Default Foxwell NT530 not showing USA on reset

Used the NT530 today to reset the oil service light on 2011 C2S and had 2 problems: 1) it only showed MY 07, 08 & 09 and, 2) when I entered 'USA' it came up as 'Syria.' Anyone else had this problem? I ended up entering '09' and using Great Britain. TIA.

I don't know if its the same issue but mine will only reset to10k and 2 year intervals no matter what I populate the fields to. I just stopped resetting it, I don't drive enough to service this car on mileage and its easy enough to remember yearly.

I have the same problem with it. I selected USA but showed Syria. It somehow rolled back my odometer reading by 1 mile after this reset.

Might try Foxwell's latest NT530 software up-date?

I received this notice 7/30/21:
Dear Foxwell User,
We are sending you this email to inform you that we have issued the following software updates with regards to your Foxwell scan tool.
We recommend that you update your scan tool to apply the latest updates. Your Foxwell scan tool will continue to function with the currently installed software,
but may not perform optimally without the latest updates installed.
NT530 PORSCHE V1.21.002 - Optimize software structure.
I updated my NT530's software. Only thing I noticed is the diagnostic scans process a tad quicker. Hadn't noticed my prior version with this reset issue, so no help there.
