On a 95 CD model, no worthwhile updates  :'(

The box is identical, the gearbox ecu is different.  And wired completely differently.

If its minifacelift (solid headrests, clear headlights, steering wheel audio controls, but the true test, last letter of VIN being a W or X), then it has flashable ECU

Nope. The real worthwhile change came after Omega ceased production.

Hi just had mine updated today to the latest version apparently.£38 Quest motors Maldon.
Makes a big difference as I,ve never been happy with it,especially when towing but I,m happy now,although the big test will be this weekend when we drive to Dorset with five adults with luggage and a caravan.
Also can anyone tell me how to tell what version I have now without connecting the Tech2. As the chap behind the desk didn't know just said its the latest version.
Cheers Glyn

He didn;t know!

1) It tells you when go to TIS to get the sofwtare downloaded

2) H hsould ahev checked the gearbox summary screen to confirm it had gone in ok!

Chances at it will be V10 given you have a 2.2....but its not certain as there are a few varients of auto box

No he didn't know.
He was just the chap in reception,not the mechanic.
You don,t get to speak to him or see him.You hand your keys over
and sit and watch tv till its done.Which is a shame but I think a lot of dealers are the same nowadays so you can't chat and get info and tips etc.
