Most shops have the firmware updater if they are a tuning center and should be able to hook you up..The firmware updater is sold through dynojet or comes with the ignition module.If you are in our neighborhood,stop by the shop & i'll do it for free.Or send us your unit & we can upload the latest firmware & ship it back to you.

you need the programmer and the firmware cd.

the usb from your computer connects to the programmer, which then plugs into your expansion port, and must be powered with a 9V battery. Bike ignition/power must be off and not running. Follow the instructions on the DJ cd, then it'll ask you to pull the usb cable that is attached to the programmer and directly plug into the PCIIIUSB. Once it says "firmware update complete" pull out the programmer and the usb cable. done!

If the firmware is version 1.0.0.20 then you can update the firware without using the programer. Versions 1.0.0.19 require the programer.

I don't remember the date of change to 1.0.0.20 but it has been a couple of years.

I'm also willing to update the firmware for free if anyone needs it. The programmer is about $50

Does anyone now if the PCIIIUSB software is compliant with Windows Vista?
I purchased mine last year with XPPro. Haven't tried it on Vista.
