Got the latest June '10 software update!
After seeing a recent post about on cleanmpg.com for a June '10 release of new engine/battery management software, I had the update done this morning on my '09 HCH. Anyone else?
I'll report back here as I have a chance to observe the changes, and please feel free to do the same.
My drive home is a 2-mile uphill climb. In the past, a full charge at the start of the climb would leave me with 3-4 bars of charge remaining at the top of the hill. However, after today's update, I had an unprecedented and astounding SIX bars of charge remaining. I hope that it's a sign of things to come!

Steve,
My dealer near Buffalo, NY is not always "up on the latest" in hybrid technology. Is this usually a free service from a Honda dealer? Thanks and good luck.

Donald, thanks for your reply – I was surprised that this topic has not received other comments. The three updates were covered under warranty.

I have had one up-date with the software on my 2006. After that update I have been very happy with how my IMA is managed. Also my FE is way improved. I had this update in Jan this year. I have been reluctant to ask for more ,as some folks have not been happy with the results! I am very happy with my HCH2. H

Called my dealer asking if there are any for my car. They claim none, according to Honda's system and per my Vin number. I did have TSB9-58 done a while back, but that was last year. Hmm, how do I get them to flash this years' updates in???
On a related note, finally found a gas station not using E10 and my drive home went from 42 to 48-50mpg

I had a similar story. When I did my oil change a few weeks ago, I asked about any updates. "Nothing." Then I saw a post on cleanmpg.com with a reference and invoice for the updates. I emailed my service advisor, and he said to bring it in. The updates were dated June 10, I believe, so it might be chalked up to mere (?) ignorance.

Steve, was there any US opcode/update number they've referred to this software by? I am looking at MSantos's receipt form Canada but that does not seem to ring any bells with my dealership in Upstate NY
