BUT they are not equipped to see if auto/update via GPS was ever done so the website offers to d/l it onto your usb and then you plug into car to try to install that firmware.

The dealer can do a firmware check in their shop, but a 75 mile trip there for me is an exercise in pain. So I'll trust that the gps update went thru at some point in time.
451 Smart Fortwo is incapable of doing a BMS software update by GPS.

Such updates require a hardwire connection to proprietary Daimler link.

USB download was NEVER an option.
 
You my friend just hit the dead ED 451 HV battery LOTTO!

That only 5 days ago you left "dead ED" with the dealer and got it back today is awesome and highly irregular! Replacement HV batteries seem to be made of unobtainium and such parts must be hauled by ground yet yours was sourced and replaced in less than a week!

I'm amazed . . .
