tls pilot Posted November 7, 2015 Report Posted November 7, 2015 Hoping to assist a friend that has a KLN 90B The data card is old. Anyone out there that updates a KLN 90 on a routine basis would you consider an update for them? Or, they could send their data card prior to your update, you update that data card and send them you recently expired data card?? location is central FL Thanks Quote
donkaye Posted November 7, 2015 Report Posted November 7, 2015 The easiest way to update the card is to pay for the method where you send the old card back in exchange for a new one. Doing the update via a computer can be done, and I did it for many years, but I always had issues with it. I had a Mac computer and the updates only ran on a Windows machine with an old RS 232 cable. I ran it in a windows environment with VMware. It was very flaky. It's been a few years now and BK probably hasn't updated the method, so an old version of Windows is probably required. Do yourself a favor and update the card by the exchange method. It's worth the extra money. 1 Quote
carusoam Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 The exchange is close to $300 for one 28 day cycle. The download method is reported to still work, and is closer to $100 for the same data. I am about to embark on the trail of updating the DB using one of my kid's old Windows computer. I have been in contact with BK recently. My DB stopped communicating with my KLN90B one day. No DB, no GPS. Just an error message. Good luck, -a- Quote
