Smarty update questions

[robmints]

1. Do I need to return the truck to stock before I update the Smarty for a different torque management?



2. The directions say to pick a file and click send. But there are two files, an A36. 7z and a A47. 7z. Which one do I pick? If I need to do both will the download program automaticlly find the other? If i need to do both, which one should I pick first?



Sorry for the dumb questions but the instructions are not very clear and I think I have seen the answers but could not find then with a search.



Thanks for the help.

1. No
2. Use the 47, notice the year spread, it is a size thing

If you look on the outside of your case, there should be a label with the software version it was shipped with. That should also have a 36 or 47 in it. I was told to use the same series.

One is for the 03-06 and one is for the 04-07(?), or something like that.



Someone with web-authoring experience needs to offer up some help to Marco and get more informative and easy to follow information on their site. A customer should not have to go search through this forum or that forum for instructions or information such as that.

The Smarty USB program won't upload any file that is a . 7z, that is a compressed file, first you have to unzip it with 7 zip. Then it will extract it and it will be called . smt, then you can upload the . smt file to the Smarty.

I certainly agree with JThiessen above. The directions are extremely confusing. I am having difficulties in loading the driver for the Smanty. Does anyone know anthing about more percise instructions mentioned previously?

E-mail or call Bob Wagner. He has helped me a lot.

If you read the mads site FAQ, it explains everything very well, having said that, I had to read it three times to fully understand it. There is also a set of instructions you can download.

I fiddled with it off and on over 2 or 3 months, then by dumb luck I got everything unzipped and loaded a new program on Smarty. Now I can load any of the programs, but if I had to set it up again with all the stuff, not sure if it wouldnt take another 2 or 3 months!!

Question:



My Smarty case indicates that it was shipped with SW: 2003-06 so I will download the files that end in A36, correct?



Next Q, My original software was V. 406D 2. 08A. Does the (2. 08) mean it is "Mild" torque management?



Last Q, Why would there be two different software versions for the S-06?

Thanks in advance

I think you can use either. But not sure.

Next Q, My original software was V. 406D 2. 08A. Does the (2. 08) mean it is "Mild" torque management?

Yes.

Last Q, Why would there be two different software versions for the S-06?

Thanks in advance

a36 is 2003-2006 and a47 is 2004-2007





That is the way I understand it. But I don't see any reason you could not use the a47.

 

[Bob Wagner]

The 2003-2006 and 2004-2007 are the same in both for the 04-05 trucks.



There is not enough physical memory within the smaryu (440+ softwares) to be able to handle all the 2003-2007 trucks.



But the S06 smarty can handle either batch 03-06 or 04-07 on at a time.





The smarty junior (3 softwares vs. 9 ) can go 2003-2007



I hope this is clear as mud :-laf



Thanks for your support

I have one more Q Bob,



Do Smarty's come with mild torque management when purchased? I replaced version V:4. 06D D:2. 08A with the above and I assume they are both mild torque management, is this correct? Thanks again for you help...

 

[Bob Wagner]

Yes, You are correct.

Ahh, I was wondering why it wasnt just a blanket covering of 2003-2007 and why there was 2... now I know. Thanks

 

[Heavyweight]

Smarty S-06A Ver. 4. 10C, Data: 2. 09A

Mild torque management increase

Years: 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006

(standard Smarty software)



I did not want to assume, but this is pretty clear... Thanks Bob.
