You can upgrade to modular use your loom change 2 or 3 wires from memory but the maps won't work as they work differently on the modular I've tried before.

Depends which modular you go for. The M1200 shares the 420d loom but the M2000 upwards doesnt.

I always had to power the ECU through the normal loom for serial, even with a USB converter into the PC. I can't remember if I ever tried a 420 series like this though pretty sure I always used the USB port.
Adey, might be an easy repair, when I fitted my ECU I noted that the USB port might be susceptible to the cable being banged or vibrated a lot and it might upset the solder joints, I put a shield over my connection and tied the wires down so it wouldnt vibrate. It may well be just that someone has bashed the cable.

It shares the same loom the m1200 but you have to swap a few wires over which isn't an issue but the map file itself will load up but it won't work due to the way the new modular run. I had a discussion with Andy at adaptronic on it and we tried to convert a file and still didn't work.
