I have a KXTD 1232 the voice mail is a KX-TVS850 and it requires a higher ROM version in the KSU. I assume this is the chip under the screw on front cover. I have yet to contact my supplier Im wondering if this is going to become a situation. Has anyone ever upgrade the rom in a KXTD :p -1232? Any input appreciated....

I'm assuming you mean the voicemail is a KX-TVS50, since I've never heard of an 850. I don't know why you would need a higher ROM version of the TD1232, but upgrades are done by replacing the EPROMS. They are located under the little door inside the KSU. You lift the old ones out and place the new ones in. Back up your data first!

Hey thanks Kev thats pretty much what I thought the following is straight out of the KXTV-S50 manual sorry about the typo my rom is only a P231SYMMDDA thus requiring a rom update

Ok so how do I get the ROM updated? Anyone know? And since this is a 1232td Version 4 how can the rom not support voice mail?

I'm telling you, I've put voicemails on the -0 version. I'm not sure where you're getting your info, but a -4 does not need to be upgraded to support a TVS voicemail.

I hear ya bro so lets say that my rom although lower than a P232U mine is a P232S. I am trying to just go on and program this beast when I power up the VM I get the following
