Programming CVP G2 with NCE GWire throttle

I am using a NCE Gwire throttle and CVP G2 receiver to power my track powered G
scale outdoor layout.With the G2 I can run DC powered engines through the motor
outputs or DCC powered engines though the DCC output of the decoder to on board
motor/sound decoders.
When I bought my Gwire cab and G2 receiver everybody said it could not program
a long address.
So I was going to leave the G2 to address 3. While programing the 3rd party
motor decoders for my engines I reprogrammed the G2 address some how.
Last night I tried to reprogram the G2 back to address 3. The only way I could
do it was to use Direct Programming mode. It went back to address 3.
I tried to program the G2 to a long address using the Gwire cab in Direct Programming Mode
AND IT WORKED. So it worked for me. It may work for you too.

Interesting Richard. I also have a NCE GWire throttle and am using CVP G2 boards (because of the Titan debacle). I invested in a T5000 because I needed another throttle and figured I could then do all the programming with it.
