I will seriously look into it. I'll need to get the schematics and pictures of the internals to see what kind of ROM they are using (e.g., EEPROM, etc.). I don't think it should be too painful if the unit is flashable but I am only presuming right now.

I have contacted one of my dealerships to see if I can get any inside scoop. Will let you know.

I don't like the way the transmission upshifts going down hills in S+ mode.

I actually hate HontoKuro's GS. He made me hate his GS. It's no doubt a piece of crap. I'm glad he owns that POS car and not me.

So I am now a troll because I don't agree or dislike certain aspects of the GS and not agree with you? If that makes you feel better sleeping at night then be it. You clearly haven't read any of my other positive aspects I have noted in several posts.

The lack of a spot to place a cell phone mount and no sunglass compartment. It would be nice if the vehicle would auto lock when walking away from the car. stop and go mileage.

On the other hand the good FAR outweighs the bad. Love the comfort, handling, get up and go, interior and exterior appearance, overall value.

I wish you could see "odo" and one of the "trip" meters at the same time

I just got my 2013 this past Tuesday. So far I think the WORST thing ever for this car is that there no LOCKING gas door. Anybody could put sugar in my tank. Why would they not have a locking door?

When you lock the car and I think don't have the key on you the gas door is locked.

When you lock your car's doors you also lock the gas door too.

yup if your gas door not locked im sure you have bigger problems than someone adding sugar like the insides or the car not being back when you return lol

Hate having to say "yes" after giving a voice command.
