it will probly cost you more to get it flashed at the dealer, if they even do it, than to buy a used MTX pcm.
you can get them for around $50 at a junk yard, sometimes less.
find one from an r/t if you can, they have a little more agressive tuning

The dealer will not "flash" the PCM to upgrade it. Thats what the Mopar PCM is for.
