Software Upgrade and new Battery.

I just got my Software upgrade with new manual and better Battery upgrade on my 08 passion.. No cost to me ..This is a very SMART way to say " Thanks for buying Smart.
This is a great improvement on transmission shifting in manual and auto mode.
I am very happy with the service at Smart center Indianapolis.

Call your dealer, ask them if your car qualifies for any of the upgrades.
Trans flash
Battery
ECU Flash
VIN sticker replacement
Replacement Owners Manual

I think I hit them all, anyway, just ask.

I just called my smart center in Milwalkee about my 10K service and asked about the upgrades. He asked If I had recieved my letter yet. Well since we have one of the last 08's Im sure I wount be the first to get the letter.
So I told him no, but I want to get it all done at once since Im making the trip up.
He looked up my updates. Reprogam, Battery, Label, Manual. He will do it when I come in in a week and 1/2.
So I ask, have you done any of these yet and NO he hasn't yet.
But since they were not one of the first smart centers open they may be a little behind the rest.

I have an appointment for next Friday, they said to make sure you bring in your owners manual as they want to get them off the streets I guess, must be a preceived liability issue.
