I am not sure if this helps or not...but...I was at my local dealer Monday picking up a part and I asked the local Dinan guy if he would update my software as I heard there was a new version out. He said he was not sure if it was a new version or not but that he'd be happy to load it for me.
I have NO other upgrades on my car except the Dinan software which was first loaded in March of '01?
Anyways, he applied the update and sure enough my car now idles at 900 rpms as compared to 500-600 before the new software. I cannot really notice much difference in the car other than the idle. Maybe the benefits of the software are only evident when coupled with others mods like CAI/Exhaust???

Anyways, I figured I'd share.
