Is it possible to add the Thomson protocol to KM, for us european-devices bound users? I know RM does Thomson (and I used it), but it doesn't do Device-Combiner, and having to use both for doing one upgrade is cumbersome...

Re: Thomson protocol and KM
For device combiner, I think using both for one upgrade is easier. I'd use it that way even if KM supported the base protocol, maybe even if RM supported Device-combiner.fichmana2003 wrote:I know RM does Thomson (and I used it), but it doesn't do Device-Combiner, and having to use both for doing one upgrade is cumbersome...
Device combiner requires that you get the fixed data and EFC codes from elsewhere. It can't do device to fixed data translation, nor OBC to EFC translation. I like to have both the base upgrade and the device combiner open at once, so I can see or even change OBC numbers.

Good advice, John. Now that I actually did use both, I can say it has some advantages. I had both open and copy/pasting between them. Now if only I had a dual-head monitor setup, everything would be perfect...For device combiner, I think using both for one upgrade is easier.
