I just got my software updated in order to get BT and Aux-In, both which work as advertised. The steering is definitely heavier, I guess I like it better just need to get used to it.
When I was going up the hill to my house I usually let it rip going into this one corner and this time it felt like the car was leaning, or giving a little more. Not sure if it is related or not but now when I press DSC it pops up "DTC" on the guage display, before I distinctly remember a yellow triangle or the like. What is this all about?
Lastly, I was supposed to get the DME emissions recall done as well but the SA said that he didn't think it was completed, leading me to believe that the previous poster might have been on to something with respect to another release coming out soon to address this. I had to have my car today so will probably have to take it back in again.

Your car is acting normally as it pertains to the DTC light illuminating when you press the DSC button.
The only thing new for '05 is that they renamed the button from DSC to DTC to avoid this exact confusing scenario...

If you press the DSC button long enough, DTC will switch off also. Then you will see the yellow triangle.
That's how it is with mine.

My understanding is DSC includes DTC. When you press DSC, DTC remains active while some others switch off (don't know what though).

And in MY05 the just and only changed the name of the button, not the function.
