I've been lurking for a while and really appreciate all of the information that everyone here has been providing and thusly educating me on my d. I went in to the dealership on Monday and had some work done. I asked about the update and I was told there was another EGR update but "other" software was updated too. Here's pdfs of what I have...

Post software update update
After driving the car around today I've noticed that the gear shift changes are SIGNIFICANTLY smoother and I highly recommend you guys checking into getting it done.

There's no point in doing a full update as there isn't a new module available over here for the gearbox.. Unless you want all the other updates that you may not notice.

Equipment is available over the inet. You can buy proper cable for around $800 and use your laptop. The other option is to contact some of the remote coders on the forum that have invested in that cable and pay them to remote code it. They will send you the cable and point you where to download the software required.

You really need to be careful with these types of updates. I really don't recommend doing them yourselves. There are issues where a straight update does not work properly requiring a reset to stock - initial values - and then updating multiple components in the right sequence. This happens to service depts at dealers and is why they won't just plug people in every time they are in for service. From what I have read, the reset process can be problematic, takes a long time and requires more than one update. If you don't know the sequence and don't have the intermediate versions you are SOL - tow it to the dealer with some explaining to do -> $$$. Not worth the risk IMO.
