I'll leave it to others to describe, as some may think I have a vested interest.
Marks_DTM_Calib can do it in Nottingham - see http://theboy.omegaowners.com for prices.

I have read on here that it can lower the rpm when in 4th and locked.....
how can this be...i thought a ratio is a physical thing..

No, it doesn't do that...

OK, my experieince is that the changes are smoother, eliminating the horrid 50mph clunk when TC locks, and has less 'slip' in the box...
But as I have a vested interest, wait for other opinions :y
-
a very noticable difference.
My dad has his 2.2 Auto updated, the Omega has a smooth box anyway, this makes it ultra smooth.
As mentioned 50mph surge is removed, change downs are MUCH smoother.
You have to watch the rev counter to watch the revs change.... its that smooth!
If you make the trip for the autobox update, a climate system upgrade is also good.
It makes the fans a lot less 'frantic'
-
Had mine done
Box changes more smoothly, and less often, especially on windy B roads
Car also feels faster & more responsive.
Highly recommended
Me & Mrs Jimbob both have meega's
When I booked it in, she was, what you doing that for, waste of time, wont make any difference,
She hadn't driven 1 mile after it had been done, and she wanted it done to hers!
-
I'll second tunnie's vote for the climate upgrade as well.
Makes the aircon a lot nicer, less aggressive & more effective :y

Pity you or Mark aren't coming to the Jockular meet, i'd be up for that.
Climate and Gearbox. Already spoke to Jim about it, that's why i was a bit miffed at missing the lakes meet. :-[

Maybe in the summer then when Jim gets the barbie out of storage.
It'd be worth it then, trust me. :y

Is your car prefacelift or minifacelift?
eg have you got steering wheel audio controls?
-

If the last letter of your VIN is W, then yes, its upgradable. If its V, then its pre mini facelift, and not updatable.

Had mine updated by T.B at the lakes meet. well worth it as said the Omega box is very smooth however after the update the changes are vertually seamless :y
-
Somebody please tell me :'(
I had my Gearbox Software Upgraded at The Not Wales Meet.
The main thing for me is that I honestly don't feel the gear changes, just watch the rev counter drop and realise its just changed...... I aren't joking
All in all its just far smoother :y

Not long after Loo-knee's was updated, his car was that fast he nearly soiled himself, not sure if that was down to the box or the driver though ;D :y

Yes Yes alright ::) ;D
Although I think the gearbox upgrade is worth recommending, getting in a car with Mark DTM isn't ;D

:o ;D ;D I was holding back a bit to......
I can do an upgrade for you and I am on the south side of Nottingham (West Bridgford).
