Default Tactrix help

I'm going to flash my car this weekend but I don't have the little connector that comes w/ the tactrix cable. Is there anything I can do or do I need to wait and buy a new one? I need to find one by tomorrow if necessary.

is the car a 02 or a 03-05? i am fully assuming that the car is a wrx. if it is the 02 model then all that needs to be done would be a paperclip to jump between the two connections. if it is 03-05 just use two paperclips and jump between the corresponding points. look on tactrix to see which lines up.

It's an 03 WRX. I think I'm going to wait until next weekend to flash and buy one from tactrix this week. Thanks anyways guys.

you can just buy a little bit of wire, 4 female slide terminals and a 4 pole switch.

i did that to mine and whenever i need to flash the car, plug in the cable and hit the switch. works awesome
