Vortech MP40W ES Firmware Upgrade to 1.6

Ok, rather than start a new thread, I thought I'd ressurect this one since it deals with essentially the same topic.

Anyone in the North/Central Okanagan have an MP40W ES driver with the latest firmware (1.6) which improves the night mode setting? I'd like to flash my driver without having to travel too far or mail it in. Thanks in advance.

Just returned to Vernon from a trip to the coast which included a visit to J&L. Perhaps it was because of the long weekend, but the three folks in the shop had no idea what I was talking about with regards to flashing the VorTech controller with the Gen 2 firmware upgrade. So it's back in the tank purring away with the original firmware. I'd have thought that since they sell the product, they'd be up to speed with this kind of stuff....

If anyone in the lower mainland needs to do this J&L has one with the 1.6 firmware on their tank in the back and I just flashed mine from it yesterday.
