I emailed BuyHear, as I did not find a mini pro programmer listed on their website, asking for a price with connecting cables.
I received a quote, a day or so later, for $250. No mention of shipping or how to order or anything else just $250. I called the phone # listed on the website and asked how to order. They took my order by phone. I received a confirmation email stating a 10 shipping estimate. I called 10 days later to check, as I had heard nothing, and was told it was shipping that day.
It arrived by Fedex with CS44 cables and a pair of Flexconnect strips. Their was no addition charge for shipping. It was very well packed and came with a disk labeled MiniPro Software. I plugged it into a Windows 10 PC using a powered HUB connected to a USB 3 port. Windows instantly found the device and automatically installed a stock Windows driver without using the Mini Pro software disk.
It works as intended with no additional software other than the Genie 2 programming application.
The CS44 cables are a pain to connect to the Flexstrip connectors due to the very small pin connectors. They also take more force to connect than you might think for such tiny delicate connectors. There are tiny red dots to be lined up on each part but it is a delicate operation, regardless. Inserting the Flexstrips into the Aids is somewhat tedious also.
Plugged in the cables to the Mini Pro and the USB into the computer, ran the Genie software and everything works fine.
I haven’t looked on the Mini Pro software disk to see just what it contains but if some wants to know I can did up a CD/DVR reader and connect to a computer.
I am very pleased that I decided to buy a programmer. My aids are new OPN’s programmed by an Audi. The first time I tried making a few of changes the results are much improved. I did not think I would ever hear this well again!
