My Ride: Jap Snail with 4 bangers
Just picked up my car today from the dealer and I did notice some improvements 
.
1. Steering angle improved
2. Better sound quality
3. engine feels smoother (My wife claimed)
4. Display seems brighter
I'm still figuring out if there is anything else.

I suspect a bit of placebo effect, but it would be hard to know that.
After I upgrade I'm expecting my teeth to be whiter, my sex life to improve, my children to start walking the dogs, and . . .

I am going in for an upgrade next week. My dealer claims it is 16.0 and doesn't believe it is 16.2 . I know they just received it, what is the likelihood they would be behind dealers on both coasts? My service department is really the pits in terms of being knowledgeable. I am thinking that they don't know what they are talking about
which has been the case so often before.

When I originally asked my service advisor what version they had, he said. "I think 40.something". They are clueless sometimes. The service dept. manager knows the versions. 16.2 is now available most places. If they install 16.0, that's just "wrong" since 16.2 is a major realease with a lot of "fixes".
thats the upgrade i want
