[Classicscrap]

Hi all,
I have been reading about the merits of the auto gearbox firmware upgrade and have a couple of questions. My car is a 2003 2.6CD auto and the current gearbox firmware is version 8. I have access to a Tech 2 and TIS2000 software but the Tech 2 software is quite old (2009).
1) Is it worth upgrading the gearbox firmware from version 8? (I don't know what the latest version is)
2) If I upgrade the Tech 2 software, can I upgrade the gearbox firmware using the Tech 2 and TIS 2000, or do I need Global TIS?
Any answers, especially from the Tech 2 gurus, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian

I have a feeling that version 8 is the latest for a 2.6, so quite possibly, it's as good as it's going to get.

Thanks very much. I haven't got any problems with it, it's just nice to know that I'm not missing out on anything.

How do you know what version you have?

  Because tech 2 tells him so

How long you been on here Trigger? 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Longer than your latest incarnation!

Longer than your latest incarnation! 

...and yet trade club is a dirty word, tech 2 is a foreign object, and nothing ever goes wrong with your omega.

Is that Classics Crap or Classic Scrap?

For the GS8211 ECU fitted to 2.6, v8 is the latest, sadly.

Well you got one out of three right at least...
