    Default Trying to update V2 firmware

    I have followed all the tutorials and the posts found in the search fumction, but the problem I have is I cannot find the .ffw file anywhere. I even tried the find function in windows but nothing. I did not have to unzip anything as the download was a .exe file so there wasnt an unzip folder. I have windows vista home premium, if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance.

    You need to unzip the *.exe downloaded file (yes winzip will unzip it) and find the *.ffw in the unzipped folder. We should have made the *.ffw file installable - instead of leaving it stuck in the downloaded file. We'll fix that in the next release.

    Or use the file linked inthe above post.

    Thanks guys, got it to work. I thought I was going to be reduced to using the HPP III to change the gear ratio for the speedo after a gear change.

    Also, I dont know how to unzip an .exe file. WinZip is an embedded program and just comes up when double clicking on a zipped file. The file I downloaded went right to the install program when I double clicked it.

    Will be a "right click" option on the .EXE file.
