Confirmed, new 7G software works
Flashed my transmission the other day and now with a few miles on the meter I can confirm that it works, the 2-3 jerk is gone, unfortunately I was in a bit of a rush when I installed it so I forgot to take a screenshot of the software version, but the latest available SW should be this one.

Software will be updated under warranty if you complain of a fault that could be related to it. If you just ask for new software for no reason you may need to pay for their time.

I did go into my dealer and complained about wonky shifts. The service mgr said that there is an update to the transmission, no mention of version. So the dealers know, or, should know. Said it will take about 3-4 hours, so I was going to get my 300 detailed. And, I could get a loaner while having this done. i mention this because US car dealers have gotten away form this for the past decade or 2.

thanks Vic Viper. have been away on vacation for two weeks.
called the dealer, and booked an appointment for next thursday. They said there was a service bulletin also regarding fuelpump, and i had to come in with low gas in the tank.

Mine has the latest sw, it's still jerky at times. But better. It's still not as smooth as id want and expect. Acceptable when warm but when cold it can still feel snatchy.

"1. Central Locking System (Keyless Go) sometimes does not detect fob. Found fault code U016887 communication malfunction. Available update performed, fault codes cleared.
2. Gas pumps shut off while fueling car. Installed 001 470 13 93 shut off valve for fuel system vent line.
3. Performed software update to the Engine Control Unit."
In my case, the Keyless Go software update completely resolved all of the intermittent issues I had been having. The ECU update resulted in somewhat smoother shifting, but nothing else I can feel.
All dealers are supposed to routinely check for software updates, TSB's, and campaigns whenever a car is in for service. For anyone at any dealer to say that isn't so is simply wrong.

When a car comes in one of the first things that is done should be a VMI. If there is an open Service or Recall Campaign on the vehicle, it will be flagged on the VMI and should be added as an additional line to the RO.
When a technician is addressing a complaint (we will use a trans complaint for example) the first thing to do would be check fluid level and condition and drive the vehicle to verify the complaint. Following this the tech should run a quick test on the vehicle, review trans adaption data, and generate the EEPROM data for review by MB if needed.
At this point they should have verified it and begin to look for LI's (TSB). If there is one available fitting the complaint they would carry out the repair as per the LI.
A tech may elect to check if there is a SW update however they won't check every control unit in the vehicle, only the component with the complaint.

the car is at the dealer workshop today. a new action is required regarding the fuelpump. they will try to fix this, and then they will check for updates for the 7G tronic. the car had Service A done in early July, and there was no new update for the transmission at that time. i hope the update exists and i can finally get rid of the bad 2nd to 3rd shifts.
