after firmware up date 2009-04-30 all gone wrong :( :(
when i turn the gauge on the heater count starts gets to h03 then the a/f says fu and the temp says ffu
any body got any ideas ??? ???
tryed to re upload starts then logs off

Personally I'd bin the newer firmware and go for an older version, there would have to be a specific reason to update to something new.
no joy with old firmware ???
Is the firmware uploading or does it still get halfway through and then die?
half way then dies
thinkit says 93 checksome errors

Are you using a USB->Serial converter?
hi rob yes using usb converter

That can often be a cause of upload problems, have you ever used another type of USB->Serial converter on your laptop? If so then it might be a case of uninstalling all of the drivers you have and then ensuring that the driver of the current USB->Serial is installed properly.
Failing that can you find a laptop with a serial connection?
I had this problem after applying firmware 2009-04-30. It counted to 03, then displayed F's. It applied correctly, 0 checksum errors, but wouldn't do anything. You then can't apply other firmwares, it gives an error along the lines of an unknown state.
I was able to get out of it though - when you first power the gauge up as soon as it starts to count up immediately apply the firmware dated 2008-02. Get the command ready and then hit enter immediately as soon as it starts counting - if you get the timing right it will start to apply the earlier firmware. Don't try the other 2009 one either - it did the same for me, stick with 2008.
It does my head in that they've made such a shit firmware available.
hi rob back again for more ??? ???
tryed old laptop but still no joy if its caput how much can you do a new one for

No need for a new one if its just software, is it possible to extract the gauge and send it to me, I'll find a way of forcing the bloody firmware on ;D
Seems to be a common problem this as, mine is also doing it. I've got not Heater counting before the display shows -FU -FFU
It just flashes -E- for a split second then goes straight to -FU -FFU. When i try installing the older firmware it just says it can't connect.
I really hope it's not a case of sending gauges back to get them reprogrammed, it'll take me the best part of a day to get my out as i'll have to take half the dashboard out.
will this procedure work? i got it off the vems.hu site

Is there any update on this? My gauge still isn't playing ball. Since it doesn't do the heater count there just isn't any time to upload the old firmware. The connected to a laptop the gauge seems to be working, as all the values on the laptop screen are right. It's just nothing shows on the gauge other than the -FU -FFu.
I thought the answer was to go back to the 2008 versions.
The release procedure is pants I'm afraid.

Try pressing button long or in megatune put zeros to all boxes in display demo menu (probably you see 165 in two places). You guys are experiensing AIM input that is enabled when not checking the settings after update. S flood always works.
Ok i'll give the S flood a try see what happens.
