Does anyone know if the acceleration tuning that is mentioned in the news feed can be applied on facelift auris ts (ex. production 03/2016)?

[FROSTYBALLS]

Don't think it is just acceleration retuning.

sounds like it will be the same modifications the new Prius got,

the avensis needs to shave at least 10 off its co2 on the 2ltr diesel to compete in that sector.

So do the already purchased vehicles get the new upgrade or only the newly produced? If the already sold ones will get the upgrade, are we going to hear from the dealers or should we call and inquire about the upgrade?

Also, on another thread you said that the Touch 2 software new version was just for the Go and Go+ versions, however, from this passage sounds like all Touch 2 systems can benefit from the new menus:

Quote

The Toyota Touch 2 multimedia system has been upgraded to the latest 2016 specification, which was unveiled at this year’s Geneva motor show. The centrally mounted seven-inch touchscreen now offers revised menu pages for accessing the system’s functions and, where the Toyota Touch 2 with Go is installed, for satellite navigation operation.

Neither the transmission nor Touch only updates can be applied to cars already sold they only apply to new production cars, cars with Touch2 Go & Go+ can have the navigation updates installed.
