been quiet lately, ran out of money after buying a towbar, CID screen and meriva surround/mount and an ipc from abroad, missed out on the navi950, just as well as i needed to replace one of the month old tyres the other day as i got a bloody thorn in it right where the tread curves to the sidewall... bloody strong thorns in wales.
You are right about the ipc locking if driven too much with a vin mismatch, opcom is showing 'odo lock' active now, swapped the original ipc back and mileage displays ok, not fussed as it's my test ipc from an insignia... my kph meriva one is sitting at my parents house waiting for me,
i got a copy of tis2web 32b, the last offline version, just covers my car nicely, and i spent a few nights reading all i could in it, and sure enough it says that after a certain distance with mismatched vins the ipc will lock, and even if the vin mismatch is subsequently fixed it'll need the tech 2 to remove the lock.... also read that the DPF regen is done on an algorithm, it says the differential pressure sensor is there for fault finding and dosent influence the DPF regen times!!!
this may just be the meriva B which has a single sample pipe sensor, so now i know why it comes on at the most awkward times... why can't there be a button to press when it wants to do a regen, that tells it 'i'm stuck in traffic in town right now, try doing a regen later'
Been wondering if to get a vcx nano.. MDI alternative to use with tis2web, but i've read they only allow online SPS, and i want to do it all offline, it seems my meriva being a 2011 model might just miss all that VCI nonsense.
