Well, everything still works and I lost one slot in my programming limit due to the VIN error... I still have nine left, so I guess it is okay... Both programs took (the error and then corrected one)...

HOWEVER, the EGS did not get updated and I am still in NON-SPORT mode for the transmission, getting the failsafe right away...

So, my next idea is to plug the mechatronic into the vehicle and copy all the settings from it... Then code the new one with those settings... IF that doesn't work, I'm getting the ICOM set-up and go from there...

Sooooo, that is where I'm at thus far... I'll let yous know!!!

Cheers!!!
