For SMG owners who have upgraded to V15, have you noticed that your shifts feel much quicker in sports mode? It seem so to me, at least by the seat of my pants.

I have steptronic transmission and feel the same in D & DS mode .. Know I miss adaptive trasmission when I apply hard brake as I use to do before upgrading to version 15.1 ... where the car was donwshifting when I apply brake .. that was realy good for fast driving between other cars .. I am happy
because D mode is somther than before but I hope to get back adaptive trasmission in DS mode

I thought the transmission and CIP software are not related... I thought transmission had its own software...

The transmission needs to leran again. When the software gets upgraded, the drivers settings (shiftpoints, etc.) are deleted.

I just got V15 today and SMG feels the exact same as before. Steering feels heavier though... I like it...

AUX In is done, a first in NC! They did a great job and delivered the car back in 2 days.
