Can anybody please email me the latest firmware for the intravee, beta version if there is one.
Emailed Intravention earlier this morning but not had a reply yet. Would also need the software to send the firmware etc etc...
My email is Charlie [at] Hibbins [dot] org [dot] uk
Thanks very much

PM me if you haven't heard from them by Friday. I'm out of the country on business this week and the files are on my home PC
Found the files in my sent mail folder. Forwarded the mail to you which was rejected by your mailserver with an error that the message contained a virus, was spam, or sender blocked.
Based on that Intravention may have mailed you and got a similar result...
Either way, nothing anyone can do if your ISP is bouncing mails

Mine is running beta firmware and has been rock solid. You can only use Alpine AiNet modules on it and the KCA-420i is the only supported iPod playback device

Can anyone take me through a idiots guide, 'step by step how to' on doing this. I've got all the parts and firmware gumph and just haven't got the computer skills knowledge to do it. I've tried atleast 10 times and just havent got a clue what im doing.
Is it installed in the car and working? (ie just running with older firmware)
- If not, install it first as it needs to be wired up to do the upgrades.
Have you got a USB to Serial Cable for your PC?
If Yes, Have you connected it to the PC and loaded all the right drivers (this will happen automatically if connected to the Internet)
If No, you'll need to get one which you can do HERE
- This cable is the one Intravention recommend. Others are available, you want one with an FTDI chipset
Have you got the Intravee utility to load the firmware onto it?

Yes I have the intravee all wired up been using it for two years no problems just want the extra features. Got the cable tried connecting it up etc but this is where I get lost. Dont know how to get the firmware into the intravee. Really havent got a clue.

you need the downloader software from www.intravention.co.uk
the first one I tried didnt work and had to tweek something on the laptop settings wise to get it to recognise the usb lead I was using.
when it right, you will see the software screen flood with ibus messages and then you just follow the instructions, its really simple from that point. Getting the laptop and intravee to connect and see each other was the hardest part for me
Ok. In that case you need to find the port number that the pc has issued the serial cable. It will be com1 com2 etc and you'll need to set that in the Intravention downloader software. Think of this as the door number in a street. Get it wrong and the software is talking to the wrong place. Look in device manager and you'll see com ports In the list. You can expand the list and see any installed
The other thing is if you see gibberish on the screen, then the settings of the com port are probably wrong. You can check these by right clicking on the com port, click properties and then you'll see speed etc. the safest best is 9600bps, no parity, 8 bits
If you're lost, I'll take some screenshots from my laptop and post them up later on. I'm on Tapatalk right now

Cheers for that. Pics would be good. I'll try again this week, when I've got a minute.
