Default 2009 Touring Models.

&nbsp\\; Got some more info this week stating that the 2009 models will not be recognized by the "Digital Technician" and no calibrations are avalible.&nbsp\\; They also state that the Service Manuals are being drafted and will not be avalible at time of the release.&nbsp\\; It also states not to change exhaust as the calibrations and updates for the Super Tuner&nbsp\\;will not be ready&nbsp\\;at the time of release.
&nbsp\\;
I am not the smartest man, but the only reason to make drastic changes to tuning mediums and service information is if you are making drastic changes to the vehicle itself.&nbsp\\; Just wanted to add to the rumor mill.&nbsp\\; Will let you know more when I get info.
