Texecom Flasher Interface CDH-0001

[Dazzajon]

Does anyone know if there are any cheaper third party devices compatible with the Texecom flasher interface? Or has some clever clogs come up with a way to upgrade the firmware without the flasher?

My Premier Elite is still on firmware version 2.10 so desperately needs upgrading but every time I look to buy the flasher kit I'm put off by the cost of it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some scrooge that just doesn't want to spend any money maintaining my system, it's just that I can't yet justify spending in the region of £40 - £50 for flasher kit which I will only use once.

Any suggestions on alternatives, gratefully received.

Check out eBay I’ve seen flashers for around £20 before or see if anybody local can flash it for you …. Depending where you live

I may or may not have a spare would have to check, could hire it out I suppose with a deposit as they arent cheap for what they are some folk have had mixed success with the cheap ebay ones.

someone on ebay did a flash up service for less but packaging could risk the pcb getting damaged not sure if that would be any cheaper

Any particular reasons you have for wanting to upgrade the firmware?, if it's working and all that

Can’t use a smart computer in a V2 other than that can’t see there being too much benefit, a few new options but nowt to shout about and after you get to V5 you can flas on the cloud. But if it’s a 48W then the built in wireless will be limited to the version of that expander…..

For app use, Texecom connect...requires v4 minimum, apart from that.....
