Hey, Snap-on, is there a VIN range for this update?

therm8 05-10-2005 04:08 PM

My question is: what happened to "O" ?? :cool:

Geez... who can keep up with this stuff? :eek:
I thought O will come after N, not P...looks like I learned the alphabet wrong :)
Also, what the heck is 37.3? :confused:
snap-on, any info what's different with this new flash? (provided if it really exists)

Represent the version of WDS Calibration Level supplied by Mazda to their dealers.

Kind of like software version 1.0, 1.1, etc.

I have no clue why they skipped "O"

I checked a car today and the WDS took it to the N3Z2E(P)

I didn't have time today to compare the PID's on a "N" to the new flash.

This should explain the "what the heck is 37.3" question

Nemesis8 05-10-2005 04:38 PM

Your killing me man...

I'm going by to talk to my little birdie on the way home

dmp 05-10-2005 04:40 PM

Maybe they skipped O because they don't want ppl to think it's a 0?

Either way, I can't begin to express how happy I'd be if this were even the 238hp flash - the 247hp flash? WOW!! :D

I agree on the skipping O thing because in the phone company we regularly skip O,and I because they look too much like zero's,and 1's.I guess I need to get to the dealer for the latest flash(I have M),and have them fix my taillights which have condensation behind the lens.

army_rx8 05-10-2005 04:48 PM

^hahaha tell me about it...wouldn't that be nice...i doubt it..but i can dream until i get it done :D

Nemesis8 05-10-2005 04:52 PM

Hey mods..maybe this can be put in the "Tech" section?

dmp 05-10-2005 05:30 PM

Better yet - have him practice, by re-flashing my car! :D How late does he stay there?

Nemesis8 05-10-2005 05:48 PM

Let's just say that "P" does not stand for power

Darin - answer your PM

Glyphon 05-10-2005 06:01 PM

you aren't going to share with the rest of us?

thats just mean :p

Even if he flashes the car he still has to log data with the old parameters and compare what they changed. :confused:

RotaryManiac 05-10-2005 06:15 PM

So its confirmed the p flash should be available? Please post differences in power after the reflash to p.

SAFD1450 05-10-2005 06:18 PM

This sucks I just had my car into the dealers last week for the N flash and so they could fix my tail light. I dont know how happy they will be to see my car again for the P flash

army_rx8 05-10-2005 06:19 PM

so what did it change? or what issue did it try to resolve.

zoom44 05-10-2005 06:44 PM

we'll know tomorrow or the next day what exactly its for but i can tell you its NOT power.

brillo 05-10-2005 10:11 PM

right now I'd settle for a slightly higher idle setting

dmp 05-10-2005 10:56 PM

PM answered.

Ajax 05-10-2005 11:02 PM

i should be able to find out what it does tomorrow.
my car will be getting it done (assuming I can convince them to let me talk to my mechanic).

Nemesis8 05-10-2005 11:24 PM

I would hold off and just get the "N" flash...

Ajax 05-10-2005 11:33 PM

Already have the N flash...
hrmm.. maybe i'll just ask what it does..

Nemesis8 05-10-2005 11:42 PM

Great idea :rolleyes:

thanks for popping the bubble :p
why can't it ever be for added power :confused:

max5roadster 05-11-2005 05:27 AM

Flashes revealed:

Q Flash- "Q"uieter, but needs more power
R Flash- "R"uns better, needs more power
S Flash- "S"moother, yet slow
..... Perhaps the Z Flash will be the one:

Z Flash- "Z"oom Zoom!

Or maybe not. Why do they tease me like this!

Mikelikes2drive 05-11-2005 06:00 AM

haha funny guy ^^^ hopefully P will do wonders... if not im not going in again for another flash!

Don't waste your time.. :confused:

Nemesis8 05-11-2005 09:24 AM

I talked to my mechanic last night, and he said this is not for power. It has something to due with climate control. He told me to stay on M or N. Some dealers will go ahead and flash your car without you knowing what you are getting, so please ask about any PCM related issues when you go in for service. I'll know more today after he looks into it better.

fray 05-11-2005 10:55 AM

Climate Control as in manual or automatic?

RevTo9K 05-11-2005 11:06 AM

Threads like this remind me just how LOST I'd be without this site. Looking forward to you gurus finding out more.

I'll say this, though, Mazda sure seems to be going to great lengths to get the PCM programming right. This stuff ain't free.
