    Dude is correct. If you are crafty with a pin release tool kit, you can make the harness work on either, but can't plug and play.

    Last client to bring in a hakentt/desert ecu flash, none of our standard scanners would work - not via the retro fitted interior obd port, or the BMW diag connector. Plugged an ecu in that still had stock flash, read perfect even though our wiring was blamed for the no-read. Obviously wouldn't start since ews was still enabled on the second one. Granted this was almost 2yr ago, maybe it has been remedied, just sharing a past experience.
