I'll post you up a map of all the modules next time I get a "loaded" one in here. It's kinda cool if youve never seen one. All those acronyms...

If it had been for all R/Ts I would've expect more complaints on this forum, or even if it was only for '12 R/Ts, or all '12s.
Maybe TNTech can shed some light on this . . .?

The particular updates depend on the build configuration of the car. The scan tool software pulls the updates according to the VIN. They need to hook up to it and see which ones are available to know for sure.

The ones that are available at new car inspection are done then. Most of them come out after the fact.
