That's exactly what I figured is probably going on here.. Oh well, works for me!

As far as software version I'd have to look into it or do a key read as I don't remember..

edit: And I was just browsing TIS and see that they came out with a bulletin for this issue last month.. I've been working on the MINI side of town so didn't notice..
