What exactly is a Tech 2R and what are DTC's? Does this Tech 2R come with the two update discs?

Thanks a bunch Shopdog. Now I'm really wondering how some members are saying they are doing this upgrade themselves. I can't imagine they have the high priced scanner so I guess they are just taking a chance.

Would it be possible for someone to host a place where we can download the discs ourselves? I don't see why this would be illegal when it is necessary to fix a device we own. And besides, who really likes to take their car to the service department? Any ideas on how this could be handled? Just putting this out for discussion...

Had my update done yesterday and watched the process at my local dealership. Pretty simple to do and the TechII showed no codes after the update so I was in and out in under an hour
My paperwork has it listed under warranty repair N/C.

My upgrade disks came yesterday. I finally got the nerve to try the install today. All went smoothly. After the install I got and MP3 disk that I burned last year to try with no luck. When I put it in today the screen came up saying loading disk. Then shortly it began to play. My C6 was built mid-December 04 VIN 11987.
