Where would we find this information, and is there a link to the latest manual?

on your brain, at the bottom, there will be two small circles with an arrow pointing to numbers. One will be the Month, the other Year. (you will know which is which) You can also check to see if you even have a channel 5 and 6. WHITE/ black and ORANGE / black respectively. (channel 6 is on a red 2-wire harness) If you have channel 5 and 6, refer to the one in the download section. (link at top that says Downloads) If not, your manual is correct. About the bitwriter, i mount my brain in such hard places to get to, that it would be more work to use the bitwriter than to use the valet switch. (unless the car is already taken apart, then i use the bitwriter to program some features before reassembling)Note: You Always Dont Get What You Pay For.

Back when I worked for a DEI dealer, we installed a Bitwriter cable in every car. We would then cable tie the end of it to the diagnostic plug under the dash. If a customer ever needed settings changed, we could just plug in without ripping the dash apart. The cables are only about a $1 each for dealers.

Ref JWORMS last comment, we do the same thing here in UK for all Clifford product, we even keep old (version 1.1) on an old pc, loaded with Win 98 'cause it seems to have less glitches than  than version 2.2. We tie the Wiz ends to hood release cables, fuse box flaps, OBD sockets etc.

Neither of those manuals in the 'Downloads' section show a feature 2-12. Could someone post a link to the one that does? Thank you.
