thanks michael. i was getting stressed out about it. mainly b/c ive had my car 6months and now the dealer cant correct what should be an easy fix.
I do feel like they are leaving out some info in all this. This wasn't a firmware update (as far as I know)??
ill take a deep breatch the next time i have to get into the rental

yeah...the idea that they took the dash apart TWICE really concerns me....btw, its not the 62mile bug. They said the IMA isn't displaying the correct info. ie. it isnt showing me when the battery is being charged or used correctly...

BTW, the part that they ordered for me was a computer CD with the new program for the tachometer module on it.
this was an upgrade or was it part of Honda's recall? Probably when all is said and done this whole process will take a week. If there is an upside to all this, I have definately realized how much I heart my car (and miss it......)

Seems pretty ridiculous that they can't perform system upgrades w/o taking out the entire dash?

I'll let yall know what (if any) updates I get....
