For the record after a short test drive I can affirm that the updated flash was successful and the gas gage seems to at least steady. It's just above E while the fuel % reads 40%. But no glitches as far as I could tell.

Thanks John!

I flashed my car without any issues with the file I received yesterday for the automatics. The same bugs are there on mine as well. The A/F ratio display lags a bit. I compared it with my Torque app and its about a second or two behind it. I think it probably has something to do with the rate that the info is refreshed on the display. The refresh rate seems about the same as the stock mpg display. Also the fuel tank level display is jumping around a lot and when you come to a stop it is blank. As far as the gas needle acting up I have been only putting in 1-2 gallons in at time because I'm waiting for the e85 map to fill up so I've been on E for the last 2 days so until I fill up I can't comment on that. The tune that was sent had "stock intake" in the file name and I have a Injen installed. Though I haven't had any bogging issues with this tune it doesn't feel as responsive on the low end as the tune I had before this that was done for us who had an aftermarket intake installed. I know John mentioned a few post back that he will adjust it after getting some data logs so I'm not worried about it. I have been thinking about just going back to the stock intake anyway but I'm going to wait until I get the e85 tune first and see how it feels. Not sure how the rest of you guys feel but I could do without the display option for now and give it time for the bugs to get worked out. Even though us auto guys don't get all the goodies you manual guys get I'm happy just to have map switching on the fly (for e85 of course )

And no issue with the tach?

You mentioned before that you had errors with the fuel gauge.. I have gone through a few tanks since the updated tune with no glitches in fuel read out.

Curiouser and curiouser

No probs with the tach, at all, not sure if the fuel gauge is working correctly or not, now. It stopped jumpin' around on the way back from Disneyland, but it's reading lower than I would expect after only around 70 miles of driving. /shrug
