You going to make the version with the third xenon headlight?

Has to be an AC, CP doesn't have Dash 9's.

CV08 = x008 will reset the whole decoder to factory settings.

Guessing by the strobes, I'd say it is most likely an RCL.

Call ESU Out of St. Cloud. They're very nice about customer support. Its either that or they were afraid I'd haul myself up there, as I only live 45 mins away.

I got my DT400 upgraded, its really really nice. How do you like your 402?
