Got it yesterday. I would suggest reboot and restart FDRS when the update is complete. I didn’t and it crashed just before starting module update.

I’ve learned to always tick the box to delete user data every time I upgrade now. Saves a lot of pain.

On another note......those IOTA Engineering, 120Vdc to 12Vdc, 90A Converter/Charger are selling on Ebay for $179.

Here's the current link if you're interested.

I haven't had a chance to test mine due to the "hold" on powertrain updates, but supposedly the IOTA have a very clean output and at $198 (current price) it's a great deal compared to Schumacher and Clore (not as versatile, but also a 3rd of the price).
I paid $265 for my DLS a few months back as a reference.

The IOTA is kind of "dumb" so it relies on an phone jack plug in "configurator" (I think they call it an IQ module) if you want to use it as a "smart" charger.

IOTA recommended using the little jumper plug that came with the power supply, this will bring the voltage to 14.2V and effectively charge your battery.

I personally feel this is a bit sketchy considering the small size of our battery and I'd be concerned about overcharging it.

So I plan on leaving the jumper out / unplugged, which should leave the unit in power supply mode (what we want) and 13.6V (going by memory, might have been 13.2).

I'm not telling anyone what to do, you do your own research, just a heads up in case you end up getting one.

Also note that while you can get away with using the smaller DLS75, I think it comes with a 20A plug, vs. a 15A on the DLS-90 (kinda a-- backwards, but that's what their specs says anyway and mine (DLS90) have a 15A plug.)

1 Pedal Fault today.

That is the case as of right now...6 May 24.

This appeared in PTS/OASIS this morning:

Which essentially means...don't update your powertrain modules until we put out an updated set.

On another note......those IOTA Engineering, 120Vdc to 12Vdc, 90A Converter/Charger are selling on Ebay for $179. And the seller is saying something about this price ending on the 30th of April...but at the same time the seller says they have 5 left at this price at the time of this writing.

Here's the current link if you're interested.

It's a hellofalotcheaper than what Grainger wants for the Schumacher INC 100

Thank you Mike. Unfortunately I had updated the PCM 2ish weeks ago (before I knew about the stop) and it’s no doubt causing some issues on my end I think. Very much looking forward to the next PCM updates that hopefully fix this crap.

They're not showing for you yet. Feel free to remind me to check every now and then you know when to fire FDRS back up.

Thank you ! Btw I was able to restore the controls tab and drive modes. It was a bad value from the cameras at speed mod.

I have been doing a number of updates using FDRS over the last few days. I started to do the BCM and got this message. Why can't I update the Body Control Module?
Has anyone else seen this message? I could have sworn I updated BCM when I first started using FDRS.

That’s super weird. I just did BCM last weekend and got no such error.

I did BCM update about a week ago as well without that prompt. I hope this isn't something new they just implemented. I know they require that for PATS related things, but not standard FDRS module updates.

This just in:

....June is a bit further out than I expected the response to be though.....

Sucks for anyone that just bought a 2 day subscription

I have never seen that, but I have a dealer login. Try restarting the laptop.

Yeah, I hope not, I have a one year with about 6months left on it. I'm going to check again tomorrow. I will be contacting FDRS folks if it happens again.
