You might as well default code CAS first, and if that doesn't work then you can try taking the emulator out.

The 0311 build date will not cause issues with comfort access; at least it did not do so for me. I did not default code CAS after updating my build date though.
OK, thanks, I see how that works now. I plan to update my CIC eventually so I don't need an emulator.
