Update for Boston/NE area guys:

Got my ICOM working with INPA & NCSExpert today. Haven't tried Winkfp yet but it should work if the other 2 do. Also got SSS working with the ICOM but haven't figured out how to make DIS work with it. Probably don't even need DIS since I have ISTA on another machine anyway.

Still waiting on my power supply so we can do this safely and UPS claims it's out for delivery today. I won't really be around this weekend but i'll email you guys once I get everything else squared away. Beantown M5 can you PM me your email or post it here?

Thanks!

- Adam

Why does my damn winkfp freeze at 94% when importing assembly line data? Running winxp on my laptop. Winkfp 5.1.6

Ok looks installed. Just wasn't patient enough! I'm gonna try to flash this weekend.

However as I have done for others if you do get a failed flash you can remove the smg control unit and send it to me.

Can you PM me? I have two SMG TCU's that I would like to get programmed.

Programmed 3 SMG modules tonight for guys here. Did 2 2006's, and a 2008 with an ICOM. Worked flawlessly each time. Oddly enough the 2008 seemed to take less time to flash than the 2006's.

South Florida flash?

I want the Euro SMG flash done soooo bad but I travel every week for work and can't find the time to pull it out, ship it off to Vodyk, and more importantly be home to receive the unit when he ships it back. I am lucky to be home for an entire weekend, let alone a weekday, and when I am here, I need to drive it.
Does anyone know of a board member or another resource in South Florida that can flash the SMG of my 2006 beast?
I would even drive as far as Tampa or Orlando to have it done.
