It's a baby one. Mostly a strategy change. 5 mins tops.
I believe the 7.0.0 update consisted of PSCM, CCM, IPMA, and CMR again so it makes sense that the CMR module is there again.
Enlighten me on something, please. Did the job 1 MME's have an issue like the ICE trucks did with the old Sync software that would prevent them from getting updates unless the APIM was manually updated or swapped out (Sync versions 20262/20301)? Or were you guys spared from that hell hole?
Yes...you're referring to what happened with the notorious OTA 1.7.1 where everybody got "stuck" afterwards. My '21 model had to have the APIM replaced in Feb of '22 for that reason. They didn't have the procedure to side-load in and clear out the data corruption until months after that.
I can tell you they have not done any module programming since the last time I checked your car mid January. On 1/22, they pulled the workshop manual that shows how to replace the TCU. i am guessing they are still waiting for the parts to arrive.
Thanks. It would be nice if they were at least more open and instead of saying "we're still working on your car" they could have said "we're still waiting on parts" and it would make a little more sense! I did call them on day 5 after ordering parts and they said parts still hadn't shown up, but they had me scheduled for yesterday to perform the work. Sounds like probably nothing happened yesterday. Just a little more transparency would be nice, I spent a lot of money on this car and 25% of the time I've owned it (4 months) it's been in the shop.
IMO? If there are no issues, replacing both and programming can be done in one day. As a dealership employee, I doubt that will happen. Once the parts arrive, the entire dealer isn't going to stop what they're doing to work on your car. The job will be put in the queue for the tech assigned to work on your car and he will get to it when he gets to it based on whatever other open tickets he has to close out before getting to yours.
Got it. I understand they aren't just going to drop everything to work my car. That's how I took it when they scheduled me for yesterday - was that they were expecting the parts to show up Monday this week at the latest (based on the 5 days) then they scheduled the tech to work on it a few days later in case parts showed up a bit late. Sounds like maybe they are expecting more delays for the parts.
Ah. Not sure why the would have asked you to bring it in if all parts were still not there. Hard to say as different dealers work differently. At my store, we'll say it takes longer then we expect to account for complications. Better to look like heroes if we get it out sooner than have to explain why it's not ready when we said it would be.
Yeah, that all makes sense. I have no idea the state of my car if they took things apart already or what. I initially took it in for HVBJB recall and asked them to look at these other issues I've been seeing. HVBJB has been fixed since Jan 16. It took them about a week to diagnose the other issues and order the APIM and TCU, so maybe they had to pull stuff apart in their diagnosis?
