Pilot is in essance a advanced and specilised agent program. Upgrading it is as simple as uploading a new program into the vehicle node. From top of my head the costs are in Arsenal but you want to check out both the core book and Unwired for the other software that can benefit a Pilot program.

you may also need to upgrade response so that the pilot program can run on that drone or vehicle. the response is 3, or 4 if the drone or vehicle has a weapon mount.

QUOTE (Arsenal, p. 105)

Pilot upgrade: Though most consumer vehicles only comes
with Pilot programs that range in rating from 1 to 3, as noted on
p. 228, SR4, Pilot programs are available in ratings from 1 to 6.
Exchanging a vehicle’s old Pilot program with a new version re-
quires a Logic + Software (10, 10 minutes) Extended Test. Note
that each Pilot program is designed for a particular vehicle (see
Pilot Capabilities, p. 103).

thanks very much all - that's awesome, and p.232 SR4A is the cost under agent/ic/pilot. I also found the rule about pilot replacing system too. Cheers!
