I just had a text from City Honda, Basingstoke telling me that my free software upgrade is now due for my car. I have an MY04 is there actually a software update or are they just spamming me?

 

Probably just a ruse to get you in to the dealership.

 

Give them a call?

 

Pretty sure the standard ECUs are read only

 

Non dbw are processor based so can't reflash Iirc <my06 , dbw can be flashed but only appeared for 2 years?

I smell bullshit.

 

once the software has uploaded it will be able to tell you that your discs and pads need changing for £500.......

 

That's what I thought

 

It turns it into an S2011

 

Actually service history, historical trending (bouncing of rev limit etc etc), condition monitoring will be coming to ECU's very soon and are in some ECU's at the moment but with a little less functionality than the afore mentioned.

 

We're going off on a tangent now.

I'd be tempted just to go to see what they do, and watch them like a hawk to see if they actually plug the ECU into anything.
