^^ Awesome

Wonder how much longer to wait before purchasing until most of the glitches are fixed/corrected?

Unless you want to wait YEARS for Hondata to quit developing NEW functionality in the FlashPro and FlashPro Manager, there will continue to be software bugs. They obviously put more development effort on enhancements than they do on testing and bug fixes. If you just make sure to use the production version of FlashPro Manager, and avoid the beta versions, it is pretty safe at this point.

Hondata says that this can happen if the FlashPro's firmware is updated by one of the newer versions of FlashPro Manager then used with an older version of FlashPro Manager. Are you absolutely certain that your FlashPro was never connected to a newer version of FlashPro Manager (after 1.1.5.6), even by someone else?

I'm still using 1.1.5.6 myself, since I have no confidence in their beta versions, so I want to make sure I understand the risk.

yes I am quite sure that my flashpro was on 1.1.5.6 and i was using flashpro manager of 1.1.5.6

I had the flashpro since Feb of this year and have been flashing the ecu quite often.

Since I upgrade to 1.1.5.6, I have flashed my ecu many times. I know for sure that I didn't update to 1.1.6.X on my flashpro manager. If I did, it would update the flashpro to 1.1.6.X as well.

Anyways, I'm just glad that it got resolve and its back up and running. Sucks that I got a new battery thinking it was the cause. oh well, i would need a new battery eventually.

it was hell of a week thats for sure. I'm just glad I have a 2nd car to drive or else it would suck big time. Had to dip into the car mod fund but oh well. Turbo will come soon. haha
