Disregard!

Disregard that last post. I disconnected the battery, waited a few minutes and reconnected and it started. Sorry!

Panic over ..... have a beer now and get the pulse rate down.

Sounds like an ID-10-T user error. Sorry, I just had to.

Or perhaps he had the beer before the upgrade, and missed the "disconnect battery" step in the instructions...

He did this AFTER he disconnected the battery and his wife locked the trunk
(See his post about not being able to open the trunk)

I'd need a good stiff scotch to calm down myself...
