Software updates

[Rusty2009]

My car is going in tomorrow for a software update for the headlights.

The chap I spoke to is the one who I've dealt with over the auto headlights.

I said I know there is a software update for the ECU as well will you apply that.

He said no we only apply updates if the customer is having issues I can update the lights under warranty but nothing else.

I always thought any updates were applied free of charge weather a customer complains or not?

That's what I thought also.

Not sure if my it's just the dealership then that I use as they always check and apply any updates when both of mine have been in. Even when they have only had it in to change the wheel under warranty.

when andy did my nav he found 3 updates for sevrice and the engine that were not done
he did them all for me but they were not done by the dealer when it was serviced ?

It's odd I can do the updates myself but costs me £10.

My dealer tells me that they update everything when serviced but who knows really!

They tell me this, I wonder if it's to give them an excuse for taking the p*ss doing a quick simple job??? Lol

I don't know if they applied any updates as they didn't say all they said was the update for the auto headlights was released in 2011 and was already on my car.

Is there someway the version number of the software installed can be read by an owner? If you can read it how can you find out the latest version?

If like me you have an MDI you can find what software numbers are programmed in and it will tell if there is a different software version also you can look at the technical service bulletins to see they have issued anything.
