Because he did not load the sound file with a dealer loader so the name is not permanent.  A factory reset and you lose the temporary added name.  G

Yep that's what happens with a factory dcs reset with a upgrade kit installed in the engine.  However the good news is..... You can give the engine any name you want  under the engine set up menu and have it stick. If ever  needed, do a feature rest , The name & ID  will still stick. Need a good battery though.

Dealer loader is the only way to go.

why? All my upgrades still have the name I gave them years ago, just don't do a factory reset. I'd have to send a engine away to get a dealer to  give it  permanent name. Hardly worth it IMHO.

Gregg,

Question: Why?

 

Answer: just don't do a factory reset.

You answered your own question.  

Further, if you should happen to sell or trade the engine, the next owner may not have the same feelings as do you.

It is well worth it Gregg.  Loading files with the dealer loader helps someone who may do a factory reset.  Many people want custom names.  I say if what you are doing works for you, stay with it.  I was looking to hopefully meet you last summer at TTOS.

Hope to meet you as well Marty. I've actually been to Barrys and was shown a really good time.   Maybe I  could sign that wall?

Gregg,

I though that we agreed that what happens in Florida, stays in Florida!

Yah, that Barry is a wild and crazy guy.  Gregg, that would be great.  Anytime you find yourself in the area, please call.
