I downgraded the APP version. I no longer receive the error message, but still can't update the firmware. Now the device start blinking red, but no progress is shown.

anyone?

I can't find the thread, but I think this is MAC related.

Try using a windows based computer and see if you run into the same issue.

Try bootcamp?

Although you'll still need a copy of a windows OS.

You can do what I did, I bought a new laptop dedicated to the garage. Nothing fancy. There are plenty of sub 200 dollar windows based laptops available on Amazon. IE: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Premium-P ... 2035945011

If your going to be working on the car enough, it is worth the investment. Otherwise you'll be stuck borrowing a laptop every time you need one. You could also buy a copy of windows and boot camp it. Not sure if that will cause any problems or not.

I have been able to resolve 98% of other systems issues with Parallels (the only item still not working is the AIM WIFI connection for data downloading).
I did try that last night, but, it didn't recognize the RC device.
I still have some more to try, but getting out of options quickly.

Glad you got it updated.

If you still have problems getting cellular to connect, add a thread to the telemetry section of the forum if you haven't yet. We'll help you there. Thanks!
