I'll have a play and get back.

Excellent, thanks for having a look for us. It's much appreciated.

I just forked out the half a grand to get my own today.:(

Can't wait until it arrives though. Will have a good excuse to disapear to the shed for a while:D

I doubt very much that you'll be disappointed.
The range of things that can be done with this device is truly amazing for the outlay.

If, like me, there is no LR dealer, even an independent, within 3 hours' drive this device can save you a heap of time and dollars troubleshooting issues your car may have.

Today I programmed a second key that had lost its association with the vehicle, turned off Single Point Entry (SPE within the Valeo BCU menu) so that all of the doors unlock with one button press, reset the EKA access code, and last week I reset the Auto's Adaptive Values that it had learned as the previous owner used to tow with it. All that in just an hour or so.

Admittedly the lack of documentation that comes with the device can make it frustrating to use. I have decided that it is worth revisiting the relevant sections in the Workshop Manual/RAVE cd in order to learn a bit more about the functions of the various ECUs in the vehicle.

If you haven't got the cd yet I can't recommend it highly enough.

One day we'll get a thread started that is a "How do I make the Nanocom do this?" affair. For example, I tried t fumble my way through the key fob programming without any reference to the literature on the web - unsuccessfully. After looking on a forum this morning I had a step-by-step breakdown of how to do it and it was actually pretty easy once the steps are done in the correct sequence.

Feel free to PM with any queries but bear in mind that there are now large numbers of Nanocoms out there in use so the collective wisdom of the forum will probably get you answers in a more speedy fashion.

Tomorrow I plan to meddle with the shift interlock as I have no idea what it's about....best to look on RAVE first!

Some photos from the temperature alarm.
When activated in instrument mode there is a quiet buzzer and the below screen display.
The alarm setting is accessed from settings frame in the 5th window. Move the cursor to the end with your finger and use the delete? button to delete the old setting and type in a new value.
Save the setting using disk symbol

Thanks for the info but mine still doesnt work

There is a kernel upgrade for the Evo1 and 2 available now. For the Evo1 owners, make sure you do the file copy first as per instructions then apply the update.

Go to the downloads section and login with your details.

Hiya Guys

Only just noticed this thread.
So i apologize to be a bit slow in responding. But those in the know will appreciate we certainly have our hands full here with quite a lot of other stuff

The over temperature warning feature was not implimented or developed after BBS got involved with the Nanocom, so we have little to no practical knowledge of it's code or implimentation.

But unlike our countries government, who are currently playing the blame game on who was stupid enough to place 98 shipping containers full of decaying explosives right next to our countries main power station, which ultimately destroyed it, killing many, along with any possible chance of surviving the current economic recession.
:wasntme:

I prefer to take a leaf out of Obamas book and state that if anyone needs someone to blame, feel free blame me, as ultimately the buck stops here. :angel:

You gotta apreciate that guy sometimes.

So the bottom line is, whan does this feature work and when does it not.
We don't need moaning, as this is as much your product as mine and we all want the same result.

So we need clear facts and information.

I am thinking that it is likely that the same problem that affects Live Data gathering on the BBS V1.00 and is now fixed on BBSV1.01 might affect the temperature reading on which the over temperature alarm function is likely also based.

Can anyone confirm or dispute this theory ?

On my Evo 2 pre-firmware update the over-temperature alarm failed to trigger at 50, 75 and 95 degrees.

After the update I drove with the same 3 values entered and it still failed to trigger.

IIRC the tyre coefficient has not been changed from the default of 1.010.

I just installed the update and the over temp warning doesnt work but the live data is now working fine

Getting close

Thanks Djam, i wanted to test that a lot more before release but our re location made that almost impossible, but at least we are getting somewhere.

So as you already asked the million dollar question bell1975, why does Gregs work and not yours or others.

I will have it tested and looked at, but its a bit hard on the bench with no engine attached, i will have to hook up a variable resistor in place of the sensor, so it wont be a quick one.

Just one other thing with instrument mode Colin, the boost display now only shows one decimal point, not two as it originally did.
I am (was) using this as I'm fine-tuning my overboost setting after getting a remap for it, now I can't see accurately enough what the figure is for fine tuning. It makes it hard to see where in the 1.3-1.4 bar range you are beit 1.42b is overboost cutout.

Cheers

I have just upgraded my evo software with the kernel upgrade released a few days ago. I will go for a drive tomorrow and see if the alarm works now.

I don't get any functionality at present not even the red cross reported earlier.
