IPC update takes about a minute or so and quite a bit of experience with it now. Should it go wrong (pretty rare) there is a recovery procedure in the manual.

Update was successful on the idd, but no clock on the dash.

used the pre MY07 option as its a 56 plate.

Checked my firmware version and its on v3 -build 1268, the software is wants me to install v3 - build 1262 (release)

With the numbers, I would assume that its asking to download an older version?

regards

From memory I think you have to update the body control ECU too

It's the post 07 version that has the COD; you have effectively re-loaded what you already had.

Second time will be a charm.

For future reference, you can't rely on the number plate to identify things, really - use the VIN. Most 56-plates are 07MY. Wink

Hi

All these power supplies quote on the site are quite expensive for something you may only use intermittently Whistle

As a radio amateur I have a very chunky 13.8 volt 25-30A supply for running high power radios. Has anyone had any experience of using this type of power supply?

From what I've read the larger Ctek chargers have a "supply" mode for flashing cars which is constant voltage. Wouldn't this be the same as my big power supply?

Don't know anything about your power supply.

As for paying for a big power supply for long updates - well I use jump leads to a second vehicle.

Well if you're running a 100 watts of RF at 14 Mhz into a piece of copper wire, you need to see what the current is doing Thumbs Up

I would use it if I had access to such a beast.
I give my battery a good 12 to 24 Hr charge before I flash anything. This ensures that there is enough spare capacity to do what I need.
I did my 3 flash indicators on Friday morning. It only took two and a half minutes to complete. That's all my updates complete for the time being.
Prep for the MOT is next.
