take note that everything gets reset. my seats, mirrors, radio, and trip monitor were all reset once it was coded with the newest software. I IMMEDIATELY noticed a difference in the steering, the brakes, and the overall smoother pull in first gear when I floored it. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

Not sure if I missed it somewhere, but can anyone explain the differences in the amount of time it takes to upgrade to 231e? For example, most times I've read are 2-3 hours of programming at the dealer and as quick as 5 minutes (after a 35 minute read time) for a 231e update from a "tuner" company. Are some tuners only using 231e update on the DME and hence the quick times? If so, shouldn't all the modules be updated together to the latest software version rather than picking and choosing?

Thats my next step If only somebody could make them fast enough I wanted a fresh new ecu (with the 231E) so I wouldnt have to worry about losing the tune then having to do it again. Basically a clean slate. I have an exhaust going on soon, as well as springs, so I'm ready!

Thanks. The car is immaculate and the foreman who did the update commented on how he was shocked it was on the original software. Shows the car has been well maintained. Thanks as well. I am about to go pick up the car from being updated. I'll post with impressions.

If going the dealer route - depending on how far behind on updates you are will determine how much time is needed to update the vehicle. We are equipped with autologic, the 231E update can be performed in about 30 minutes. |

It's awesome. That and the brake feel were the two immediate things I noticed.

Just got the car back guys. Here are my quick impressions.
-The best way to describe it is more responsive. The car seems to be "jumpier" now and seems to get to red line a little quicker. Extra whp? No clue...i wouldn't even bother with a guess. - As noted by someone the handling/steering does feel smoother. I was only able to go through the streets to get home from the dealer to alot of 1-2, 2-3 shifts didn't get into 4th much either..nothing over 60 yet. - The software installed was actually a 2.32....which is the latest version of the software.

Yep, I think the latest is 243E now but I could be wrong about the number. Regardless, there is a newer version than 231E now.

You need to have someone with Autologic tell you. The dealer can also give you the integration level (I think that's what it's called?) but it's somewhat cryptic and doesn't tell you the version only the month and year of that software's release.
