Default A6 reprogramming

I want to know if anyone has had an 06 A6 tranny reflashed to the 09 programming and does it make any differance in shifting?

He has his own tuning parameters, nothing really to do with the '09 settings, if that is what Tony is asking.

I've had my 06 A6 tuned by Chuck CoW. It's by far the best mod you could do. The difference in shifting is very noticeable and it makes using the steering wheel shifter paddles more fun.

With the Cow tune do you get the rev matching blip downshifts like the new vettes?

Is it possible for the dealer to update an 08 with 09 programming?

Call me any time and I'll explain.

Yes, I usually update the 06/07 cars with the 08 GM operating system.

In addition to that, My A6 calibration is truly amazing. Not only does it have the power maximized, but the trans is ALWAYS in the right gear at the right time and unlike other (GM or otherwise) tunes it VERY EASILY backshifts with light throttle to what ever gear is most appropriate for how you are driving at the moment.

It's VERY slick.
