Do the 08+ bikes use the same data cable for ECM that the earlier bikes that could use ECM spy? I acquired a cable and have Tunerpro on my laptop, but it doesn't seem to be able to communicate with the bike...

I know my dataport on the bike works, as I just had the bike re-flashed this morning with the update for the comfort kit.

Unfortunately, the bike threw a code on teh way home.

I had the stuff, but never tried it, so don't know if it's not comming due to the code, or other issue... any help is appreciated.

yup, same cable. But you also need the driver if it is a USB cable that makes a virtual serial port out of the USB port. Once installed, look under the device manager, under Ports-COM and LPT, and you'll see it if it is configured correctly. If you see it there, you can right click it, select properties, then Port Settings, then Advanced, and you can see and change the COM port that it is assigned to. The program must know that COM port to work.

Yup, did that, the computer found and installed to right drivers to make it a COM port. At first tunerpro wasn't seeing it, but a restart solved that, and it sees it now.

Oops, forgot to say that even though tunerpro sees the port, I'm still not getting data from the bike

Kill switch in the run position with the key on?

If yes, they next thing I'd do is short pins 1&2 out on the bike diagnostic connector, then turn on the ignition switch and have it blink the codes out. That will at least tell you that the ECM is seeing those 2 pins. And it'll tell you what you needed to know anyway, what the fault is.
