I just use Hypertech programmer once on my 2009 G37 sedan. It's working however I found one weird thing with ECU programming. As soon as it starts doing "READING COMPUTER", the engine cooling fan kicks in (I heard some noisee from engine bay) and stays on until "WRITING COMPUTER" is finished. Everyone see the same phenomenon?
Should I do programming when engine cools down completely next time?

I believe this is normally functionality of the programming sequence to turn on the coolng fans, happened on my 09 as well.

Yup. Totally normal and part of the tuning process. Nothing to worry about.

Has the unit been updated to work with 2011 models (or is there no difference)?

Good to hear these answer. Now I feel more comfortable.
I also sent my question to Hypertech tech support yesterday. Here's the answer I got this morning:
"This is all normal, no need to let the engine cool off before programming. The programmer has to unlock multiple computers before it starts the writing process and it is normal to hear relays clicking and the fan to activate."
Great support from Hypertech, too. Thanks

Yup they are a standup company. On another note, I wonder if they are going to develop support for the G25, wonder what kind of gains they could achieve there. The other question is there enough demand for them to consider it...
