Anyone in my area that is in need of the latest 6.00 code can give me a call before York. Dave K authorized it to be passed out. I just received it and it is available.

When the house on either side of Marty's or across the street becomes available there will be a bidding war :-)

I suspect you are right!
your...a possessive, e.g. "This is your train."
you're...a contraction of the words, you are, e.g. "You're (you are) the man."
Great! Thanks Barry! (At least I have the correct cables and working computer now that I can easily download the latest version without getting frustrated!)
Thanks Barry!
MTH's Protosound2.com web page has also been updated.
I only have a Mac. I have yet to update to 5.0. Can this be done via Mac or do I need to find a PC?

You need BootCamp, VMware Fusion or Parallels to install Windows on a MAC. Otherwise you need to find a PC.
I use my MAC all the time.

Will we need to use the same cables,
that we used for the MTH-DCS 5.0 Upgrade?
The photo below shows the cables, for a newer TIU, with a note for the older style TIU.

My TIUs and Remote are at Version 4.xx. Can I update directly to 6.0 or do I have to update to 5.x first ?
Thanks

Hi Marty E
I got the long cable so I can lesson to sports talk radio, from my Ford 150. To the Man Cave. lol 
To help out myself and other OGR members, are these the correct cables?
Looking for the correct information. Thanks: Gary

The all look correct to me. I've been doing the 5.0 upgrades at the LHS for them. Now we'll be doing the 6.0s. We throw away a ton of those 1/8 here at work. I always try to grab them and pass them out to hobbyist.
Thanks Marty E - for the cable information - "Now Let's Learn The Process"
I would recommend that OGR Members, watch this YouTube video, from Marc’s O Scale Trains. As of today’s date this is the best video to watch to learn the process.
In this 12 minute video Marc will teach us the process and he goes into great detail about the cable for the Older Style TIU.
This is a excellent review video along with helping out first timers to the MTH-DCS Upgrade Process. Marc is doing the 5.0 upgrade, but the process is the same for 6.0. Just follow the computer prompts. He also has several excellent tips.

Good Luck: Gary
Shorling - Yes, but i always upgrade 4 to 5 to 6 that way you know you have everything - takes little longer but .....
Today I updated 10 TIU's and 11 remotes. Fast, easy used my Dell Laptop. Was a combination of the older TIU's and TIU's with Rev L.
On one of units, it had never been upgraded. Was amazed that the upgrade was simple. Now the owner can purchase the WiFi unit and Application.
Good day to do it since NASCAR was rained out
He skipped the part where you have to release and then hold the button down again, sometimes several times. I've never had a remote update where I didn't have to release and press again at least once.
Help, I am issues with upgrading to 6.0, I have both Rev I and Rev L TIU's that I just recently updated to 5.0. I can get the 5.0 loader to see the units when I go to options and click on Serial port and click out, I get the pop up and it will find the TIU. When I go to load the 6.0 it gives me the time out message. Warning: the program is having a hard time finding a TIU connected. Confirm that all the connections are correct and cycle power on the TIU. I have tried to update both the TIU's to no avail. any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciate, I have call MTH several times with no resolve.
When upgrading TIU, be sure stereo cable is in both ports before powering up TIU. When upgrading remote, be sure stereo cable is out and remote is plugged in, before powering up.
Thanks for the response, I never did get one from MTH. I had already tried what you had mentioned and no Bueno. So I tried another usb port on the laptop which I had already tried before and it worked, DAM PFM! Then I was able to do one of the two DCS remotes I have but the other would not work. Now since I have two TIU's the older TIU which is serial, I couldn't get the usb to serial to work on that but I would give it another go. Well more PFM and the other remote also upgraded to 6.0. So again thanks for the reply I do appreciate it.
