does firmware affect this detector? ************** update: emailed beltronics and received the following reply "There have been no required updates released for the Vector 940. " Thanks for all your answers.

I have an extended warranty on this detector and have never been notified of any firmware updates. I did have the unit serviced once and Beltronics support is top of the line.

The only time I was able to upgrade the firmware was during the initial setup,since then, I think it checks on it's on and "alerts" you an upgrade is available.Mine updated once on its own after I said it was allowed. Hope this may help you.

Question for you: Have you contacted BOSS Tech Support about getting an updated MapMicroSD card yet? There is a known issue with the factory sent card and they are sending out updated Map SD card at no charge. I am still waiting for my replacement to arrive but maybe it gives an ealier warning to upcoming turns. I am hoping so at least as I too saw the same late warning you are describing.

No. I contacted them and asked them to include it in a firmware update, but nothing yet.

I use the VF-3 with my EPM-2 and needed no firmware update. I used it right out of the box.

The radio no longer shows the Firmware version directly on the radio by using key combinations while turning it on. I have the latest nightly build of CHIRP and that doesn't display it either. --- If you have any specific ways to identify it, I will be happy to help.

I have a xrs 9700 also, got tons of false signals. After buying the 9570 it does not give hardly any false signals but a added feature I found after getting it is that you can turn off each setting(i.e. spectra, pop, etc.) if you get a lot of false signals. The main reason I got this model though is the new ku band. It is not in the states yet(only in Europe) but it will be coming here and I already have a detector for it and won't have to upgrade then.

There's no information from Sabrent that identifies anything about a firmware update or an answer to your second question. I will get in touch with a Sabrent PR Representative to seek information.

I'm trying to find out the same thing. It's weird. Mine detects stations that are very faint yet misses some of the major ones with strong signals. So how do I get those major stations?!? Hello Creative Labs: You're missing some obvious features, so plus update so you'll really be the best.

I would not buy anything made by Beltronics. Their Vector model that I bought worked poorly for two months and died. Amazon gave me a partial refund because it had gone past the one month warranty. As I said at the time, I have owned several radar detectors in my life, all of which performed well for over 10 years. This was the first truly worthless product of this kind that I ever have bought.

If you could indulge this speculation, I think firmware updates, if any, could be handled over the internet. The reason for this guess stems from what I believe I learned about the iPhone app. I wondered if it would have to be plugged in to the unit via USB or streaming via bluetooth in order to function. This doesn't appear to be the case, because within the app (on demo mode) under SETTINGS &gt; SELECT PRODUCT, all products have placeholders for MAC Address, IP Address and Port. This evidence makes me think it's safe to assume that the app is able to interface via TCPIP over wifi (though the Pioneer unit would have to be connected to the LAN via its ethernet port). So it appears to be possible that the unit can do more than just accept internet radio signals over the ethernet port. I don't think it's too big a leap to assume that firmware updates can be handled this way rather than manually by USB drive or DVD-ROM. If anyone can confirm or disprove, please fire away.

I just got mine today, and it worked immediate on v2.0.1, but I upgraded to the latest version on the website as of 3/8/2015 (2.0.7) and it would no longer connect to my router.... it would say it was trying to connect but never would. I downloaded 2.0.1 which was what mine came to me on, and it worked correctly again on that version. I would say generally to anyone looking at this product, try it out of the box, and if it does everything you need it to do, then don't upgrade the firmware.

I use the sensor simultaneously for both the RMR391PA and the smaller EMR201 units. It sends signals to both very well. I use only channel #1 for both. I do not know about any other units; but there are several channels that can be programed with this unit. There might be several frequencies that it is capable of sending???

Spy Tec has mentioned back on the April 9th that they should have it for sale separately in about a week or so. http://forum.dashcamtalk.com/threads/marcus-1-or-3-anyone-got-them-in-stock-yet-shipping-to-usa.4886/#post-59201Post # 15 hereAlso be aware that the GPS looks like it will not function until you install the newer firmware do to be released soon.

As soon as you get the unit, take the cable (supplied) and plug it into a USB on your computer. Go to magellangps.com and poke around their support tab until you come across the firmware upgrade for whatever unit you want to buy. The current level on my 610 is 7.14. It's probably the same software for other devices in that class. Important: Once you start the firmware (flash) upgrade, don't disconnect for any reason or you'll "brick" your new Explorist and then you'll have to send it back to Magellan for repairs.

When you're a novice like myself, the one thing everyone should do is tweak the "sensitivity" in advanced settings for "Motion Detection", I stopped a sh.. load of unnecessary e-mail notifications. AND also (for new "owners of), you DO have to "continue anyway" and click on that when you get certificate security warnings. There's also a recent firmware update for (DCS-932L)to 2.01 - probably the same with other cameras.

HI,Robert! &gt; &gt; Could you tell me why do you return the Autel (AULMD801) MaxiDiag Scan Tool ? &gt; &gt; &gt; Best regards &gt; Juno &gt; &gt; ------------- End message ------------- &gt;Yes Juno, The Autel (AULMD801) MaxiDiag Scan Tool would not make a connection to my truck (1999 Chevy K1500), the connections were tight and the truck battery was fully charged as indicated in the troubleshooting section of the book. I used the software provided with the tool and it would not update or upgrade or any thing. Than I went to the website listed on the Autel case (provided) (www.auteltech.com) This tool was not listed on the Autel website. But look at this website who says: http://www.maxi-scan.com/maxisys/2-autel-maxidiag-pro-md801-MS006.html NOTICE: MD801 have stop production,and autel don't provide update for it right now, we suggest you to purchase the upgrade version/Substitute:Autel MD802. and here's some comments on this website: http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B005KXL5EC
