GLOBEGUARD - It Works!

[Tom D]

I was just informed by GLOBEGUARD that the service reset will be available this week.

The update is available now but I haven't tried it.

I hope this does actually work!!!

I'll try updating the GG in a minute when my phone is charged. it just died..

Unfortunately for me you can only upgrade the unit from a pc, which I don't have! They are working on a OSX app but that won't be available till the autumn. I'll have to borrow a pc to do the update. Worth knowing if you're an apple guy. Although if you buy a GG now it will already have the update...

Is great news, TPMS to come as well. By chance... is anyone from Switzerland or thereabouts intend to drop by Australia in the near future... GG postman must be flying first class.

Yes...it works. I've tried it to reset the service reminder.

Before reset it's "Time OVERDUE 2784 days"

After reset it's "REMAINING Time 365 days"

At what milage does the indicator kick on for you to perform service?

Maybe we should organise a group buy - get 10 ordered and it will be cheaper for someone to fly there and back to grab them

I don't remember but I think around 5000 km

What is the TPMS option to come? I would love a better TPMS system.

Tom, do you know if Globe Guard have tested recovery from inadvertent "premature" disconnection of the negative battery terminal and if so, whether there's a protocol to follow with the Globe guard in the event this happens? (I can imagine a well-meaning Roadside Assist tech. disconnecting the battery /batteries without checking the "sleep" condition....)

Thats how I created the codes in the video. after pulling fuses I wasn't sure that was enough so I disconnected the battery + and then reconnected it. it cleared everything.

Wonder if Parallels Desktop would allow you to use your Mac to update the device?

 

[Tom D]

I did wonder about that, but I'm too busy getting ready for Morocco just now. I'll look into it when I get back.

I can only imagine that Ineos will do an update to block whatever work around GG used to make this happen.

 

[Tom D]

Ineos and GG are in contact so hopefully that's unlikely. Ideally the GG will be officially endorsed...

That would be a BMW trick to protect their IP
