The smg upgrade was for the 545s, atleast thats what my SA told me and it was to correct the 2nd to 1st slam issue.
You could try this SMG reset to get better shifting.
Also does your nav have perspective view ? this was added on the later version.

Just like your Windows programs sometimes updates cause problems. If your not having a problem don't change anything. We had a list running here with every version of update what it fixed and what it broke, kinda funny.
