The service manager I spoke to says that if they flash a car which doesnt fall in the range, Honda wont pay them for it.

The guy above still got it done. I think you need to find the right service manager and convince them that you have a driveability problem with your car that needs to be addressed.

One dealer wouldn't even hook up their HDS to my car until I was like, "OK, give me Honda of America's main number" and I started calling them standing in the dealership with a bunch of customers around. They didn't pick up, but I still started talking like they were on the phone.

I was like, "Yes, this dealership won't fix my car, I have the service bulletin here, and it's under warranty." Immediately, they went and got their HDS and hooked it up.

Of course, I fall into the VIN range though. I am sure if you employ similar tactics, you could get SOMEONE to fix your ride.
