Hi Folks,

Sorry to hijack an old thread, but I wanted to make sure the right people got visibility of this.

I stupidly coded a new VO to my car (CAS and NFRM modules) yesterday with a low battery (yes.. I know!), however I did not modify any of the parameters on the FRM3, so it hasn't reset.

So far, the FRM3 is still working with no issues.

However, what I'm concerned about is when I change my battery, it'll brick the FRM3 as the module hasn't rebooted yet and might try to boot from corrupt firmware.

Is there anything I can do to try and prevent this from happening, before I disconnect the battery? Perhaps write a new VO to the module or do an SG_CODERIEN with the engine running to maintain power and ensure no corrupt data gets written?

Unfortunately, I don't have a power supply.

Is this something that's possible or am I out of luck?

Really don't want to have to get anyone to re-flash it during this pandemic situation as the company in the UK which does it is about 100 miles away from me, and travelling is something we're not allowed to do right now...

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Luke
