Just wanted to drop back in with a non-technical post now that I've accomplished what I set out to do - have a replacement ccm that's actually programmable. Open source tools are just the icing on the cake. As I've indirectly stated previously, I'm not interested in the odometer tangent any farther than it pertains to being able to erase the mode 5 lockout.
First off, huge thanks to NomakeWan, steveo and kur4o for your insatiable curiosity and immense knowledge and patience. Without your contribution I'd surely still be banging my head against the wall. Blue Streak Electronics can also be begrudgingly thanked for making the ridiculous mistake of selling me a part through RockAuto that was supposedly "plug-and-play, no programming required". Shame on you.
Even if I find later that I haven't fixed my battery drain issue, I'm extremely happy with the outcome. I may or may not try advertising ccm reprogramming services over on cf at a very cheap rate, mainly to generate a source for donor eeprom / uveprom dumps. If anyone objects voice your opinion here. I just want to learn more, and if I can do that while providing a service at a reasonable price, no-one loses.
NomakeWan if you want to take it further and perhaps engineer a patched ROM for the 411 swap guys you have my blessing and support. I'm not planning on desoldering the uveprom, but I'd be happy to loan the module to you if you so desired. No strings attached except that steveo has first dibs.
