seriously... takes half an hour to update the 4 main modules in the car, $70 max.
amazing how many other dealers scare off their customers with ridiculous pricing for stuff that should be done as part of general servicing.
sh#ts me off cos cos gives the dealers who actually help their customers a bad name.

Unless theres issues with the car the updates dont give you anything worth paying for.

I was charged about $200 at Heartland Parramatta and it didn't do jack.

I was told "should" fix the stability control flashing up, the climate control being too softly-softly, and a few other niggles.

Like I said it didn't do anything.

Sounds like the ESP issue is common. Mine seems to occur when approaching 1 particular round about in certain conditions.

Go figure.
