That's great news!
Does the temperature sync stay on even after switching off the ignition? That's one thing mine does not do even on 1896.

Should have clarified. Mine stays synched if I switch off ignition and on again after a few minutes,, but not after a couple of hours

It certainly does, that was my biggest bug bear on the car previously as I mostly drive the car on my own!!!

Mine has never done that I could get the car out of the garage turn the engine off close the garage get back in and restart it I'd have to re-sync each time!

Thank you. That's very interesting. It bugs the hell out of me as well! I'll have to contact the dealer again I guess

Did your have 16xx version before the update?
Mine started life on 17xx version before update. Maybe that's the difference

OK. Thank you. I think that might be the key to it.

Booked my Clubby in for the engine cover recall (I know I could have removed it myself!) on Monday and apparently there is another safety recall issue that they will be dealing with at the same time.   Also persuaded them to do the 1896 s/w update for me as I've still not had the OTA option.

I'm hoping this really will make the system respond quicker and get rid of the annoying '**** assist not available' messages that pop up intermittently.

Will let you know how it goes next week.

What’s the other safety issue they’re addressing?
