Sometimes this IS the best suggestion. I remember having issues with connectivity with a router on Comcast. Comcast suggested a firmware update for connection issues.

The update fixed the connection issues, but permanently disabled the wireless function. I ended up having to purchase a new router after the manufacturer was unable to repair the damage done by the update.

If it's not broken don't fix it is often the best idea. More often than you would suspect, the enemy of good is "better".

I'll agree with earlier posters that it isn't the software that costs, it is the time for your dealer to install the software update. While they may be charging a HUGE premium for it, it DOES take someone's time to do the flash-and check to make sure that no adverse effects occurred.
