    BRD: What you have suggested that I do, is exactly what I did.
    A properly formatted USB flash drive contained only the three new Profiles.
    I inserted the flash drive into system of car 1, loaded the system, turned system off, then turned system on. All OK on that system.
    I then inserted the exact same flash drive into car 2, a few minutes later, loaded the system, turned system off, then turned system on. Anomalies existed.
    I then took another properly formatted flash drive and downloaded a Statistics and Use file from Car 1's system. All settings correct, per printout.
    I then formatted that flash drive and downloaded a Statistics and Use file from Car 2's system. Anomalies were shown on the printout.
    I compared the printout from Car 2, to the printout from Car 1, and from the printouts of the three Configuration Profiles that I had originally generated.
    Printout from Car 1 was identical to printouts of the three original Profiles I selected.
    Printout from Car 2 had anomalies from printout of Car 1 and the printout of the three original Profiles I selected.
    Even without the printout from Car 2's system, I could see that there were discrepencies between the Profiles I generated and what was in Car 2's system.

    BRD, I have not yet done so, but, if I manually change a setting in a particular Profile, say Profile A, does the manually changed setting only pertain to Profile A, or will the manual change also affect the same setting in Profile B and Profile C?

    Thanks!

    Insert the config file let it load and then turn it off and back on and you will be fine.

    BRD: OK, I'll give it a try, as you advise, and see what happens.

    BRD: I again attempted to update my Car 2's ALP system, using the exact same USB flash drive with the three Profiles. I turned the system off, inserted the flash drive, turned the system on, there were two blue lights but NO voice stating something like "download successful" or whatever the voice usually says, then turned the system off, then withdrew the flash drive from the USB port, then turned the system back on. The Profile selections that were correct yesterday were still correct today. The Profile selections that were not correct yesterday, per the selections I had on the flash drive, were still not correct today. This is the same flash drive and Profile selections that were successfully installed in Car 1 yesterday. Nothing has been added to, or deleted from, the flash drive. I am going to save the flash drive, with the three Profiles on it, in case it is ever needed for further investigation in the future.

    I then turned the system on, inserted the flash drive, there were two blue lights but NO voice, I withdrew the flash drive. I checked the Profile selections. The selections that were not correct yesterday are still not correct today. I then turned the system off, waited a couple of minutes, then turned the system on. The Profile selections that were correct yesterday are still correct today. The Profile selections that were not correct yesterday are still not correct today.

    I will now use another properly formated USB flash drive, which I have used in the past to successfully load files into the ALP systems, and generate Profiles A, B, and C, selection by selection, that are exact duplicates of the three Profiles I successfully loaded into Car 1's ALP system yesterday. (I have hard copy printouts of the three Profiles A/B/C, on which I have checked each selection from the ALP website's specific Profile A/B/C selections, and placed a check mark on each selection on each of the Profile A/B/C hard copy printouts) I will then load the new Profiles into Car 2's ALP system, and see if they then are exact duplicates of the Profiles I successfully loaded into Car 1's ALP system yesterday.

    I will advise of the results after attempting the download to Car 2.
