That would be the best thing. The other option would be cross-shipping an updated axxess box while we send our old axxess box back in. I couldn't imagine being without the front panel piece. This is my DD and I don't want to have a big hole in my dash and no tunes for a couple of weeks, lol.

what was the other issue after the update? i just updated mine, i think, everything is working ok, i dont like how it does not say weather it is updated or not you just have to think it is, as for the cable they sent me one with a return envelope to send it back

Oh interesting. So you called up metra and they said "ok we'll fix this" and sent you the cable? Sounds good. Hopefully they'll do that in all cases.

i have to send back but i am wondering what the other issues are and when they are going to fix them, if they fix recently or shortly i may as well hang onto it so i can do another update

I can identify two issues with the 1.1 update:
1) Random small parts of the LCD still glitch every couple seconds. This happens intermittently and is really random. But it is worse from 1.0.
2) The time now runs fast. Mine about +5min per week or more.
And yes J Owens is in the same boat as me.

No not yet. They have not asked for it either. Maybe after all issues are ironed out.
Also J Owens is in norcal.. maybe someone around you needs an update?

Hmmm... all of these problems is making wonder if I should just wait a while before ordering mine. Hopefully once all the bugs are out, they'll ship the kits out bug-free.

nothing is ever bug free. There is just a certain amount of bugs people are able to live with and once we get to that point they quit fixing them.

ok my display just wigged out today, and I had to turn the power off and on several times to get it to fix itself. The temperature is displaying the wrong value though :/
Looks like rollerblades was right - it will happen eventually no matter what. I better contact metra before my AC starts acting up.

If they want the box back tell them to send you the replacement first because you can't go a week without HVAC. And tell them to include a shipping label in the box for the warranty return.

The issue with initial product can be fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting your battery negative terminal.
And you should not have to pay for shipping to send it to them. Even if it is like $6 they should still pay the shipping both ways. Demand that they do.

cross shipping should definitely be the way to do this. In the middle of winter you don't want to go without heat!
