Today I had the transmission and other updates TSB 18-035-11, and the hands free TSB 08-036-11 put on my Jeep.
The transmission update makes it feel like a completely different car, it's now very responsive and seems to do a great job with gear selection no matter what speed you are doing. In my opinion they really breathed some new life into the 545RFE. I no longer have the "Clunk" sound/feel at 40MPH, or anywhere else for that matter, and I definitely notice somewhat of a performance boost. In my opinion five gears is more than enough, heck in the 60's even four was plenty.
I have always loved the GPS in my 430N. My only two complaints were with hardwired iPhones having errors, and wireless bluetooth streaming being choppy when the screen is on. This new update fixed the wireless streaming issue completely, and when combined with ios 5 beta 3 (which was released today), the hard wired iPhone problem is now completely resolved.
This is now the first car (including my 2010 Audi A4) where stereo bluetooth works perfectly, along with wired connectivity for iPhones. When you combine that with the friendly Garmin based GPS, I'm thrilled to have the 430N (RHB). It's feature packed (with TravelLink), and basically does everything I need it to do perfectly.
Anyway, I'm now very happy with my Jeep. It's nice to see Jeep actually rolling our updates like this. This is the first car I have owned where the manufacturer actually has done more than just talk about releasing updates like this.
