I have been advised that the above link pertains to "Faultmate MV2".
Odd that a newer system did not incorporate thye same capabilities

The squeaky wheel approach works really well with BBS,

Sorry Paul, I have always regarded you as a friend, and as such have not posted on this thread until now, but i have to disagree.

In consideration of the involvement and participation i have personally had on this board and the vast amount of effort that many members here will remember and appreciate that BBS has freely put into improving the nanocom in respect of hardware and software, freely adding Autobox and SRS for the Disco II and adding the option to cover the V8 Motronic ECU, debugging the bejesus out of it and even to the degree of asking for suggestions, all without raising the cost by a single Cent, i feel this comment that insinuates we need bullying and pressuring by any means to be entirely unwarranted and totally insulting to me and BBS.

I think you are being overly sensitive Colin, and are most definitely misreading "squeaky wheel" if you think that means I'm advocating bullying and pressuring. I'd hardly be recommending users who were interested in Cruise Control Module support send BBS support a nice email requesting a feature be added if that were the case, would I? Nor would I be writing posts like this one in the EDS Forum: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/showthread...29#post1817429

That said on some issues BBS support has a tendency to fall into a default "not our problem" mode. As an example the issues some users have had with Td5 map uploading falls into that category, and it took considerable effort to convince you that was something that needed to be looked at. I classify that as "requiring the squeaky wheel treatment" as that problem had to be repeatedly raised before it was even looked at.

cheers
Paul
