Softwear update
I read that Rorie had a software update that he said gave his new C63S a better shifting algorithm. And maybe fixed or improved other things
Since JPMBenz seems to be able to find everything and anything about this car could he:or would you JP?
1. Find the service bulletin or update number on this and
2. find out how we know if our car has the new software
Good Software can make or break a car nowadays
thanks

This is interesting. So the current MCT is near DCT quality already. Is this an "improvement" to increase that quality or is this a "fix" for the cars out there lacking the initial expected quality? I think most would hope for the former (improvement) and not the latter (fix). If its the latter, that means your shift quality may be worst than the previous generation C63.

From what I read on his thread..... in manual mode it when decelerating in a higher gear, the car would FAIL to shift into lower gears UNTIL you stopped....... not good.
This was to fix this.

I can try but I cannot guarantee it. These kinds of updates are usually done when the cars are hooked up to our computers. I heard updates actually started rolling out last month...

I took my car to the dealer this morning for the Pano roof shade jam problem. I asked the service writer to check for new transmission software. He said generally they don't check for new software unless there is a specific customer complaint or a check engine light. He agreed he would investigate in this case.
I'll update when I get the car back.

I'm still not following this explanation. The car would surely stall if it were stuck in, say 5th gear, until you stopped.
