today i received an email from infiniti informing me there is a software update available for my car. It is complimentary and i searched around here and think i gathered that its pretty much an ECU update (https://www.myg37.com/forums/g37-sed...cu-update.html and https://www.myg37.com/forums/g37-cou...6mt-fix-2.html). Am i wrong, and if not is this all it is going to do? just wondering if this is something worth doing or if its just a waste and something infiniti does to try to get me to get other stuff done.

 

IMHO, I wouldn't let them do any flash to my car unless I had a problem with something and they assured me the flash would help.

 

When they reprogram the ECM as per a TSB, do they just update to the latest?

I was reading ITB10-010b (****ty battery, trouble starting) and noticed it never specifies what ECM to update too. I cross referenced this with ITB08-028a, and its the same idea, doesn't tell you what ECM to update too, just which parts too update.

I am thinking if/when they update or reprogram the ECM, it is updated to the latest at that time. Does anyone have some inside info on this, I'd love to know.

A few months ago I had ITB10-10b done and was told the ECM had been reprogrammed, as a result I am thinking the reprogram required for ITB08-028a is no longer necessary. Thoughts?

 

Post #2 hits the nail on the head. Unless you're actually experiencing a problem the update addresses directly, refrain from any updates. This actually applies to anything that is software/firmware driven. Updated software is on occasion more buggy than that it replaces (garmin comes to mind on this one quite often with their pnd firmware updates).

 

But what I'm askin is is that what they mean by software update? Lol. I mean I'm assuming yes but was wondering if anyone else got the email or had it done
