Hi everyone I just wanted to let you know that I have the cable for the Metra update for anyone who may need it. Thanks to camarogeek

who sent me the cable to pass it on to others. I will send it to the first person to pm me their address. You can pass it on to whoever needs it from there.

I commend you guys for starting this process! I think that it goes to show how strong the camaraderie on this site is!

I dont have a metra, but you guys should keep this thread going and post who has the cable at the current time. This way people know where its at and then someday camarogeek can get it back.

in2thefyr2001 · 04-27-2011, 08:09 PM

Yeah I thought about that. lol

Have you updated your interface box yet? If not I already have the software on my laptop. I can do it for you if need be

in2thefyr2001 · 05-01-2011, 07:54 AM

I already did it, thanks. But there's a new update already for the bootloader. I don't know if it effects the metra kit yet. I'll try it today.

Hey in2thefyr2001, sent you a PM. Hoping the cable can be passed on to me for an update. :-)

Wow deja vu. I went through this same exact scenario with my Mazda RX-8.

I would definitely make sure it's updated before you install. I made the mistake of not checking, and now I've gotta take it all back out when I get the cable from in2thefyr2001. I mean, it's not a huge deal to take it back out, but it would've been less of a headache to make sure it was updated ahead of time.

My only issue with the Metra is the outside temperature is anywhere from 6-7 degrees different that what the car/HUD says. I read on Axxess's site that there is an update that fixes that bug. Good luck!

camaro2lt · 07-19-2011, 04:42 PM

can we call metra too get the update?

I just got my kit in the mail today and the serial number ends in B20 is that the most up to date software?

I'm not sure that there is a way to tell, other than plugging it into the update software with the cable. I could be wrong though. Anybody know this for sure?
