Software update

[wheelnut]

Is there a list anywhere of what is changed in the software updates done during a service? I know that at the last service, it changed a few things, such as the headlamp wash, but after the fatwas serviced again last week, it has changed the headlamp mode (active bending only now works when the lamp switch is in the right hand position).

Just thought it would be nice to know what else they changed....

I asked last year and wasn't given any definitive information. However when I was driving at night with the headlamp switch in the left hand position ( day running on dip beam) it got dark and since the roads were busy I did not bother switching to the rhs where main beam stays on if you move your stalk to main beam. The car's sensor had switched the instrument display to night mode. So I flashed someone to make a right turn across me and blow me the main beam stayed on even when the switch was set to the LHS. So that had been changed by a software update.

I had (and posted) about the same thing last year and guess what...... it has changed again since my last service and software update of a couple of weeks ago. Now the left and right positions work identically; there is absolutely no difference!
