So, put a call into Autologic about what shops in the Indy area are customers of their and can perform software updates on our cars. Turns out, there are a few. Here's a short list I got from them:
Name: Vaughn Motorwerks Llc Telephone: +1 (317) 873-6632 Fax: +1 (317) 873-5875 Email: rick@vaughnmotorwerks.com Address line 1: 7441 S Mayflower Park Drive Town/City: Zionsville State (US Only): IN: Indiana Name: Mikar Inc. Telephone: +1 (317) 575-8282 Fax: +1 (317) 575-9190 Email: mikar8282@msn.com Address line 1: 120 1st ave. s.w. Town/City: Carmel County: In. State (US Only): IN: Indiana Name: Imports Specialists Telephone: +1 (317) 876-9890 Email: info@importspecialistofindy.com Address line 1: 4373 W. 96th Street Town/City: Indianapolis State (US Only): IN: Indiana Name: Reggie's Motorworks Inc. Telephone: +1 (317) 773-0074 Email: reggie@reggiesmotorworks.com Address line 1: 1362 S. 10th Street Town/City: Noblesville County: Indiana State (US Only): IN: Indiana Personally, I've set up an appointment with Reggie's for Tuesday to get my car up to the most recently published integration level. I may update here with my experience. Or, if you have any questions, feel free to PM me |

Sounds good! I don't think it will blow your mind, but it is definitely something that should be done. I was one 231E but got 240E when I got tuned and with primary cat delete and pulley.

Not mind-blowing, I'm sure. However, from what I've gathered, 231E is when the most significant changes to the factory software occurred. So, if you're prior to that and you upgrade, you should see noticeable gains. Based on dynos in the 231E thread, people have seen as much as 20 hp gain when transitioning from prior to 231E to 231E or higher.
Also, since posting in this thread previously, I've done some additional research. Based on the key read I got done at the dealership this last year, I'm on integration level E89X-07-12-515. Based on that and on Benvo's software version thread, that would make my car's software pre-060 and pre-080. As it turns out, it's what is identified as "Legacy". It's the earliest software which can be on our cars. Makes sense, since it's a launch car. So, hopefully, with such a great number of software versions between my car's current version and what has most recently been released, I'm hoping for a noticeable increase in power, smoothness, etc. |

I haven't gotten the update yet. I've got an appointment at the dealer on Monday-Tuesday to get the absolute latest full integration level!
Reggie's was great! However, given that they have Autologic and no fiber optic adapter, they would've only been able to update the DME and certain modules. Specifically, they wouldn't have been able to update the stereo and navigation modules. So, since I liked the idea of having everything in the car updated and not just the DME, I decided to dealer up |

Regarding the idea of high yield, has anyone seen any listing of the kinds of things addressed in the car for these various modules? Knowing that there updates of some sort for them, I didn't wanna miss 'em. |

Yah I have a list at home, the non-most bus stuff takes 2 hours.. The fiberoptic stuff takes 7-8 hours. I forewent the fiberoptics and was done in 2 hours

Awesome! If you could post that up or send that to me, that'd be very helpful. I assume a lot of what's addressed are little bug fixes like Bluetooth connecting slowly and such.

Good deal..thanks for the update. Didn't know there was so much updating (or two types of updating done).
I am officially pissed at the Rohrmans now. Went to change my oil and they stripped drain plugs...Pain the the butt to get out. Luckily I ordered new drain plugs when I ordered my oil. |

OP, did you do the update from the dealer? I'm from Indiana too and seriously thinking about updating software of my car. And do you know any place that does OEM exhaust mod? Thanks!

When I initially got in the car, it was a bit less powerful-feeling from a standstill--less torquey, less jumpy perhaps. I didn't read too much into that initially since I figured they probably reset the throttle adaptation at the same. I figured the car needed some time to adjust. After a day or so, the car still did not feel as lively from a takeoff as I wanted, as I'd remembered before the update. I read up on the throttle adaptation reset since now I wasn't sure that they'd done it as part of the software update. Upon resetting the adaptation, there was a marked improvement overall. After spending a few more days with the car now, I'm still not fully convinced that the update was a complete improvement for my car. Don't get me wrong--there are benefits: Gas mileage has improved slightly; the throttle is less twitchy, more linear; etc. I still think I need a little more time to fully evaluate the merits of the update. I'll post up again if I notice anything else in the coming days |

Very interesting. I didn't think there would be much power gained, rather just better drivability (smoothness). But I kept reading that with such a gap in software dates, more improvements would be noticable. Very interesting observations!
I think you should just delete the cats and get a stage II tune... |

I was looking into the OEM exhaust Mod but ended up going catless instead. Any exhaust shop should be able to do it. Not sure if Reggies would be willing to do it. I also go the name of a place in Zionsville but can't find where I put that info .
