Just got flashed

Took my car to fix my rolling idle on cold start problem and decided to take a chance and go for the latest available flash , well yeah baby :D my ride is faster smoother and crisper , even with the CZ switched off i will run with it for a few days before i re-boot the CZ unit and see if the difference is as pronounced as it was with the older flash

The WDS would not display the flash file number for me but its definetely worth while getting .
This NEW FLASH WAS DOWNLODED VIA THE INTERNET IT DID NOT COME AS A FILE FROM MAZDA

I'm thinking about taking my 30K service to my own mechanic.

But then is there a way to find out if there is a newer flash than the

one currently on my car besides buying the scanalyser to check?

So it was flashed by the WDS?

You need to get Caio to plug in his sCANalser and get the CALID

Cheers,

I am really dissapointed with the flash update the dealer did for me last week. My Hymee'd exhaust has been emasculated! It sounds really muted and has lost all the burble and popiness that was there before. Sure there is probrably slightly better fuel consumption figures and maybe a little bit more power but I have lost so much more. Boo hoo
I wonder if you can undo it?

A poster on the wall at my Mazda dealer advertises that all models are automatically checked for newer flash updates at the time of service. I'll check again next week when I take mine in for the flooding fixit work.

Not at the moment. Not even your dealer can undo it without jumping through a huge amount of hoops.

Yes that was the "G". Two flashes after that will be a new flash presumably.

There is no updated flash details? Would that be related to the heat issue?... I guess you don't know. :o

I wonder if anyone else has been to the dealer recently and has asset to a sCANalyser.
