Geez... who can keep up with this stuff?
I thought O will come after N, not P...looks like I learned the alphabet wrong
Also, what the heck is 37.3?
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

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.
