just got a new computer and running XP. i thought i remembered how to upload the new software onto the smarty but i guess i don't

I downloaded the zip file
i downloaded the new software
i unzipped the file
opened the smarty usb update
opened the unzipped file and hit send

now get a FTD2XX.DLL NOT FOUND ERROR!!

is it something i am doing or did i not get all the info off the MADS site to do the download.

 

You need to download and install the USB to Serial driver for the Smarty. The file and instructions to install the driver is on the Mads site. The driver zip is CDM_2.00.00.zip. The instructions are the file SmartyUSBdriver.

Post if you still have questions.

 

ok so i click the CDM file and it saves it to my desktop. how the heck do i open it now. !LOL!! SORRY FOR BEING DUMB RIGHT NOW!!

got it figured out. darn me brain aint a workin tonight. i so can't wait for christmas vacation!

THANK YOU DTR MEMBERS FOR YOUR HELP!!!

 

Right click on the zip file and unzip it into a new directory. Make sure you know the directory name. Then when you plug the Smarty into the USB port you should get prompted with New Hardware Found wizard. It will ask if Windows can search for software. Click NO, Not at this time, then click next.
Then click install from specifically location and click next. Then click search for best drivers in these locations, click include this location in search, then use browse button to find the directory that you unzipped the file into and click next. It may prompt with message not windows certified or something like that and give you option to install anyway. Click install anyway. It should install the driver and get to finish button.

If it does this then you can start the download program and it should work. If it does not do this then maybe other non compatible driver already loaded and needs to be removed first.

 

Ok, never mind my trying to remember the sequence above. It can get a little confusing sometimes.

 

for some reason, it did not want to load the driver. now it is loading and updating the smarty. it was the driver file throwin me for a loop. thanks for your help Ram and shortbed!! i appreciate it a TON.

 

Great, what version are you loading???

 

4.11 stock tq mgt. still running stock tranny so don't want to kill it til business picks up to have one built! LOL

 

our founding father of the sac club forgot to load the driver dont let this info get out

So "The Daddy" of the "Smarty Club " didn't know how to update a file on "HIS" own Smarty!!

oh darn it. should not have opened my mouth! I got a new laptop and thought i transfered everything over. this new technology got the best of me! Keep it on the down low!!

FWIW- new smarty version 4.11 is nice. i only have it on #1 too help my tranny live a bit longer but it pulls nice, low smoke and NO TIMING RATTLE!! YAHOO!!! The version 4.09b i had rattled like a 12 valve.

 

Not to take this off topic but I have a downloading question. I have the latest mild torque management download (S06V411BD211A47.7z) on the truck in level 5. I just downloaded the mod torque management (S06V411BD311A47.7z) to the smarty last night without putting the truck back to stock.

Will I have any issues with loading the moderate torque management level 5 on to the truck?
