The gentleman here was able to use a similar model with no issues so I'm wondering if this might be the way to go. You can find the VX2000 models on Amazon. :wink:

However, I'll take another look to see if the ones you mentioned are compatible as well.

EDIT: I'm not seeing that much, just threads going back to 2008-2010. The solutions and software given in them probably would no longer apply.

You are typing it wrong. The command has a colon in the middle.
