but, I am also a software engineer, so I know the risks better than most


edit for clarification: dimsport's fault - not eurocharged! though I am kicking myself for paying for 2-day shipping on something that wont work for a few more days
So am I, and every day it's wah wah wah we want it now. Ok here, you want it so bad. Wah wah wah it doesn't work the way we wanted it to.

I'm in the same boat as you guys. My handheld came in today, but can't flash the car...yet.

The good thing is that it's winter, so I can hold off my Hooniganism for a while.

My beef is with dimsport too. Eurocharged has been more than helpful since I purchased the unit.

Well it's 7:15am here and 2:15pm in Italy. I just tried and I'm receiving the same error. I really thought the update would be ready now. I'm sure they'll be shutting down for the day in a few hours.

This is so frustrating...

Hmm I am getting a different error message myself:

Error with Genius
[E034005] Genius Error: Unknown Error

Someone mentioned this error in the below topic but no solution is reported except for Jery from OETuning seems to have fixed that issue..

I just received an email from Dimsport that they released the fix about 10 minutes ago.

I tested it on 2 devices I have here and it's working properly again.


Enjoy!

Sorry, please wait another 2 hours before trying again.

I was informed that the test was for me and that the ABL's / update files are syncing. This means that you will receive random errors until the database is fully up to date.

Thanks!

It uploaded 1 tune and won't let me load any others. It shows "the status of your my genius does not permit this action". This message appears next to the upload button, which is grayed out.

When I plug the genius up to my car, the tune is not listed on it anywhere. What gives?!
