Surely it's not so much the software (which I presume can/was updated) but more so the hardware which I again presume cannot be so easily updated.
If the hardware is the same, can't you update the software so that it is the same as well?
Makes a big difference. Mine sat with battery off for a while and for some reason defaulted back to standard. I could really tell the difference, especially when it was reset back to 4.7....night and day.As an aside ... for those who want faster gear changes but don't want to install a FD DBW, you can get some improvement by adjusting the PIS using the Ferrari/Maserati diagnostic tool.
Before I had my DBW installed, I had the PIS set to just under 5.0, which was pretty snappy. I think some people have gone as low as 4.6.
(Apologies to those who know this already, but I'm sure there are some newbies and a few oldies who don't.)
