Hi James,

I am nearly 100% certain that all firmware upgrades (flashing the firmware) has to be performed directly by Bel/Escort. This means that Neltronics would have to send your STi to Bel. I recommend cutting out the middleman and shipping your STi to Bel directly.

Alright thanks alot for the input guys...looks like it will be a late night tonight since their 9am is my 12am lol, just wanted to ask also if it is the best time to send it right now? I've read somewhere some of the fixes are still in the testing phase?

**Aoshi** · 10-26-2008, 06:27 AM

The fixes for the STi are ready and shipping.

The STi-R has JUST come out of testing, and mine's on it's way back from Bel right now. Don't worry, if it wasn't tested, they wouldn't give it out to the public.

"We don't service any units that come from the US... you will have to send it back to the US if you have any issues with that unit." (Neltronics) So much for being a subdivision, I don't get it whats the point of being a subdivision of you don't provide anything more then resellers? Oh well called beltronics last night but forgot about the time difference so I ended up calling on their sunday...looks like it's going to be a late night again

Called Bel, sending device back on friday and just found this which I thought was halarious

"Heavy fines apply, ranging from $200 - $1200 AUD, loss of up to 9 demerit points, and confiscation of the Radar Detector. However, importing a unit is permitted under Australian customs regulations"

Looks like I should have no problems with customs
