How much are the dealers charging for the reflash. B/c from the other forum it sounded like a hondata reflash not a honda of america reflash.

Not really a repost (well, sorta kinda ), but I'm not sure I believe it's actually available. Half the dealerships in the country know nothing about it and those that do, which is a handful at best, are saying it only applies to certain VIN's.

That's because it's not. Hondata is NOT Honda. However, Hondata is offering Honda's reflash implemented into their reflash for basically the price of shipping them your ECU.

HONDATA HAS FIXED THE THROTTLE HANG AMONG OTHER IMPROVEMENTS IN THEIR REFLASH...might be worth checking them out and just upgrading. I believe the info is on their site. I saw this either on this site or fgcoupe

Do us a favor and post it here. I'm kinda interested in what it actually says and whether it affects all Si's or just a few.

Ditto! I am interested to see if this would be a required Flash or just optional and if anyone would benefit.

I called another dealership in the meantime and they also haven't heard anything yet.
