    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,

    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.

    glad i have been of help.

    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)
