Update: Supra and iOS 9 for iPhone – Update Your eKey App for Compatibility UPDATE: Supra has officially updated the eKey app to version 2.2.1 in the iTunes App Store. The new version (2.2.1) offers iOS 9 compatibility with iBox BT LE keyboxes. All iPhone users who update to iOS 9 MUST also update the eKey App to version 2.2.1 which was just released today, September 17, 2015. Versions of the iOS eKey prior to 2.2.1 WILL NOT WORK with current keyboxes.
Previous Notice of Incompatibility: For supported Apple devices, be on the look out for iOS 9 being made available today. Information regarding the upgrade can be found on the attached link: http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/ For our Columbus REALTOR® members who are using an Supra eKey, our keybox office has received the following notice regarding the Supra eKey devices: “Please share this information with your members who use an eKEY with an Apple product. Apple is releasing a new operating system, iOS 9, on 9/16/15 for iPhones and iPads. The current version of Supra’s eKEY app, version 2.1.0, will not communicate with an iBox BT LE keybox. Instead of doing so, the eKEY will return to the home screen. This issue is specific to the iBox BTLE; the eKEY app on iOS 9 communicates properly with the iBox BT and iBox. Supra has updated the eKEY app to work with iOS 9 and are working with Apple to get it placed on the Apple app store as quickly as possible. Please do not update your iPhone or iPad to iOS 9 until you have updated the eKEY app to version 2.2.1. Supra will notify you when the revised eKEY app is available.” For specific questions regarding this and eKey, please contact member services at Columbus REALTORS® during the hours of Mon-Fri 8:30a-5:00p at 614-475-4000

Correction – Office Exclusive listings Today’s e-Notes included notification of a policy change to require that the Office Exclusive Waiver form must now include a copy of the Office Exclusive Listing Agreement. This was done to strengthen compliance with MLS rules. However, upon reflection it was determined that singling out a certain type of listing agreement to audit (such as the Office Exclusive) would be improper. Therefore, although we still require the Office Exclusive Waiver form to be filed with MLS within 48 hours, we do not require a copy of the related listing agreement. We apologize for the confusion. If you have further questions, please contact MLS Director Bryan Dean (614) 498-1012.
