C5 Active Handling Software Upgrade
Is there anyway to upgrade the active handling software to the latest and greatest? Where there actual component changes, or was it just software?
For example, a 2000 and want the 2002 updates.
Anybody done that before?
Thanks,
D.

The hardware has changed and the new software is not compatible with the older system.
I recently had my car in to have the passenger window repaied. I asked them to check the PCM programing for updates. They did and flashed my PCM with the new software.. not sure what got updated.

I had the software updated for my 2001 last month.
The update made the active handling and the traction control less sensitive and they recover more quickly. :cheers:

Is it a common thing to update your software? Is it something you would go to the dealer for specifically to have done or just in conjunction with other problems?

I had service done just for this issue.
The local dealer takes very good care of the Vetts, which are in for service.
This is the service bulliten covering the software update.

A new service calibration is available for this condition. This calibration is available from Techline starting September 2001, on the TIS 2000 version TIS 10/2001 data update or later. Reprogram the PCM with the new calibration.
