Yes. Kind of. Same problem with a cx65

Nope, and the siemens support email wasn't any use either. "Uninstall
all third party applications" - What ALLL of them?!?!?!
Then they told me to punch holes in the firwall I don't have on my

I just love the way you can switch to "manual" settings in MPM and get
zero options to select. I counted them twice.

SiMoCo seems to work, but it crashes on some functions. Good enough to
transfer photos and files though.

Good Luck!
