I agree with Boozehound. A simple software upgrade, (which could be made available over the web) would go a long way towards customer loyalty and good will. I buy a lot of software in my business, I expect a certain number of free upgrades and/or patches, especially when newer software is released shortly after a purchase of the older version.
As software becomes a major integral component of the vehicle (I don't know if you've seen the service manual, it reads for like a software manual), this is going to be more of a problem.
If I could get a line on where to purchase the software, I'd do it. I know how to insert a cd/dvd and bootstrap a computer.
I'd also love to get a copy of the WDS software referred to in the maunual to "tinker" with the on-board systems.
Anyone know a source for these software items other than the dealer?
I have a Kal-Kwip OBDII Scanner that reads the newer CAN chipset, however, although it reads the DTC's and sensor outputs, I havent been able to query some of the on-board systems to say, reprogram for additional keys, reset the transmission, etc. (if for some reason I ever wanted to.)
While I was at the dealer, inspecting the progress on my car (little to none because of waiting for parts) I inquired about installing the MazdaSpeed flywheel. The tech told me that after the mechanical installation, the transmission had to be "reset" and th only way to do that is with the WDS software. If that's true, so much for my home garage!!
Like I said I'd love to get my hands on the software. Who would it hurt? Its not like I'm going to go into business serviceing Rx-8's.
