5. As long as I do not press the "OPS Button" myself, the OPS screen stays there and I can't power off the unit until I do so
All I want is to be able to shut off the unit even when its in OPS mode then I dont have to press the button all the time after parking
Still no firmware links DkN?? Was hoping for this before the holiday commuting, maybe for the new year??
I'm still pressing for the older V version, but they're pretty busy over at the R&D department at the moment as you can probably imagine. If I don't get it this weekend I will just send out the newer M version first which I already have with me. It's been a while since a firmware update for the V version customers though, and it would be the second time I've sent an update for the M version only =/Quote:

That's not the latest, it's from around September. The main software is all in the MPU, and you have M82 (M version - V version will say V82). We are now up to M93.Quote:

They no longer have V version motherboards as it is old, and this is partly why they are always slower with V version software releases. In fact since their distributors don't normally deal with firmware flashing at all, they generally don't release V version firmware unless I request it (I myself currently have a V unit).
There used to be no other practical differences between the two versions until recently, with the latest software they have enabled fast reverse camera switch so it takes almost no time for the RVC to boot up, but this is not possible in the old V version.
Note if you flash M firmware to a V unit or vice versa you could brick your device.
Another note: be careful when screwing down the display into the dash. It appears that the LCD is very close to the case, and if the case warps slightly, the LCD can and will crack :(
Ouch.
Bad luck mate, but you can get just a replacement LCD from them if you're okay with opening up the unit yourself. The unit must not have been sitting in the dash properly when you were screwing it in, it is a tighter fit than OEM but it should sit pretty much completely flush against the dash before you apply the screws, don't leave a 1cm gap thinking it'll slide into place when you screw it in.Quote:

I am not happy with the poor customer service!
We'll see how well they respond to this error. I'll keep everyone posted. Definitely not worthe the shipping cost with the delay and the incomplete shipment!
Paul.
They sent me new firmware. Only diff is an MCU number xxx121123.m1.T1
(was xx120831.m1.T0)
MPU is still M82

Who did you deal with? They have some new recruitments in sales there maybe you got unlucky. As I mentioned they normally do not include maps unless you request it and they will then charge you an extra fee.Quote:

They ship almost exclusively through DHL, the delay is probably in producing your unit. Not making excuses for them, but when you order direct from them it's not uncommon to run into misunderstandings and less than ideal customer service. I'd recommend anyone ordering direct to deal with Michael, he's generally easier to deal with and knows a bit more than most of the others (partly due to dealing with me :wink:).
Keep in mind though that you are dealing direct with the manufacturer for individual purchases, there's only a certain level of service you can expect for something like this.
