    So far it's always been both. Was it that 2.3 didn't work for you or you actually mucked up the updating? I'm running v2.4 production release also with no problems.

    1) uninstall the dashhawk program on the pc (Dashhawk V2). Just the program. Do not uninstall the USB drivers.
    2) install new program. No need to reboot since you didn't remove the USB drivers.
    3) run the program, connect Dashhawk, and hit the upgrade button. You're done.

    You might want to save your profile before updating so you don't have to redo that.

    They crank out a new beta version about every couple of weeks. Lately it's mainly been mpg monitoring stuff, deisel stuff, and some other car stuff. I think they just added yaw and steering angle for our cars ('07 and newer). For 2.4 they reduced the "sleep mode" power consumption a lot and associated wake up issues.

    What is interesting to me is the 60ft times. This is just a guess here, but I would think that the shorter the distance you travel, the more accurate your time would be for that distance. Which would lead me to believe that the 60ft time is probably the most accurate out of every piece of data there. With a 1.85 and 1.96 60ft, I would Imagine the 1/4 mile to be in the 12.9-13.2 range.

    I'm thinking it might be the opposite. Probably the biggest error factor would be wheel slip.

    You may be right, but without wheel slip, the further you travel, there is probably a greater margin of distance between your odometer and true 1/4 mile, than there is at just 60ft.

    Good point. Error in tire size mainly. I suppose your DH 1/4 mile times should get better as you wear your tires out :grin:.

    I wonder what our EVIC is calibrated for? On the LXs there is a 0.35" difference in diameter between the RSAs and the F1s.
