My DME is on zb number 7848137, how do I correlate this to a software version?

Thanks
K+DCAN cable can brick/corrupt control units if you try to program with them.

A tuning cable is specifically designed for flashing and programming control units, and does not bear this risk. It also has recovery functionality if something happens - such as a dead battery, pulling the cable out accidentally, etc..

7848137 is 240E software, so you're on the latest version. Hope this helps
