Hi,
I am reviving an old thread and hope there is some new info.
My C2000 worked fine. I only used it for long distances, and never in winter (too cold for me outside, brr). After moving to sunnier climes I broke my leg. I had to change the configuration from RWD to FWD to accomodate individual electrically adjustable legrests and had a senior guy from Otto Bock help me out with this and any programming issues I had.
Then covid hit (lockdowns) so the chair was sitting on charge in the shed. It was only used sporadically since.
A week or so ago I wanted to take it for a run. After transferring I adjusted the tilt and the electronics switched off. I switched it on again but the same repeated a number of times. Checking the error log seemed a sensible first step. My contact at Otto Bock no longer works there, and getting an overpriced tech from a dealer (who has no idea what he is doing) to look at it does not seem a sensible option. The C2000 has been out of production for a while, Enable50 (the Curtis system) is unknown to most people ...
I am going to check all the cabling etc in the next week or so, when my helper is back, but I realised I want to keep this charge for years, if possible, so have to find a way to solve the programming issue.
I have the CPF file of the configuration after the mods, but that can only be read by version 4 of the 1314 software. I am not sure if the old version 3 will support whatever they did to the chair. Besides, I will have to dig up the cable and USB/CAN converter I made years ago. Probably still packed up from when we moved 6 years ago :-(
I thought I would bite the bullit and buy the 1314 SW + dongle. I can buy the OEM version in China, and it comes with the 1309 box.

I probably need the the CANfox
https://www.sontheim-industrie-elektron ... es/canfox/I have emailed Sontheim, but no reply.
The one listed inthe link woodygb posted a while ago looks similar but has a different connector, and probabaly no-one will know the pinout.

Thanks!
PS If you know of anyone who sells spare electronics, pref. 2nd hand (1750-4403, 1754-6003 and 1751-6103), please let me know. I like the C2000 and would like to get it back to good working condition, and have spares so I can enjoy it for many more years.
