BUDS2 Cluster Updates

[bikerchris1270]

I haven’t found the guide book for dummies yet, but if you’ve ever used diagnostic software before it’s fairly easy to use. At least for me so far. I have found that there are a few things that are unique to it, had to cycle the power after updating the TCM and you have to have the male to male USB cable apparently. I’m sure I’ll find more. But I don’t have any dealer support and do all my own maintenance plus I work on some for friends, so that’s how we justified it.

I too recently purchased BUDS 2 and a new laptop to run it......so far so good. I like being able to work on my own stuff. The information from this forum has provided excellent information. There are alot of smart folks out there.:clap:

lugnut, would your license cover turning off the DESS module? If so I would gladly let you make some money on your investment.

No, as much as I wanted to purchase the megatech license, I could not justify the extreme cost. But now that I have this license, I could upgrade at anytime. I’ve also heard that they may let you purchase a 1 month license for that, but I’m not sure about that.

What exactly is this update suppose to cover/change??

I'm not exactly sure yet, but a lot of the other updates I've been able to do on the ECM, TCM, etc... stated they were optional. The update for the cluster states mandatory. I like keeping things up to date anyway, surely there are some improvements included. My wife's cluster firmware is at a 10, the update gets it up to a 20.
