Aussie + PG

When I dropped my vehicle off for the recode I already had the new controller installed (the -311 unit). If I am reading Aussie's post correctly the fact that the new unit was already installed may have prevented the SW update from being completed correctly, thus my -311 not working.

What would the solution to this be? Would I have the SW update installed with the original controller, then once back at my home, install the newer controller?

Also, I posted the following question in the other thread relating to this (would a merge make sense for these 2 threads), but how exactly do I go about checking my vehicles software version. What do I need to purchase?

Thanks for the info PG and Aussie!
