    Default Lean cruise patch help

    So, I admit it, I am not the smartest brick in the bunch....
    Can someone give me a hand in getting the lean cruise patch attached to my 12212156 OS????? I have tried and tried, and for some reason, I just don't think it is right!!! Seems that the installation of this patch is shrouded in some sort of secrecy!!!
    Any help is appreciated!!!

    Got the .cax downloaded, put in the right directory, then enabled it in the tune? Full flash and you're set!

    Just like you said, but with about two hours of frustration in between..... and to think I thought I was pretty handy with computers...........
    Heck, I was even able to figure out how to apply it to COS 0202003!!!! I was pretty proud of myself!!!

    Look at it this way: you spent quality time with your car

    I wish that were the case, but I spent quality time with my work PC running Windows Vista, which reminds me, I hate vista!!!!

    The PC is a tool that you're using to work on your car.

    Yeah, I looked at Vista and it scared me off, I stayed with WinXP, and maybe one day I'll upgrade to Win7.

    You'll have to talk to Paul about that. On my laptop I run Win7 and Ubuntu 11, so I'm all set for testing.
    I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.
