v42.1 flash and car won't start
I had my mini in for service and they upgraded the software to 42.1. I have an Alta CAI, 15% pully, and a Unichip. The dealer had it running fine, but when they tried to restart it, it wouldn't turn over. They said they think the Unichip may be conflicting with the new software. Actually, the called the Unichip and "after market part" and thought it was a car alarm (not a real confidence builder on their knowledge or skills!).
Anybody have any ideas as to whether the Unichip would conflict with the new version upgrade?
Thanks for any help.

I thought the Unichip design made for easy removal back to stock - just remove it and if the car still does not start, that issue is eliminated and the dealership needs to find the true problem.
But if the car starts without Unichip and not with it, then you know where to look for a solution ...

Well, the car will actually start once I re-install the Unichip, but then dies after about 2 miles and won't restart. It cranks, but doesn't turn over. Removing it lets it start again immediately. I sent emails to both Randy Webb and Unichip, so I'll see if they have any suggestions.
Anybody heard of this type of scenario - runs for a bit and then dies (remember, v42 was recently installed).
Thanks.
