How to: Update Eurovox Max V with Kuro 18.04.08 (R.I.P 28/11/2008)

I'm not very clued up on computers i can just about turn it on my computer doesn't have a rs 232 connection and am trying to plug in to usb at front but it says no available com port reading bigjaspa to go in to device manager would this work for me and if so how do i do it remember the instructions need to be idiot proof

 

go back to page 1 the lads done a great job in explaining eveything

 

Make sure you have the correct NULL MODEM cable and adaptor check 1st page

1. Right click on "My Computer"
2. Select "Properties"
3. Click on the "Hardware" tab
4. Click on "Device Manager"
5. Click the + sign next to "Ports (COM & LPT)"
6. One of the listed ports should indicate which port your USB adapter is connected to (e.g. COM1, COM2, COM3, etc.)
7. Go back to your map software program that you use to transfer data and make sure it is looking at the correct port.
8. You should be able to transfer data once the correct port is selected

take your time

 

Thanks for that Karljd!

Also if you follow malci steps to asign the ports correctly you will be ready to go, Providing you have bought a NULL modem cable.!

 

where is the best ( well cheapest really) place to buy the null modem cable? i would also need the usb adapter.
thanks in advance

 

Yeah, sorted out the symbol rate and restored factory settings, worked a treat, it was such a rush of euphoria when I saw the picture come up first as I was at it for a whole day the day before.

I know its been said before but can I just emphasise that its a Null Modem Cable needed and not an RS323, they both look the exact same but there is a difference. Just posting this as I spent a day pulling my hair out wondering what was wrong when I was using the wrong cable all along. You lads are legends, keep up the good work!

 

Also same for me its up to SG8 (his post), but fine with me use whatever you need to help others Karljd. But SG8 the sig has to stay LOL!

I have the same setup on my Laptop as trishg & I can't change configuration in Device Manager. It only lists USB controllers & doesn't show anything for COM ports. I've purchased a USB adapter for my null modem cable but can't get it to work. I see trishg got it sorted, Any help or tips greatefully received. Cheers

Hi,

Have had my eurovox max V 2008 for 3 months and this is my first firmware upgrade. I followed SG8's advise and got myself a correct null modem serial lead from maplins (code L71BT). I have downloaded the flash loader and managed to upload my favourites (cfd) file to my computer. Sound so far! Then I clicked on download and got the message 'Version 2.10 detected' in a message box with a start button. I then clicked on start and I get a progress bar saying 'Sending...0%' and it has not moved on from this for the last 20 minutes. On the Eurovox it is flashing 'dnld' but it doesn't seem to be downloading. As fasr as I can make out, there is no problem with the lead or the com port as I have been able to upload my favourites file to my computer. Can't see a problem like this after searching the forum. Has anyone got any bright ideas please.

 

Hi lads,

I have a eurovox red box and the code changes are driving me mad!!
Is there software I can download to fix this problem.I am new to this so if anyone has instructions for my version I would appreciate it.

Thanks

 

Hi Guys,

Have followed the instructions and everything seems to be working UNTIL we get to the "Please wait, code being upadated...". Its been about 1 hour so far and nothing has changed. I have a Eurovox MaxV 2008 and im on Ch@rus (Lim3rick) The Box is Black in colour but im not sure what you mean by red or blue box, although the actual box it came in has a red dot (sticker) on it. Any ideas what i should do next?

 

Try "Update/Fixes" on BigMAQ toolbar. New firmware posted there which can be downloaded. You'll need to install toolbar first. I'm not sure as to whether it will cure code update prob

 

Look here the firmware is available for the red box,
http://www.freewebs.com/tempfix/eurovox.htm

When you downloaded the firmware on here it didnt work for chor*s as they was no firmware for chor*s at the time. now there is a new release which includes the fix for you area, linked below,
As SG8 has UPDATED on pg 1 http://www.mediafire.com/?dtmdycgdwqu So cena12 re download the new link and flash your box again!

Go into device manager,
Under ports (coms)press the + symbol
right click the com port you are using the click properties.
In port settings change the bit rate to the max, apply then exit.
Then try again!
