The 06's may have the new software from the factory. Someone else might be able to confirm. I have had 3 SRS malfunctions. Maybe a weak link, huh?

I had to have mine reflashed. I have an 06 manufactured in October 05. from what I have heard is if the car was manufactured after jan 06, it doesn't need the infamous "REFLASH"

After my reflash the car was down on power but after driving it for a week it seems most if not all the power has come back. I will find out later next week when I take it to the Dyno.
