Thanks Marty E - for the cable information - "Now Let's Learn The Process"

I would recommend that OGR Members, watch this YouTube video, from Marc’s O Scale Trains.  As of today’s date this is the best video to watch to learn the process.

In this 12 minute video Marc will teach us the process and he goes into great detail about the cable for the Older Style TIU.

This is a excellent review video along with helping out first timers to the MTH-DCS Upgrade Process.  Marc is doing the 5.0 upgrade, but the process is the same for 6.0.  Just follow the computer prompts.  He also has several excellent tips.

Today I updated 10 TIU's and 11 remotes. Fast, easy used my Dell Laptop. Was a combination of the older TIU's and TIU's with Rev L.

On one of units, it had never been upgraded. Was amazed that the upgrade was simple. Now the owner can purchase the WiFi unit and Application.

Good day to do it since NASCAR was rained out

 

Help, I am issues with upgrading to 6.0, I have both Rev I and Rev L TIU's that I just recently updated to 5.0. I can get the 5.0 loader to see the units when I go to options and click on Serial port and click out, I get the pop up and it will find the TIU. When I go to load the 6.0 it gives me the time out message.  Warning: the program is having a hard time finding a TIU connected. Confirm that all the connections are correct and cycle power on the TIU. I have tried to update both the TIU's to no avail. any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciate, I have call MTH several times with no resolve. 

Thanks for the response, I never did get one from MTH. I had already tried what you had mentioned and no Bueno. So I tried another usb port on the laptop which I had already tried before and it worked, DAM PFM! Then I was able to do one of the two DCS remotes I have but the other would not work. Now since I have two TIU's the older TIU which is serial, I couldn't get the usb to serial to work on that but I would give it another go. Well more PFM and the other remote also upgraded to 6.0. So again thanks for the reply I do appreciate it.
