Received the dongle this morning and just programmed now. The hype is real people, unprogrammed sounds NOTHING like programmed and everything is improved after programming. Bass is deeper and harder hitting (mirror moves now, wouldn't before on similar songs and volumes) and the sound stage is back to it's tight, cohesive self.
Just a note from the installation instructions, you plug the unit in to the helix first without the SD Card installed. At that point, the dongle says 00 or unprogrammed. That is it, the units are not preprogrammed. End of discussion there.
Now why when you install the SD card does it default to 57 on the display, that's something we can debate all day but my guess is that is just what they set as the "default" code to display first. There is a good chance it's because it's the highest volume model/code, or it could just be that 57 is a cool number.
Either way, I think we can put that discussion to bed.
Dongle is shipping out today to the next in line!
