Replaced GWS2 with different HWAP and HWEL - Fractals - 22-04-2023

Hi,

I recently replaced my GWS2 (gear selector) module on my G30 pre-LCI and need to flash, but it seems that the HWAP and HWEL versions are different (see below). How to fix? Maybe I need to code it to my car? I don't see CAFD either, but maybe this module doesn't have it.

Thanks!

The calculation you’ve made shows that it’s not supposed to have cafd. It would be shown in red if so.

It’s incorrect version for your car. If you make the relevant changes to the vo maybe it will be accepted.

You have put basic GWS instead of the one with ceramic coating. So in order to calculate it to match you need to remove respective option (4U1) from the VO!

Of course you will (most probably) get mismatches on other units then.

Got it. That makes sense. Thanks guys!

Wonder why the ceramic version has different HW rev? Seems like electronics are the same, but only difference is ceramic material. Curious, indeed.

HW(EL) is THE SAME (patch number is not relevant AT ALL). HWAP on the other hand is different to DIFFERENTIATE between them.
