I read in one of the posts that the firmware update recall is done via CAN using a USB to CAN tool.  Can anyone verify this?

I ask because I've done a few firmware update tools for a few car tuners along with lower modules and the like.  All were CAN based and IXXAT tended to be the tool company most of the OEM's software supported.  The whole thing strikes my curiosity.

Just heard back from Zero who indicated it was not CAN (so probably RS-232 serial)....  Off to the dealer for me.

if we have the cable and get a computer to talk to the Zero a remote controlled session would be a breeze. Guess that might be the way to do this to bridge the difference modern style. Done this with all sorts of equipment in the past.

I have been corrected.  The Speed Controller update is done via CAN.  I've asked Zero for some insite on the process and will share what I can.  There may be an easier way to do all of this but the decision will ultimately be Zeros.
