    Default ECM upgrade failure

    Has anyone had the upgrade fail during installation? The shop was performing the upgrade when the message appeared saying upgrade failed. Now they can not start the 2013 RTS and BRP is closed for Good Friday.

    Reboot and try the upgrade a second time? Maybe just a computer power glitch?

    Char disliked the situation...
    I'm not too happy hearing that either.
    They have nobody to answer a real serious question; because they've shut down??

    I believe Flamingobabe was using a FaceBook euphamism...as in clicking the "Dislike" button due to your unfortunate circumstances.

    Default Update on the ECM failure

    the tech at the dealer won't give up and finally found the problem. One of the leads in the cable going between the Computer and the CAN AM had broken. He repaired the cable and was able to do the update. This was good because if I had to wait till next week, I would have had to had the wife drive 60 miles to pick me up and then back when the RT was repaired.

    Default excellent

    Sounds like you found a good dealer. A lot might have given up and left for the weekend.

    Outstanding! I hope you remembered the tech with a little gratuity. When they go out of their way on mine, I always do.

    I agree completely. I can't tell you how many times (yes I can 5) I have slipped a "Grant" or a nice gift card at one of our nice restaurants in the hands of my service tech when he busted his ass to go the second mile. Folks not only is it the "right thing to do", but it works wonders when you deal with these folks.

    The USB on the BUDS system are real sensitive, if you move the cable at all it can lose the connection.
