My dealer said that unless something was actually wrong with the version I have, they wouldn't upgrade it for me.

There are lots of issues in the SW that warrent an upgrade - have you had any false puncture warnings ?

Search around for faults in your current SW on this forum and prove those faults to your dealer. They'll update SW for you.
Complaints:

Static noises coming from speaker intermittenly
Windows rolling up and suddenly down intermittenly
Slow Throttle response

If everything is working properly, then your dealer may have done you a favor. But, as others have indicated, there may be problems with your software that you are not aware of yet.

Hmmm, I if really do not have a problem with your car, why should you update it?

At least wait for the version 19.
That should be available in Oct/Nov at your lousy dealer.

Actually I?m getting my updated right now for following:

1. AM static (installing new antenna, which requires re-programming)
2. Brakes squeaking
3. Windshield wipers
4. Low oil level
