car wont start after attempting to program ecu with hypertech

I am not familiar with that specific software, but it seems to me that with something as important as flashing your ecu, a backup would be made prior to flashing... They might have that built into the software. Either way you need to contact the company and see if anything can be done. It is their product, they would probably know best what if any the solution would be

so nissan has my car right now. i didnt tell them i was messing with the ecu hoping to get the repair covered by warranty. i just said car wouldnt start over night. unfortunately i have an aftermarket alarm installed. and of course they said the people who installed the alarm installed something that fried the ecu just so they avoid paying under warranty. is there a chance that the ecu is not fried? maybe theyre just saying that? theyre trying to charge me too damn much. we all know its not the alarm. one of my sources said the remote start interrupted the programming which caused it to not finish because the remote start is drawing power from the battery. im trying to send uprev an email but it wont go through. i guess ill call them on monday. i need to get my baby back on the road!

Yeahhhh... Remote start isn't the best idea, I've come to find that almost 100% of them fry the ECU over time

Wellllll... My friend's Infiniti FX 45 burned one, my 2009 Maxima burned one, but the dealer replaced it because I was cool, my ex's Toyota Yaris burned one, and my friend's Honda Accord burned one...
My Maxima killed it in a year and the other cars were at various times, 2-4 years

Normally i would say get it in writing from nissan that the alarm system fried ecu. Go after the alarm company and make them pay damages... But honestly, since you used a product not designed for your year car and ruined it yourself, i would just feel wrong doing it. But to each his own, just trying to give you ideas how to get this payed for

You screwed up. Take responsibility for it and quit trying to make others pay for your mistake.
