I have not had my MX-980/system up and running since I packed it away for two reason around 2010. I Moved from the home it was installed and the 980 screen cracking just prior to move. I have not been in a residence that I really wanted to spend the money to replace the 980 until now.

So.... I have unpacked the remote charged it completely, found my old editor,opened it up, updated software. Updated drivers since I am now on Windows 7 instead of Windows 98. Being that the LCD is cracked and black i believe the software is talking to the 980 because it chimes when I send setting changes, etc...

So here is my question:
If I exchange my old 980 (2008) for the lasted production 980 will my old editor work with the latest production 980 I will receive in exchange?
Thanks for your help and time!!! James

Do you have CCP? I don't remember if there was ever a standalone editor for MX-980.

Assuming you have CCP, install it and make sure it upgrades and you will be good to go.

Yes there was a standalone editor for the MX-980 and I'm pretty sure the new ones won't work with it but not 100%. Hopefully someone else here can chime in and tell you for sure before making the purchase.

Made a call to URC today and was informed that MX-980 editor will not work with the late production 980's. So I now have to find a used early production 980 and transfer files and update with my MX editor or purchase a MX-450. When did CCP take over? Anyway to tell by production S/N etc... on remote of when CCP took over? Thanks for you help and time. James

Your old file can be converted to CCP. I would look to buy the 980 from a dealer who is willing to give you a copy of CCP.

I don't stay updated but last I knew dealers still have the option to provide CCP software. Call Mike at SurfRemote and see if that's still true and if he can help you.

thanks for the lead. Hopefully he will be receptive and be willing to supply the software. Thanks for your help and time. Will the current production MX-980 work with the MRF-350??James

Will the current production MX-980 work with the MRF-350??
