james_60 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Hi Shane I cant answer "Your" question but "Ford" will not update it unless There is an issue or Fault that requires the software to be updated. I can say however that usually a software update may give your car better fuel consumption, perhaps iron out some flat spots, but dont expect wonders, Jamie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Ford does not have a changelog included with the software files. Because of this the changes and/or improvements of a new software version are basically unknown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is another way of updating software but its not authorised and may "Brick" your car (Brick ie like a locked out or inoperative phone) Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
