    Just a warning to the 06 owners. There is a new flash available to update your dash cluster. It is the "AI" flash and supposedly corrects something with how cruise control is displayed.

    It is TERRIBLE. I lost my tire pressure info (it changed to just "OK", no longer showed all 4 corners), oil pressure and temp read outs (changed to "OK"), and I could no longer do the key dance to retrieve codes.

    A BIG thanks to JonW here in SoCal for helping me get mine flashed back to the "AH" file. Everything is back to normal now, but I thought you guys would want to know.

    Yikes. That's got to be some sort of screw up and not for our cars? They do have the OK/NOT OK TPM system for cars that don't have the location sensors. I can't believe they'd whack all that info from the display for the SRT8's?

    Thanks for the heads up though. (got a standing note on my service record at dealer "No updates unless authorized")

    No provision for the TPMs that I saw, but we have found a way around them. If you set the car to export mode, there is an option to turn them off in the StarScan/Mobile.

    I have a feeling that the list you found was outdated. My car has had the AH cluster flash for at least 2 years.

    It would be REALLY nice if they would update the '06 versions to have the 0-60 timer...


    Were you hoping to get this when you did the update?
