They claim that is allows you to Launch at 4100rpm. Is this software similar to what the Europeans get for their SMG? I was thinking it maybe safer to try this than to download and override the USversion with the European version of software like I have read about on the forum.
Just curious as to anybody's experience with this. Thanks

From what I gathered, but haven't confirmed, is that a couple people bricked their TCU, and at least one sent it back to ESS and got the ESS Flash done. What I don't know is if it cost them MORE than if they had just sent it without the problems. If it cost the same, then I'm probably going to give the flash a shot myself, knowing that plan 'B' is the ESS flash.

Sorry for being lazy but what was the actual cost of this software update.
ESS Website shows $695, but I don't know if the guys that bricked their TCU had to pay more or not. That's what I would like to find out. If no more, then it is no risk, if you plan on sending in the TCU anyway.

Only asking as my car will be there in Jan for SC install so may take the oportunity to install this whilst there.
I would definitely have it done if getting the SC kit! Sweet! You may ask them if that is included in the kit - I don't think it is, but you never know - could be part of the SC Flash. That will be sweet!

The launch control is similar to the Euro version. The shift firmness increase is not.
