@Sparticus posted:Guys, I think I'm in a post that's on topic? Correct me if I need to post somewhere else. I have a TIU/remote and a couple of AIU's I inherited from my late father-- they were purchased new in 2002, and as far as I know, have never been upgraded-- they've been in storage since 2004. They seem to be working, but I'm not sure how to figure out what firmware is installed on them-- when booted up, the remote says version 2.00, copywrite 2002, so is that the firmware version? A few questions related to that-- should I, and if so, HOW should I, attempt to upgrade these? Do I similarly need to upgrade the AIU's? And lastly, GGG rebuilt one of my father's old MTH locomotives and in-process upgraded it to PS 3.0-- but I now don't seem to be able to add it to this DCS version (I'm not surprised). Any help or direction-setting here would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Shout out to Train World @KenJrTW for making these videos. They will guide you through the whole process:
Connecting the TIU for upgrading the Firmware: YOUTUBE LINK
Installing the MTH DCS Consumer Loader program: YOUTUBE LINK
Uploading Firmware to your DCS Remote: YOUTUBE LINK
This video is not produced by Train World but gives a good overview of how to update the Firmware on the TIU: YOUTUBE LINK
The AUI doesn't need any firmware updates, The Remote and TIU are upgraded through separate processes using the DCS Loader program.
