    I know we are on 4.6.2, but different builds. We are testing a build that we hope will be good enough. So far the drive line issue is gone..

    Hello Mark, do you have a time frame when you expect to release the new update to fix the drive line issue?
    Thanks.

    Mark,
    The driveline is now working, however, I am having a couple of issues:
    -when in areas of roaming or poor service, the system lags and keeps me on driving even though I was not and I cannot change it.
    -when I am in traffic, the drive switches to on duty
    -i have two violations already because of those errors

    Roaming or Poor Cell Service has nothing to do with the logs. The ELD-50 and DC 200 do draw GPS. The data to change status comes from your ECM port. I would disconnect the ECM connecter, wait 10 seconds, then reconnect.

    Then ELD-50 and DC 200 do buffer 48 hours of data.

    What kind of Truck?
    6 pin or 9 pin?
    Adapter Cable used?

    Now the ELD system is set up so that if no truck movement for 30 seconds while on drive line, it starts a 5 min counter. If no movement in those 5 minutes it will drop you to the On Duty Line. This is build into the specs. Nothing can do about that.

    If you need your logs corrected up to the last two weeks, call Customer Service, they will need the Date/change of status/change of status time.

    Adapter Cable was purchased but has not been used. Will it make a difference?

    Is your ecm port rectangular ? If so you will need to purchase a spider cable . This hooks to your fuse panel. Connectors are there.

    4.6.1 is dead!

    Long live 4.6.2!

    (Lol, we'll see how long this one holds up.)

    Took a few days off and now I see 4.6.2 hot patch is available for down-load. Any feedback on performance from those who have updated ?

    So far it's been dropping connection MORE frequently.

    But I've been running around Manhattan for 3 days straight so it could be interference from buildings, competing signals, or just vibrations messing with the hardware. (There are potholes that can swallow a Hyundai WHOLE!)

    I'll give it a few days out in "the country" before I get harsh.
