The auto-update from last night is what I'm describing in this thread. As mentioned in my first post, it requires a template update in order for it to work. The template file is the file that provides all the new language file and button icons that the new software needs. Usually running new software with old Template files is no big deal as you will only be missing a few text items or icons. But in this case, it was absolutely required for data display functionality because of the significant changes we made to the formate of the display screens.

In the future, if you do not want updates all you need to do is disable WIFI when launching the OF Manager. With the next version of OF Manager, you will be given the option to enable/disable auto updates. I will look into the feasibility of creating a message when a new Template is required. It's not very often. In this case, it was only required for realtime data displays. Core functionality (ECU read/writing) should not have been effected so there is no chance of a customer being stranded in any way.

Going forward, I will post update threads like this the day before the update is released to the public so that those overeas (several hours ahead of us) won't get the auto update before we have a chance to post info about the update. I understand the frustration of not knowing what is going on for several hours and then only reading about it on the forum later that evening (our morning).

Regards,
Shiv
