Can you post a link to the service menu codes you've found?

It should. (Mine did) Even if not, the cable is just a standard USB to mini-USB that I have seen for as little as $3.

First things first, you should connect your remote to the official web site http://www.ez-rc.com as that will update the firmware. Then, after that, we might be able to put a file together for you to load into the remote.

I went ahead took a crack at an upgrade, but I'm not sure if I did it right (subdevice blank, 0 or 15 like other projector codes?).

Based on Vicky's LG Projector upgrade:

Dave, I get the impression that Turbo will need an RMIR file for his Nevo C2, otherwise he'll probably need detailed instructions on how to add upgrades, etc. I think his venture into JP1 is strictly limited to getting into the EZ menu on his LG tv.

I can throw together an RMIR file too. Do you think my upgrade is correct with regard to the blank subdevice?

I would have to go back and re-read the hack instructions and then take a closer look at the files that you created. I thought it was just a simple NEC1 dev 4 upgrade with a few specific EFC codes.

Yes, all I did was take an existing LG projector upgrade which used all NEC1 4.15 codes and added the few new service commands in the linked thread using just NEC1 4 (blank subdevice). I figured he'd want to fully control the projector. My confusion came from the fact that all the other commands are 4.15.
