Sti software updates

How to update ur Sti before the one year free updates are expired.I was one of the original people to buy this Sti when It came out that week so I recived one with the first software version on it.It has worked perfect ,I have not had one ticket since my purchase.My version is A1 M7.The store I bought it from said that I have one year free software upgrade on it ,could someone tell me if they have been able to use this and get updated fron beltronics.I would like to get this updated to keep up on the fireware.

Thanks

Call Beltronics and ask them. Let us know what they tell you.

yep I was just on the website and found the customer service number.I was just wondering if anyone had allready done just that.

I believe they have and told them that it couldn't be updated. But I'm not sure. Sometimes Bel seems to tell you different things depending on who you talk to. Please let us know what they tell you.

You could always just say it went Service Req'd :wink:

If I say that what happenes then they ask for me to send it back?And if it dose not do it for them then what?tell me more I like this idea ;)

Before my 2-cent take on this one: where does it say that we have ONE YEAR SOFTWARE FREE UPDATE???

Now, if that free update is true, I would just call Beltronics and tell them, politely of course, that I would like to update it to the current version which is A4M9... period. If they ask you why, don't make up stories that cannot be backed-up (unless you really have a technical problem), just say "because it's the latest and as I was told by other STI users, it's got lots of things (overheating, Ka falses) improved from the early versions"... and do not forget to tell us how all did it go... best of luck... :wink:

No where does it say that I can find,its simply what the dealer that sold it to me said when I went in to pick it up.I had no reason to not belive him looks like U might have brought up a good point maybe he just bs'd me on that one.Thanks for ur 2 cents thats why i made this post to get peeps opinion.

Not that the dealer with his software update sales pitch would have been stopped you for getting the STI, but never believe somebody, especially a sales person, until he/she shows you in writing that whatever thing/free software update... and always ask for a photocopy of that whatever document/warranty... when it's just a sales pitch to get your money, obviously they will try to full you around with lots of excuses like, I can't find it, or I will call you tomorow/give me your phone number, blablabla, blablabla... easy to understand where the truth realy stands and it's up to you what next step to take...

Couldn't you just say you used it in the States and it falsed Ka like a mofo?

That's usually the story with the pre A3M8 versions.

X2 Road Warrior. Some sales staff in big box stores have product knowledge of what they sell, but most will just read you the side of the box if asked any questions. Their training usually consists of how to up-sell a customer and proper hair gelling techniques. :lol:

Let's do a poll because it is probably less than 5% at best.
