yeah its all been discussed in the other thread. Long story short, its a big download and takes time to download and then install but when its done you'll be on the latest available software. Up to now, this did require a dealer visit.

I wonder why voice control won't work after the update.  I don't use it but it would be nice to know.  Is it because they want to sell it as an option in future?

It's still not a reason to remove it from people who've already got it as standard.

You'll get another update notification within the next day or so with part 2 of that update. Once you install that, you'll have voice control back.

"Next day or so" is a normal wait time for voice control to start each time... followed by trying to ask it for something before giving up and just pressing the damned buttons instead.
