The COBB can still flash maps and fully go through Recovery Mode after it gives me that ERROR but it just wont complete an uninstall for some reason.

and I thought if the car didn't match the info stored on the AP it wouldn't let you install the AP in the first place?
Ok sounds like your battery is a little weak, another way to hook to an external source without a charger or something is to jump it to another car, have the other car running but leave yours shut off. Or try going for a long drive and see if that'll juice up the battery a bit say a 30 min drive.

As far as why the AP and the BT tool show two different DME's. I dont know all I know is that mine matches up I have the IJEOS DME.
