For those of you using a switched cable, when do you turn it on? Before or after you start the car? The reason I ask is that all the CELs I have heard of occur immediately when turning on the car.

This made me think that if you started the car first and then enabled the Range device it might stop the CEL problem.

I have tried switching mine on...located on the drivers side floor...before and after starting my Z06....no difference...always works perfectly.

Even switchedon while driving...no problems.

The directions tell you to turn it on before and off after to avoid programming conflicts.

Thanks, I did see that, but then they say you can plug it in hot to clear any codes. That's what started me thinking plugging it in (or turning it on) hot might be the way to go.

A mute point anyway here in MinneSnowta.

What is the current(latest) version on the units being shipped to customers?

I got mine 3 weeks ago directly from Range and I received v7.8rx

8SPD Z51

People are still having issues with that version and 8.1 is currently being tested in the field.

Oh oh! With afm range disabler active I now get stuck in fourth gear and have the check engine light on.
Removed it and thank the devil it is back to normal. I guess my original post is mute at this point.
Don't want a go cart. I prefer my vette.

WhiteDiamond!

Range has stated this is the most current version.

WhiteDiamond!

Oh **** this just happened? Others have also stated that it worked for them a couple of weeks then failed.

joemessman

Spoke to soon. Check engine light city! Stuck in 4th gear also. How do you like those apples?

WhiteDiamond!

Are you running that 7.8 version?

joemessman

Don't have a clue. How would I know?

WhiteDiamond!

Check your invoice if you still have it, Its printed on one of the lines. It will say something like version#

joemessman

I bought mine from a forum member. Don't have paper work. I guess I could send it to Range and have them update the firmware.

WhiteDiamond!

They do have a QR bar code on the under side of it. Try scanning it with your phone and see what happens. That might bring the version number up who knows, worth the try.

SpeedUp

Did you get the box it came in? Mine had the sticker showing the firmware version

WhiteDiamond!

Yes it is on the box along with the Mfg date.

joemessman

I don't have the original box.
