That Shifting Issue...

I brought my '07 Avy in for the transmission software update, and am now feeling a bit paranoid.

The work performed printout says the tech did the update, but they did not place the sticker in the lower-right corner under the hood.

I know that doesn't mean much, but I was still hoping they'd put it on.

Could a place like Autozone run a diagnostic to see if the updated software version has in fact been installed?

I've only had the car for a week, so it's difficult to tell if the shifting has improved (I believe it has though.)

Anyway, just being paranoid.

Just had the upgrade a couple weeks ago myself. The dealer did not put the sticker under the hood. My guess is that they don't keep a supply of them (or they just aren't taking the time to stick them on). I did not notice a significant difference in the shifting pattern, however, my mileage went down for a period, so I believe the update was done. This seems to be a common side effect of the update.
