scanguage II firmware update

I did the upgrade (I got it for free). I would almost like them to downgrade me back. But I think I am having more problems than are expected (see note at the end).

Pros:

• Supports more XGauges, like inverter temps, HV Fan speed, setting HV Fan speed, etc.
• You can use simultaneously XGauges that use the same TXD (such as HV current and battery temp).

Cons:

1. It is a lot slower with gauge updates. Even on the fast setting, mine only updates active gauges once every 1-2 seconds. Even passive gauges only work sporadically, with 1-2 second delays in between a burst of fast updates. Very annoying.
2. Entering XGauges is problematic with sometimes the gauge getting corrupted, especially if you try to edit it later or copy it.
3. I'm having a problem with it cutting out on me at higher speeds (>45 mph).

After emailing Linear Logic, they think it is related to #2 above and to send it in for another upgrade (to version 4.12). They think this will fix #2 and #3 above. Given my problems, I cannot rule out that #1 isn't related to #2, either.

Unless you have a specific need/want, I would stick with v3. Newer is not always better.

 

My unit was upgraded as I could not program the x gauges for the inverter temps. (Others with the same firmware had no problems so it may have been me.) I have not had any issues with the unit over the 5 or so years I've had it.
