Hi,

I have a 6020 CU and a 6036 80f. I'm wondering if anything can be done to it/them to gain the functionality of a 6021 and thus MM2 protocol. Add-on unit, extra hardware inside, software updates, anything at all really. Can it be done or is it a pipe dream?

I don't think I've ever heard of it being possible, Tomgi. Sorry!

Maybe someone else knows different?

Hi, Tomgi,

I never heard about such an upgrade.

The CU 6021 came with several starter sets and is easily obtainable on the second hand market. Your 80f will give you a second throttle if you go that way.

OTOH the 80f was not included in starter sets and you may get a good price if you sell it on the second hand market - enough money to get a CU 6021 or almost enough money to get a complete MS2 set from a split starter set.
Regards
Tom

No the only way to do that is replace the 6020 with a 6021. the 6036 is the only item to keep, as this will work as an additional controller on a 6021.

Ok, thanks for your answers. I figured it couldn't but done but you never know for sure if you don't ask. For all I knew someone had made an aftermarket product that plugged in an supercharged it. No such luck then.
