"IF" he can read it (and doesn't get the "Plug too new" error, he will be able to write it...AS LONG as it hasn't been written to by a newer CPS already.

The firmware is new, so I'd say there's a 100% chance your buddy's CPS will give an error message upon reading the radio. You're stuck with the shop, or finding someone else with the latest & greatest CPS to do the programming.

What's odd is that some early versions CPS (below 2.00.00) will read and write the lastest built radios.
