Flashing with DAS 11/05 and Patch 2005-11-22-0489

When installing DAS 11/05 on Compact 2 and Compact 3, the SDflash directory was incorrectly loaded onto the hard drive. This may cause older software to be flashed into the control unit.

The installation of the 2005-11-22-0489 patch fixes the SDflash directory and restores normal flashing function. This information was not contained on the 'Pink Note' that was enclosed with the 2005-11-22-0489 patch.

Please ensure that the patch (2005-11-22-0489) has been loaded onto DAS 11/05 before you flash any control module. If the patch (2005-11-22-0489) has not been loaded and you must flash a control unit, please ensure that DAS 11/05 DVD is in the DVD Drive and that you select flash from the DVD Media and not the hard drive.

Note:
This action is critical to ensure that the latest SW application is found and properly flashed to the ECU.
