I just recieved the Smarty 4.4 via email and was wanting to find out which version I need to download for my truck?/

S04 or S06, I have the 04 555, if its not a truck yr specific thing, what is the difference between the two?

Theres two different Smartys boss. Look on the box....mine was an S04 unit. When you plug the Smarty in, it should also come up on the screen.

how many files did you receive? when I got my beta there was one file to upload to the smarty

BossHogg

Well I had an email with links and files to download. I dont think I have the right driver installed, and Im having trouble figuring this out!

Anybody know, shoot I even tried to follow the instructions, but I hooked up my smarty before I turned the internet off, so it installed the driver in an unknown location.

Boss,
Contact TexasCTD, he or someone might be close enough to you and can help with the installation and downloading.

be sure it unzip it with a 7zip file i think. you can download it off the internet for free. i was having a hard time figuring it out until i did that and then it was smooth sailing

I feel your pain, Boss!

It took me over 6 hours of computer time spread out over a few weeks to get the Smarty updated so it would load on the '05 (SW that Smarty shipped with had a glitch).

Everything you need is on the Mads website, although it can be a challenge to figure out what to do when with the 7-zip tool, USB.exe and downloader (or is that compression?) utility.

Still not sure exactly how I did it - kept trying different things until XP decided to be friends with Marco's stuff... thanks to Bob for responding to so many emails! His product support was encouraging!

BossHogg

Well Im pretty sure I installed the driver right, but not sure if I even recieved the S04 4.4 program. Would this be on there site, or would he have to had sent it to me?

Thats where Im at now, I think I have the 7zip, but no file to enter when I open the Smarty exe file. Basically no smt. file!
...or am I missing something?

MikeyB

Bob asks what version number for the SMARTY before sending the beta file. Using the 7zip tool to un-archive the beta file to a local folder so the Smarty.exe can find the *.smt file.

BossHogg

Ah so I dont have it yet, thats what I thought~ He just sent the download and zip stuff, I guess now Im awaiting the SO4 4.4 to download to the actual smarty!



.....BOB????????? I NEED that file!! (j/jk)

XLR8R

I got hung up there too - you have to right click the SW file version you downloaded and select "extract to" with the .7z so it'll be converted to a .smt file extension.

Just keep clicking stuff - you'll get it!

BossHogg

oh so I have it, but just didnt extract right? Or does he still need to send a file?

or is the file on the mads website???

Im confused here?

BossHogg

Im still confused here, hopefully someone will chime in!

MikeyB

Bob will email you the beta file.
