Are you sure its specific to one set of the ROMS? If it is only in the 5.92 ROMS I will go out today and get 6.1 ROMS, but if its not corrected by 6.1 then I would prefer to wait until a new set of ROMS is available. I have heard of revisions as high at 6.6 (rumors only) but the highest available version to dealers is 6.1.
