As for the Software, i re-confirm with my SA again. He said it is V17.. but i told him that it's not OUT yet. Well, i think my software is 13.3 . nothing written on the print out sheets though.. but now it seems that i'm driving a new car. The handling is much better (due to wheel allignment) and the throttle delay is MUCH better right now. YAY !?

My car is at the dealer for BlueTooth upgrade. SA said that they are having problems w/ V15. So I told her to 'skip ' it!

I didn't ask what the problems where, but I have heard that Logic7 not functional by fellow board member Leonard after the BlueTooth upgrade.

I will report back in a few hours on the upgrade.

cheers,

Just out of interest, he also said they had new programing computers which can update six cars at once, previously being limited to one at a time.

Talked to my SA yesterday and he just got v15 last week. Also told me that there is a list of bugs already associated with this version and that I should wait if there's not anything *seriously* wrong. (Good thing for me there's nothing wrong with my 545!) He also said that the one thing good about v15 is that he can do multiple updates simultaneously - but that with all the headaches of upgrading even one, he'll probably just stick to one at a time until the upgrade process is easier...

I posted a similar message in another thread but felt that it belonged here as well:

My SA said that they were told not to bother with version 14 or 15 yet due to bugs. They're loading 13.3 on my car right now...

I know that V 15.1 is out and 15.2 is suppose to be out this next week. (Dealer and the Tech told me since the last update did not fix TMC problem.) 17?????????????????????
[snapback]77668[/snapback]
Gomac, by TMC problem, do you mean the fact that the car finds it hard to find and keeps losing TMC signal?

Oh... ok... Anyone know what software controls the SMG? Is it the same software as this? V15? and V13.3? Mines going haywire and I have an appoitment with the dealer on saturday to take a look at it... but if V15 still has bugs I'm not sure I want it loaded yet...

Or is the Transmission Software completly unrelated?
