Update for you guys...I decided to make a call into the Vehicle Check Center (the guys at the MAC centers I believe work for the software developer for the new inspection system). Since I have already been flagged by the system for non communications to the DME, I didn't have really much to lose.

I was told in a round about way that the system matches your vin # to whatever software version was loaded on your vehicle at your last vehicle inspection; previous to the new system being installed.

They said I should be able to flash back to that exact software version (which Joe from TGS graciously helped me with last night), that I would be able to pass on my next go around.

If this is true (I will update this thread again once I get inspected again), this is a pretty invasive situation.
