Software Upgrade

Software Upgrade
I have the truck booked in to the dealer to do a software upgrade to address the transmission hesitation that I get when coming to a complete stop. Dealer wants $300 + tax, so I was wondering if the IID tool does this software upgrade? If so, the cost of the dealer service would pay over half the cost of an IID tool for me.
Here's hoping...

Here is what they told me:
"Thank you for your interest in our products.
ZF did release an update to help with the California Stop issue. We've done it on our LR3 at around 120 k miles and it helped significantly. With that being said, there is always a risk when playing with the transmission of making things worst depending on the mechanical state of various components.
We provide the reflash and adaptation clear routines upon request for our customers (IIDTool owners) via the fast lane service at a cost of 60 GBP."

For the amount paid for the IID Tool, I'm surprised it's not free as well. Well, that's a bit disappointing since I was hoping to do the re-flash as well.

Good question. I have an autologic which can do a software update(with LR software), but have not done it on any transmissions over 90K because a LR tech told me they can get screwed up. I was wondering if the Land Rover update is the same as the ZF update, as the GAP guys did it with no worries at 120K.
Maybe The guys that told me are just paranoid and the LR update is the same as the ZF. I find it hard to believe that ZF would not extend the update to LR, one of their customers.
