whomever got this done for $50 (cant recall who) must have been doing extra favors for the service manager
No. I had to educate the SA on what the install includes (he was charging for air intake install as well) and that it is crazy for anyone to pay over 50$ for a software update (especially after all of the coding I have done). Took about 10 minutes of actual labor to hook the car up to the computer, hit update and then put two stickers on. Charging any more for time to download (took them all day) and install (the computer worked for about an hour) is crazy.
