Don't the the [ir_translate] trick, you shouldn't need that.

Try this instead....

Make sure that the following is in your config.ini:

[output]
notify=1
[serial]
car_rate=115200

Then enable the DC/Car restore in Hijack.

In another thread unrelated to DC/Car restore, there was a hint that there might be a problem with notify=1 when the car_rate was at its default speed. So try putting it to 115200 and see if that fixes it.

I'm very interested in knowing if this takes care of the problem for everyone.
