5 star 30, but with the security pin so the bit needs a corresponding hole in the center.

I knew it was 5 star and I was close with no: 30. Still couldn't find one in my security bit sets, then, I realised something, I found a flat bladed screwdriver with a notch cut into it. That is what I used before. Anyway, thank you for your reply.

Can the whole ecu be removed while the plug is still connected?
I removed the two 10mm bolts but don't know if it pulls up from under hood or down from interior...
