Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Does anybody know if the new software is out for the ROAD RELAY unit for '01 and '02 ISBs?
I asked Cummins themselves at their website and all I got back was a marketing email telling me all about the Road Relay. They never did address my question. They promised it July '02 so... . is it out?

CUMMINS NEW ROADRELAY 4 ON-BOARD COMPUTER
24-VALVE TURBO DIESEL Columbus, Indiana - 6/9/2000
COLUMBUS, Ind. (June 9, 2000) With Cummins, Inc. 's new
RoadRelay 4 on-board computer, available to the Dodge Ram market in
August, 2000, drivers will be able to know just how far they can push their
Cummins 24-valve turbo diesel engine powered Dodge Rams.
This in-cab, real-time system provides drivers with performance, maintenance,
safety, optional GPS, and routing information, and has previously been only
available to the trucking and motorhome markets.
"Because of RoadRelay's dramatic success with commercial trucks, we know it will
help Cummins 24-valve Ram owners, too," said Cummins Ann-Kristin de Verdier,
director, engine data information systems. "By giving our customers the inside
scoop on their engine, they'll get useful data to help them run hard and get the
best performance from their engines. "
The Cummins RoadRelay 4 is mounted on the floor, on or under the dash, and
has a bright, easy-to-read, digital screen. For performance-minded drivers, the
system offers instantaneous, digital read-outs of engine load, fuel economy, fuel
rate, fault tables, coolant temperature, oil and boost pressures, battery voltage,
vehicle speed, RPM, and more. The information lets drivers know just how hard
they're driving, and how much further they can reach with their Cummins diesel
engine.
Cummins RoadRelay 4 for Dodge Ram
When travel times, distances, routes and exact locations are of
greatest importance, drivers can access a wealth of information,
including trip time, distance, and fuel consumption. The
computer even provides an estimated time of arrival, a real-time
clock and alarm clock. RoadRelay 4 also offers a GPS model
that, in addition to all other functions, provides heading, a mark
and go-to function as well as latitude and longitude, making their
truck even more ready to go anywhere.
Electronic systems monitor and reminder
With RoadRelay 4, Cummins leadership and innovations in
technology for the diesel industry make engine maintenance
more efficient than ever. For example, the on-board computer
has a maintenance monitor which can track up to four
preventive maintenance events, such as oil, tire, brake and fuel
filter changes. It also logs the services performed on the vehicle
so the owner can keep it in top shape. Cummins RoadRelay 4
offers warnings for over-speed and over-revving, and a gear
shift reminder, too.
Cummins, Inc. , headquartered in Columbus, Ind. , is
the world's largest producer of diesel engines above 200
horsepower. The company provides products and services for
customers in markets worldwide for engines, power generation
and filtration. In 1999, Cummins reported sales of $6. 6 billion.

RoadRelay is the window into today's electronic engine. It began in 1991 as an in-cab drivers aid showing "real time" time spent and fuel consumed at idle, PTO, in top gear, and cruise control for over-the-road trucks. It also, with a touch of a button, provides average MPG, trip mileage, overspeeding and much more. The goal was to assist the driver to improve vehicle operation and lower operating costs.
Today's RoadRelay does all that and has evolved into a device that provides business solutions. Today's device is compatible with satellite, national cellular carriers and short range radio frequency (SRRF) systems. This compatibility enables fleets to stay in touch with their drivers and keep track of their assets to maximize benefits. The latest feature/benefit of RoadRelay is Anti-theft. Combining the RoadRelay with the intelligence of the engine control module, Anti-theft can protect your vehicle from theft whether the vehicle is turned off or left idling.
