Nope, it is not the same...

The Vehicle Control Language (VCL) in the newest RXV controllers has been altered to prevent higher top speeds. They won't even do the Freedom mode speed of 19.5 MPH anymore without my help. Top speed is 15 MPH from the factory. I must reprogram it in a manner that will invalidate the warranty in order to speed it up. An option is to buy an older controller from eBay and save the new controller to reinstall if warranty service is needed. E-Z-GO dealers are having me reprogram them, just so they can be sold now. That has never been an issue before. E-Z-GO is driving the dealers to seek me out.

Ok thank you for your information. If someone would be able to merge 2019 speed parameters VCL in a 2020 .cpf and write it to a 2020 controller that would do the trick as well?

Absolutely not. In order to change any parameter outside of the acceptable VCL limits, writes must be made live to a controller. I cannot write the changes that I make by writing a saved file to a controller. If one wants to modify an OS/VCL that is written to a controller, you'll have to reflash the controller with a precompiled OS/VCL file that is compatible with that controller. These must be downloaded from Curtis, or selected from a library of saved OS/VCL files.

Thank you again. Is there a good way to download OS/VCL files from a Controller? It is a different file than the .cpf file?

It requires an original Curtis 1309 interface with original Factory or Development level EEPROM content. Since the content of the EEPROM cannot be precisely duplicated (checksums must match precisely), you're forced to buy or lease an original from a source within Curtis. I had these when I was a Factory level
OEM. I have an account on the Curtis server for file access.

A tip... If you cannot install the 1314 software completely to full operation without editing the registry to get past the "not configured" error, it will not allow advanced operations.

Thank you Sir. Interesting.
