I am trying to change my splash screen on my edge and it is not letting me I get as far as uploading it and when I click upload it and it is giving me a run time error 8018. operation only valid when port is open. What am I doing wrong. I even tried upload the screens they give you. Do most people adjust there settings on the computer or in the truck? I saw that custom options editor allows you set all of your settings or should I not touch that? Thanks.

 

did you reset your truck to stock b4 pluging it in you computer?

 

am i suppose to?

 

I got the same msg. last week after update!!!

 

I just got my mine last week so it should have the latest update...maybe we are the only ones?

 

Did an update on mine last week with no problem.

 

where you able to change your splash screen? Everything else on mine worked fine?

 

yes you need to return the vehicle to stock b4 it will work

 

I didn't try.

 

that may very well have been my problem.

 

If you didn't return it to stock, than that was your problem.

 

So you are saying that as a general rule, you should reset the computer back to "stock settings", before you unplug it for updates. Is this listed in the owners manual, or based on real-world experiences. I am getting my Edge tomorrow and want to know upfront.

 

No, you can't update it without returning it to stock.

 

How do you verify if updates are available for your edge? I am supposed to get mine today, but don't know how long it has been siting on the shelf @ some warehouse. Since it is fairly new product, (and it is electrical), things have probably changed since original release. I know I need to read the owners manual, but since most of you have been using these for a while, what does experience bring, any know gotcha's.

 

The latest update came out in June, so chances are the unit will need to be updated when you get it.
