As a newcomer to the forum I wasn't aware until reading various posts that the firmware in my meegas autobox, climate control etc could be upgraded to latest versions. I assume that this has to be done through Tech 2. As I have had my 3.2 elite since new in 2001 there are probably quite a few updates that could be beneficial.
I am also asuming that the Vauxhall stealers do not do this as part of their yearly service schedules without charging for a Tech 2 session in addition to the service? Does anyone know if they would just charge for one session to update all firmware?
Unfortunately there is noone near here that has the necessary to do a Tech 2 session so I am limited to going to the stealers!!

Some dealers might be prepared to do it for a charge, some may not. None will normally do it as part of their normal service.

I'd dread to think how much they would charge...

If you can find a sensible way of getting it done .. go for it ... TheBoy did mine at WIM last month .. it has turned a great car into a fantastic car ... I am really surprised at the difference, and because it seems to "lockup" in top at a lower rpm, and when being gentle with the right foot the changes seem to be earlier, I'm actually getting about 5-10% better fuel economy

would love mine to be done, Jaime is a little too far away

I wish i'd known!!

car might be sold before Lakes, but if not, might be able to spare some time if you were to detour off the M6, but i cant spare the time to make it to the lakes for either day

What about Marks DTM can he not sort the tech 2 upgrades for you?

also quite far away i think

I paid for the gearbox firmware, and the others to be checked and updated....

I had quotes from £70+ to £35 to refusals at different dealers.

I paid the £35, and gearbox updated.....Nothing else was checked as Mark later updated everything else..

If you are going to pay a dealer, try a few, and also try to watch, I was refused

I would be interested to know if my Omega would benefit from firmware updates.  As I have an April '99 registered car, does that make it a mini facelift as I have steering wheel controls and HID headlights (I think).

Are there any updates available, if so what would they be?

[HolyCount]

If you have several updates in mind it might be worth a trip to either of our tech2 gurus, get it all sorted at once.

Bear in mind that not every stealership knows how to use the tech2 properly and think they are just code readers !!!!!

Varies, as a component, for example the prefacelift climate panel, has many hardware variations - some have updates, some don't.

Hi The Boy,
                Would my 96 3.0L Elite be eligible for upgrades of any kind?

   Thanks,
              Pete.
