I JUST GOT IT......

well i just got the reflash from work today. i heard we got the update and passed by earlier to get it done. i have to say that this reflash is a must for people who can't stand the feel of the DBW. i personally didn't have a problem with it before but now i wish that my car came like this from the factory.
the hesitation is gone when u press the gas and the rpms don't hang when u come off the gas. it almost feels like ur driving a car with cable instead of DBW. when u shift u can come off the gas and press it without any hesitation at all. it's great i'm so excited that i finally have a new upgrade for my car, even tho it doesn't make it faster.

Is Honda going to fix this for the 07 SI models? and if not could you take it to the dealer so they can reflash it?

07 models come with the reflash I believe. Some newer 06's also came with the reflash I think.

I guess I don't understand what this is for, and why they do it, and why I should do it?

I can't imagine it not being free from the dealership. It's a reflash to correct a problem with the ECU, how could they charge for that as long as the car is under warranty? Hondata charges for it even if you've gotten their reflash because they're third party and still need to keep the previous reflash they've installed for you. But a Honda dealership installing a Honda reflash on a Honda ECU because of a Honda programming issue, that should definitely be free.

Where have you people been?

Yes it's a free re-flash from any Honda dealership.

Yes it comes out Aug 1.

Yes it fixes the REV hang and dbw lag of the 2006 honda civic si.

called my dealership to. They acted like I was speaking another language. Said they heard nothing of a reflash.
