OEM DCT Software

Curious how I can find out if I have the latest DCT image on my 2011 and if not do the dealers charge to flash this?

Thanks

The dealer can check your DME version, and yes, they can update it if necessary (usually charge one hour of labor).

Why do you need new DCT software?

Get a DCT tune. Best smiles per dollar you will spend on your car plus it will definitely be updated to 240 or whatever the latest update is.

I had read the DCT had some updates but wasn't sure if it stopped at the 2011 models and as a second owner, was just curious if it would have had the latest software ...

Like the guys says, a dealer can read your key to determent sw version in a blink. Depending on what month the car is build they will read out something like ISTA/P - 2.41.0 - E89X-11-03-501 (not updates list but you get the drift, https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=797020

This include a number of different modules i.e. ECU, DCT etc etc. I did a complete update on all modules. Not sure even the dealer can separate but their tool simply update where new sw is available. If you're on original I suggest its def worth doing although the dealer usually are hesitant.

Oh, and if on original sw it will take a number of hours to get updated (x their rate).
