Tried it last night and connect it back again this morning :surprised: No difference, but maybe a little..... not sure but my mind tells me it is slightly better :confused:

They did a software update on my 2010 GU last year and it was really better. I was told that there was some issue with the "software" and it tends to loose some "data" which in turn causes a loss in power - this was a call back from Nissan! Maybe something to look into? :mytwocents:

Can anyone verify that there could be a software update that could be applied to slightly earlier versions 4.8 etc.
If I go to my local dealer they give me a very blank stare...
