That's because people are always cocking about when Hondata will do that and when it will do this. Those guy are tired of being bogged. If they can do it, they will..... They are the ones making $$$ on this.

You'd think they would do the opposite and create some good hype. Maybe even a "work in progress list".

in my opinion, they would make more money by spending their time on other things than a reflash for 07-08 tsx's. maybe thats why they are taking so long for 07-08s.

they are better off developing stuff for the new 2nd gen tsx. i'm not saying that 07-08s should be forgotten, its just that there are better and more profitable alternatives to developing a reflash for 07-08s.

they obviously have their own timetable, priorities, and development cycles. so all of this is really just hypothesizing.

you say it's not as profitable to develop for the 07/08 because of newer models. one could argue that conversely, it might be easy profit to develop something since they've said the wiring diagrams show that 06ecu's can at least run an 07/08. so to some degree, the ecu's are similar, but not exactly the same.

of course if they're just shifting over to flashpro for all newer hondas/acuras, sure, there is probably more money to be made with that if the development cycle for each car is easier/faster.

i can't find the thread, but i think someone that participated in that huge reflash group buy said that they are working on the 07/08. i don't know if they were just blowing steam or for real.

yeah i'm just speculating. it would be cool if you 07-08 guys could reflash, but there seems to be "something" getting in the way, whether it is hondata's decision or something to do with how the 07-08 ecus are.

[xjohnkdoex]

well, the immobilizer system has an additional unit involved for the 07/08's versus earlier years. usually you have the key, immobilizer and the ecu sending signals to each other. the 07/08 seems to have an additional IMOES unit in the dashboard that's also involved. maybe that's the issue. who knows. someone on the other forum already said the TPMS has nothing to do with it. it's its own stand alone system.

It easier to say that when your year already has Hondata, but I know what your saying. But in IMO if they skip 07-08 and go straight to the 09's it would look lazy, and I would feel kinda ripped off.

Why would that be crazy? They did it to the Civic Si's. Oh and why would u be ripped off? its not like they take the money and leave u there lol

Maybe they are still working on the Si's too LOL. I'm not literally getting ripped off, but metaphorically. If Hondata skipped the 04-06 wouldn't you guys feel left out too? This is all assuming that they are not doing anything for the 07-08.

It is not like you guys are so dear to them and they rush to save your lives with a reflash, It is business, man. if you want them to do it so badly, it does not mean they want it too so badly.They have different priorities or perhaps it really is too hard for them to brak into those ECU's. We do not know..... And I was left out since mine is 05 auto, but then both reflash and K-pro came for the rescue. Ah what a happy day that was Too bad you have not lived throught that

i'm not talking smack or saying they shouldn't reflash 07-08. i'm just speculating on why hondata is taking so long. if i had an 07, i would have said the same thing.

i know this isn't fair, but hondata is a company and one of their main goals is to make money. in order to make money, they'll make decisions that aren't always fair to everyone.

[fanbanlo]

someone else should start hacking ecu..

open source the ecu code.

[juri]

Someone should talk to Marcus LOL.

[kuma912]

I have an 07 and I'm being patient.
