SW update quick review

Smoother Powerband
Improved idle
Noticeably louder idle

That's it.

Hmm, my idle seems louder. Definitely noticing the tip-in and my DCT shift "pop" isn't as loud. It seems tamed. I'm not a fan of the software update. The only reason I went ahead with it was because I was having a rough idle and stalled twice when pulling into a parking space, with DCT. I couldn't have that... so I went ahead and had it updated. Ugh.

Just had mine done 2 days ago. I do notice a louder idle along with a bit more back pressure poppin<-----not a bad thing. The car does pull off smoother but to me it doesn't feel like it's loss power just delivered in a less jarring manner. I've run mine top to bottom from the back roads to a 140 mph autobahn run. I really can't say it's changed anything that would cause me to complain. By the way I'm stock and driving a 6MT.

I think with the DCT the changes will be more noticeable. That's just a guess though.

^ This is the trend I've seen between the couple of threads out there.
