Like everything else, things takes on mystical proportions on the internet.
Your 04 already have that latest software from factory. As far as we know and what Saab says, the software doesn't add any diagnostic codes that you can read with a scan tool. I don't think it turns on the Check Engine light any better or worse with or without.
They did mention at some point that some of the software package would aid in longevity of the IDM but that seems pretty false by now seeing how fast they die.
It did add fault tracing features inside the Tech 2 but all those extra Tech 2 specialty code number and failure symptoms are just about useless the few times I have tried to make any sense out of them.
Pretty sad in my eyes.
The technology in itself is pretty sleek but too bad they were not competent enough to build a system that would last at least as long as the red IDMs which were fairly ok.
