Software Updates?

Hi guys,

More a general wondering question rather than anything important but, I took the car in to the dealer to sort another problem as documented in another post. The dealer had to delay fixing the car while their systems were being updated for the new car software update from HQ which he informs me was only released this morning.

I hadnt really appreciated revisions to software really but does anyone have any experience or knowledge of updates to date and what they all changed? I assume it would be tweeks to various things, for instance he hoped the one he was to install to the car today would fix the constantly on airsensor fan.

Just wondering what else may be played with?

Cheers

    The radio has it's own software - mine has been updated twice which resolved some Bluetooth & freezing issues

    The car also has software - mine has been updated which improved low speed performance and MPG :)

    What was the charge for updating the car software? i would appreciate some performance improvements especially MPG :D

    also my bluetooth audio streaming keeps playing up and wont play any music through my iphone...then the next time i turn the engine on and off it works again :s maybe the radio software needs updating.

    Hi White,

    There was no charge today as we went in to have the "buzzing" fixed which was done under warranty. It sounded very much as if software updates would be applied any time your car was being worked on by the dealer i.e. also at MOTS, servicing or repair. We still have a niggle as speakers still seam to be powered but havent sat in the car long enough to figure out if the power is killed off after a few minutes when ignition is off.I know they didnt have much to do really but fair play to Evans Halshaw, Hull, they just got on with it without any queries which was nice.

    I would love to have a list of the "firmware" updates for the car to know when and what was released. I will try find them but dont fancy my chances as presumably it will be internal ford knowledge only.

    Firmware updates are free under warranty.

    And outside of warranty?
