I have read about the dealer reflash updates that were released mid year last year for the 08s to get them to shift/run a little better, does anyone know if these updates are needed for the 09s? I just picked up an 09 and I am curious if I need to do the updates at the first oil change(dealer). I know it shifted pretty lame but I didn't really notice anything out of the ordinary so...

Thanks in advance.

I took my 2009 in and had them flash the ECU. It shifted pretty hard from 1-2. It's not as bad as it was so I guess it helped. You have to tell the dealer to do it also.

**** I guess I'll ask them about it when I take it in for its first service. After you reflashed, does it shift harder in all modes(normal, sport, manual) or just sport?

Thanks for the heads up.

Or use VMS' flash tool for the TCM, only costs $50, if you don't mess up the scan tool, then its $750!!

Actually it still shifts a little hard in manual. I find it easier just to start in 2nd.

Just got my wife's '09 G8 GT serviced today and they had a reflash available for it. It does seem to shift better now. Feels much smoother in regular Drive.
