Default HCH II firmware updates?

Quick question on my 06' HCH II, I bought it used so I don't know the service history really, I think I read something about Honda releasing a software/firmware update for these cars but I don't know when it came our or if my car has it (it probably doesn't).

Anyone know? I was just at the dealership to collect some parts and I asked the guy there but he was clueless "cars have software..?? duhhh..." and I didn't have time to wait around to find someone with a clue....

thanks!

I have a 2006 HCH2 and nothing has been changed yet. I asked about this last time it was in for re-call and they said there were noon. H

There are differences between the '06 and '07-08 that affect the car's willingness to go into EV-assisted glide mode, AS, and a couple other things, but once you get the hang of paying attention to what your foot is doing, anything the new firmware would do for you automagically, you'll be able to do yourself.

Someday I might even beat that wascally kenny!
