Title: Gearbox firmware upgrade
Post by: Classicscrap on 31 March 2014, 22:40:40: 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

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