ZumnRx8 07-16-2009 04:25 PM

someone who has upgraded please help!! IM updating right now and I get the Searching for board.....and then timed out waiting for response from unit....

ZumnRx8 07-16-2009 04:34 PM

ok i think its because i already had the cable connected to the board, i had to wait till i press the update button then when it says "connect cable to board" then at that moment connect the cable to the board!-DONE

Ok Im shipping it today to the PM i got from ROLLRBLADES>.....

The Reverend 08-04-2009 09:51 AM

It's cool man we are here for you :)

I figure SnowTexan will see my PM eventually but in the meantime if anyone else wants to get the cable next let me know and if I can get it out to you before I hear from SnowTexan I can send it out.

The Reverend 08-25-2009 11:38 PM

Sweet I'm all set. I'll send it out to you tomorrow SnowTexan you'll have it in a couple of days

Twiztog43 08-31-2009 03:50 AM

ZumnRx8 08-31-2009 11:36 AM

SnowTexan 09-23-2009 09:56 PM

Any one needing still needing the cable?

TotalImmortal 09-23-2009 11:59 PM

I need this cable my display has been crazy for the past couple of weeks. I need to update my metra box. Add me to the list.

ZMNRX8 09-24-2009 08:50 AM

Well... I would like to be added to the list! Only thing wrong with mine is the time... I'm getting tired of changing it. Let me know!

TotalImmortal 09-25-2009 09:09 PM

Is the cable still going around? I haven't had a response yet.

Renesis555 09-26-2009 05:14 PM

I need the cable. please add me to the list. adjusting the time all the time is getting annoying :(

Double Down 09-28-2009 09:34 AM

Want to add myself to this list. Would love to do this firmware update and not have to pay $60 for a cable I will use once.

jay_ar1010 09-28-2009 10:46 AM

jay_ar1010 needed to...is the cable still on going....

SnowTexan 09-28-2009 10:27 PM

Mailed the cable to TotalImmortal today.

krijpipudht 09-28-2009 10:31 PM

Hey guys,
I did the update a while ago but I never notice this problem.

My outside temp reading is off in hot day.
Temp never goes above 70F and it does not update.
I drove from cool SF to hot LA Seven Stock all the way and the temp never change.

Seems like the reading is done when Metra is power up only.
The reading is ok in cool temp. It does show around 40-60F correctly.


Not sure if the sensor or Metra problem.
Any thought?

Prosk8er735 10-13-2009 05:35 PM

So i just got my metra kit last week and installed it over the weekend and ive noticed that it definitely looses time about 20 minutes or more overnight so im assuming that i dont have the most up to date firmware... is there anyway to tell what firmware you have? and i think i need to sign up for this cable

rodjonathan 10-13-2009 05:59 PM

you need the update ... i dont think the updated firmware is being shipped out yet as the dont sell that many metras for our 8s theyre still probably selling the batches with the old firmware ..

Renesis555 10-14-2009 12:04 PM

got the cable, will send to double down soon as I update mine.

Prosk8er735 10-14-2009 12:42 PM

so do i get signed up automaticly or do i have to pm somebody?

ZMNRX8 10-14-2009 12:46 PM

I still need the cable as well if possible... no rush, just didn't want to be forgot about! :)

lokaldisruption 10-14-2009 01:47 PM

sign me up!! if any1 is local here in so cal area no need to ship i will drive to you...=)

mr80 10-16-2009 03:47 PM

Hi

Please add me to the list as well.

BTW, I just spoke to Metra Tech Support, and they offered to update it for me if I'd send them the circuit board in a padded envelope. Obviously this would mean a week or so without climate or stereo, but it might make sense for some people....

Scotchee 10-17-2009 09:48 AM

Please add me to the list also.

I just had a scary thought ... that cable's been around a lot - what if they release a 1.5 version ... :eek:

Thanks.

rollerbldes 10-17-2009 12:19 PM

Hey guys.. just to let you guys know, I'm not centrally organizing the cable anymore. I have no clue where the cable is and who has it. If you guys can figure it out, then feel free to keep sending the cable around.

tamz273 10-21-2009 09:07 AM

Hey Guys,

Im looking out for the cable too. Im in Boston.. Hows the list going? If someone can tell me where the cable is, I can organize a new list since rollerbldes seems to have taken his hands off the issue. Can the person with the cable please PM me and I will put together a list?

Thanks!

mkmike103 10-21-2009 05:32 PM

What's the easiest way to tell what version you have? Heard something about the number on the bottom of the axxcess box?

Renesis555 10-21-2009 09:09 PM

Cable is being sent to jay_ar1010 tomorrow.

tamz273 10-22-2009 08:58 AM

Cool. Heres the latest list guys. jay_ar1010 will need to send to Prosk8er735..

Prosk8er735 - location??
ZMNRX8 - VA
lokaldisruption - CA
mr80 - CA
Scotchee - MD
tamz273 - MA
mkmike - NY

I figured if ZMNRX8 is in no rush for the cable, maybe he can wait until mr80 is done with it, that way it'll start making its way north instead of going up and down and all over..

Double Down 10-29-2009 09:53 AM

adding myself back to the list. was outta town and missed my turn.


St. Louis, MO

tamz273 11-05-2009 10:16 AM

Updates on the cable? Who has it?

Also, will anyone be willing to Paypal me some money so we can pitch in for a cable and ill start sending it down? Im not asking for a 50% donation or anything, but if I can gather a decent amount I dont mind paying for the cable, flashing, and starting sending it down.. That way we have 2 cables going around...?

Prosk8er735 11-06-2009 08:46 PM

any word from jay_ar? anyone know if he has the cable ?

ZumnRx8 11-06-2009 08:50 PM

JAR_AR is a retard (JK):lol2: He bought my metra kit off of me so there was no need to update the firmware on it because i already had done it....:) (I did mine back in MARCH)

I dont know what he was thinking :uhh: sometimes i think that guy is lost... as far as getting the cable back from him or getting him to respond... you all better PM him a lot because it took him 1 & 1/2 months to pay me for the METRA KIT.....:wavey: GOOD LUCK getting the cable passed around...
