[QUOTE="Colt Hero, post: 5356, member: 124"] One thing I've VERY certain of is the tech doesn't have the slightest clue as to what he's loading. His knowledge begins and ends with the high-level description displayed on his screen. But c'mon - a version number is not too much to ask for, I don't think. One problem I COULD see is there may be MANY version numbers in use out there (even across the same make and model), and giving out or displaying these numbers could cause confusion among customers as they begin to 'compare notes'. Still - I'd like to see SOMETHING. How 'bout a friggin' timestamp that shows a re-load of a particular software program?? They could surely do at least THAT !! Also, I'd really love to see how many different software programs they have and how many different versions of these programs exist (and how many vehicles are running with each version). You'd like to think that at least within a given year, make, and model everybody is running the exact same software ... but I'd bet that's not the case (which, if true, would be sad)... [/QUOTE]
