Hey guys I'm looking to get another Sti.
My question is if you were to send your sti to get it updated would they not turn it into a A7M9.
because the guy said he just sent it to get it updated 2 weeks ago ,so I asked him what the firmware is and he said this.

the firmware is A4M9 with the ramp up and 33.8 fix
That doesn't makes sense does it?
if they ramped it ans did the 33.8 fix would ahve they not turned it into A7M9 as well?

That is weird. I just sent my A4M9 version in... I hope I'll be getting the A7M9 version back... Now that you say they didn't upgrade the firmware, I'm kinda irked.

Do I have to call Bel again?

The A7 software was just a fluke that only existed for a few months and was later redefined to a version of A4. If you send in a unit with A7 software it will be updated to the latest version of A4, unless you pay for the upgrade to TSR then it will come back as an A5.
There is also a version A6. All the STi's made in the past couple of years would have a version of A6.
There is unique hardware in older STi's that require a version of A4 or A5 code vs the newer STi's that require A6.

Ok Thank-you i just ordered one and the guy in sales said that it is an 09 and it is A6M9 This one should be the latest and most effective software in your opinion?

I'm pretty sure I remember Mem-Tek saying that the revision numbers denote the type of hardware in the units and that there is no definitive way for joe average to tell exactly what software is loaded.

Your A6M9 should be one of the latest, the last 4 digits of the serial denote the manufacture date in week/year format eg; first week of the year 2009 will be shown as 0109.
