One of the problems Bob has is that his car is, like mine, a 4.2, so he has no way of testing the ADU on the 5.0 cars. It may be that you have encountered an issue with the update that is specific to the 5.0 cars. @MarkyUK is a knowledgeable early adopter of the ADU 5.0 version and reaching out to him may offer you some useful advice.

Just one thing - I am pretty sure you downloaded the correct (5.0 engine) version of the updater, yes?

That picture doesn't look like version 2.1.0.5.
What version indicates the startup screen?
I noticed that when errors are occurring, this is due to the ELM327 can't keep up with the request frequency of the device.

About the gallons (and other non-metric units), this is chosen otherwise there are too many variables for me to create an "EZ-update" file.
But you can always try to do it the less convenient way:
- install arduino IDE software
- install ESP32 in the arduino IDE (Additional Boards Manager)
- connect the device to your computer
- select the correct ESP32 board (Boards Manager) and COM port
- download the (not-EZ) Arduino code.
- change the code to your liking's (units)
- upload the code to the ESP32 board

All is explained in the PDF "Manual: software" downloadable from my website (see my signature)

can you make a printscreen? I can read the text ...

also what the first screen shows where it detects the device, can you show?

Can you make it out now?

Mine showed up last night! I've got very full work days today and tomorrow, so it'll probably be Saturday or Sunday before I get to all this. But I'm very excited to have coolant temp / warning indicators. :D

Thanks Barnsie I can read it.
It looks like it doesn't connect to the ESP32 in a correct way.
Looking at DGL's picture, he has Windows 10,
probably he has to re-download the drivers from this site (windows 10 universal) and install them again.
use a different USB (3.0) port may also help.

It should look like this: (I downloaded the firmware so using the same file)

At least, it is worth a try since it only takes a minute and costs nothing. One more thing eliminated from the troubleshooting.

I think for now I will stay with the way it is , am very happy just to look down and see temp. Would like to have the warning but can live without it for now.

Drivers are installed. See screen shot.

The 4.2 code will also work on 5.0 cars.
and 5.0 code also works on a 4.2 car (until you request a screen that should display oil level, you'll get an error)

strange ... I see "access denied".

Can you check:
- what does the 1st cmd screen show?
- in device manager the COM port of the device (it should show COM3)
- disable bluetooth on your laptop (often seen as a COM port)
- try right-click the firmware.bat file and select "run as administrator".

Disabled bluetooth, ran as user and as admin still did not update.

ok so COM3 is correct.
things that might cause the problem:
- you installed the X64 drivers and you have a X32 computer,
- the esptool.exe file is corrupt: re-download the firmware
- the esptool.exe comes from my computer (X64) an is not suitable for X32 computers.
- you don't have administrator rights on the laptop (very unlikely this causes the problem)

other solutions possible
- ~~disable bluetooth on laptop~~
- use a different USB port
- use a different USB cable
- use a different computer
- connect the existing USB cable to a power supply (or computer, providing extra power)

Screen shot from device manager showing bluetooth off and device recognizing COM3:

I have an 64bit surface pro 6. I downloaded the firmware twice. However, it gave be a warning of possible virus and I proceeded. I will try again...

Continue with a list:
- remove the ESP32 from the device and flash it from there
- the ESP32 is defective ( a different computer should verify this)

- surface pro ... that's tablet right? maybe that's the problem.

I'll try on another laptop laptop

I downloaded the update again, but I don't see the .bat file. I opened the folders.

Need to wait to get the password from the wife. I'll keep trying on my surface pro 6

on the other laptop? And did Windows see it as a virus and quarantined it ....?

- ok lets wait for that

surface pro is Microsoft's laptop/tablet running windows 10 (PC)

at the back of the device where the display is sticking out, just above that push the black bar with a small screwdriver, the lid can be taken off,
then remove the electronics (not fully - the USB cable prevents this) , flip it over and you can take off the ESP32 by pulling it away from the electronics pcb (mind the orientation when putting it back again)

But first try the other laptop...

Because the "firmware.bat" file was vanished, I think your sufrace pro treats it like a virus, thus not working properly.
In Windows Defender you could allow the bat file from doing it's thing.
But let's see what the other laptop does.

or, copy and paste the below code into notepad, save it as a BAT file in the same folder next to the firmware bat file and try to run that.
it's the same as the firmware.bat file but will cause a slower upload to the ESP32 (maybe speed is a problem)

If windows defender is interfering I can turn it off to see if that helps. Would this help?

FWIW I also got a warning that the file was a virus or trojan. Knowing that it isn't, I clicked through and ran it anyway and it worked fine. In the past I have had to disable all anti-virus protection in order to run some stuff similar to Bob's program. It's worth a try as it is easy, free and 100% reversible if it doesn't do the trick.

Also, are you running the firmware,bat file from inside the ZIP? Bob said this was a no-no and the ZIP should be unzipped to a folder and the batch file run from there. Just random thoughts. Apologies if you have tried these things already.

The error message means you have invalid paths in the path environment - for example, folders which no longer exist. So the batch file is attempting to use a directory it cannot find. Check the full paths for logic and see if that yields a clue. Have you tried moving the ZIP file to the desktop, creating a new folder and then unzipping Bob's file into it? Then swap to that new folder and run the batch file directly from there. Again, apologies if you have already done all this.

Woo hoo...it worked on a different laptop. What is the reason for this? I'll like to use my surface pro 6 for updates.

Yay! Is the other laptop using the same hardware and OS software configuration and the same anti-virus software? Are there any obvious differences - eg you used a USB 2.0 port or a USB 3.0 port? Did you use a different USB cable as well or the same? Is the Windows version identical on both machines? Was your procedure any different on either machine - eg how and where you unzipped the .ZIP file? There could literally be hundreds of reasons. Short of doing a lot of detective work on the Surface Pro, the easy solution is to do the update on the alternative machine. It isn't likely to be something we will have to do repeatedly, I guess.

Glad you got it done in the end, regardless of how. So, have you installed the ADU in your car yet? :)

I think that is the best in-situ photograph yet. Bob should use this photo in his marketing :) (Or at least on his user manual cover etc, with your permission of course).
