I am totally bummed out with the 7 speed auto tranny. Are there any means to modify the factory settings? Perhaps a programmer, replacement chip?
Thanks
Thanks
You can look into the software tuning companies know as UP-REV and there is also another knows as Ecu Tek, which I think is the better one of the two. with these programs you can adjust different components of the car. I will tell you that its not cheap to have this done. My buddy did it to his coupe and he is glad he did it, key to it is having it tuned by someone that knows what they are doingI am totally bummed out with the 7 speed auto tranny.

with the two programs I mentioned before, you can set it back to factory settings really quick and then put it back to how you had it.As long as it can be set back to factory settings in the case you need to take it back to the dealership then there shouldn't be much to worry about when it comes to warranty
That's awesome, quickness in changing is valuable since when it comes to getting issues resolved through the dealer it beats having to wait a while just to get the vehicle 'ready' to the dealer.with the two programs I mentioned before, you can set it back to factory settings really quick and then put it back to how you had it.

would you be kind enough to elaborate on that "tuning"?Prior to being tuned, I ended up using paddles all the time and had no issues. Although, keeping in mind I was already used to the slight delay in tiptronic shifting coming from a G37 7AT.
After being tuned. I've been loving it way more and tbh. It's fast as **** in drive.
I second this. The 7AT is not BAD as far as slushbox's go; but a DCT would be amazing in this car.Infiniti desperately needs to get with the times and utilize a dual clutch system. This is the main drawback of my car after driving 3 different dual clutch systems.
Former B8.5 owner here just to note that others to know that the DSG was revised in 2013 to relocate the mechtronics unit resulting in a near flawless system. Yes, 2010 to 2012 units were not the most reliable but after that they are solid.Interesting note that Audi dumped the DCT in the b9 s4. As an owner of a B8 S4, those transmissions failed all the time. The 7 speed is not great in our cars but it's not terrible and it beats a 10k repair which was the cost of an out of warranty DCT from the Audi.
^^ this. The added boost in power and torque, especially in the mid-range where we all live, really wakes up the car and makes using the manual mode more enjoyable as things generally respond better.Prior to being tuned, I ended up using paddles all the time and had no issues.
