

Glad to Help
