Wow....sounds like all pros. I'm going to call the dealer as I have to go in and get my replacement fobs eventually. Thanks a lot for the details.
 
That's certainly my experience, zero cons. I'd love to hear from someone else who has done the upgrade. There's a thread on another forum dedicated to this car that I've been reading when I have the time, but it's so full of muck / repetative debate on wether they're flashing 07 ECUs to 08 Code or not. Scratch that. I skipped ahead 5 pages and it's full of more glowing responses.
 
Such as:
The car is still powerful but now much better-mannered.... no more jerky response on the throttle. As another poster stated..."a more linear response" describes it very well. This definitely does not mean it is docile or dull, though.
 
Certainly, I would recommend the TSB be implemented.

 
and
 
FINALLY got my CC TSB done. I love the results. Throttle response is more linear.
 
The car still gets up and goes when you want it to. You just have more CONTROL now. Two thumbs up!!
 
Also, I should note that throttle response feels identical to the 2008 sedan that I drove and torque converter lockup is more smooth.
 
This TSB actually fixed a coupe other problems I had (thud when accelerating from a stop and when on and off the gas at 40 mph).
 
Maybe it's a "cure all" for the 2007 quirks.

 
My advice is to advise your dealer you're bringing it in for the TSB for cruise control (fax them a copy if you have to) and if you have ICC to have them order the sensor BEFORE you bring it in as they likely won't have the sensor for ICC in stock (took 3 days to get mine) and turned what's otherwise a 2 - 3 hour affair into 4 days without my baby!
 
It's still totally worth doing though!

Sorry if I am asking a repeat question but what exactly is the ECU update? Is there a TSB about it? If so is there a specific TSB # I can refer to or get a copy of the TSB somewhere?
 
I just had my '07 G35x in for routine service and had mentioned both surging while in cruise control (which they will fix by ordering a new computer chip for the cruise control system) and the erratic behavior of the car during heavy use of the throttle - they told me this is a common problem which has no fix as of now - is this not true? It sounds like this ECU update could fix this problem....
 
Thanks for any information you can provide.

TSB for Cruise Control surging
 
This is a very new TSB. Released at the end of October, some dealerships might not be aware of it. I'd recommend printing it out and taking it with you.

LOL... I'm here, just enjoying the back seat.
Looks like this one is under control.
 
I posted the original information on the TSB but I myself have not gotten back down to the dealer to have it done yet.
I figure I'm better off letting those with the TSB work done take the driver's seat on this one.

Leave the Radio on after parking by meadoel

Often times I've gotten to my destination and want to turn off the engine, but want to leave the radio or Bluetooth active. Is there a way to shut the engine off but leave on all accessories? In my previous car I could shift into Neutral before pressing the START button and it would shut the engine down and leave the accessories on.

just press the start button after the engine is off, without pressing gas button

If I do that it shuts off the radio & Bluetooth and I have to wait a few seconds for them to come back on. For the radio it's no big deal, but if I'm on a call that could be problematic.

If you figure out a way to leave bluetooth on while shutting down the motor, let me know. Right now, I don't know of anyway to do that, so I typically leave the car running. This means sitting outside of my garage if I'm on the phone.
