There is TPI for that problem, dashboard firmware update.

Yes. Though they did not explain me if it was only because of infotainment acting up, or there was something else. It coincided with the second replacement that issues with 12V battery discharging stopped.

Look, a few days ago I got another OTA update. This time it added Offers app to my infotainment. What I discovered there? 20% off for cosmetics brand! Not even anything car related. Does that really worth twice shorter warranty? I'm still to witness any SW changes or at least some bug fixes brought by OTA updates, apart of this usual crap we get.

Don't hope too much. Mine was replaced twice. There are way less issues now, but there still are. Soon heat will come and I will see what it brings, but I already expect reboots or on/off loops.

Switched from factory fitted Goodyear to Bridgestone Turanza 6 and am very happy.

This is what people speculate about. I haven't seen cars with H56 having any major OTA update, no matter the SW version. Not sure I've seen H58s either. Myself I was on 1896 for long time and only updates I had OTA were some minor updates (excluding the one which we all got somewhere in 2022 and which just broke infotainments sending them to eternal crash loop), workshop had to install everything manually to upgrade me further and that wasn't a fast process for them for some reason.

Nope, what I'm saying is that you have no clue what are you talking about. The situation with SW and firmware updates here in Europe is exactly the same. Browse this forum and you'll see that we are all at mercy of incompetent workshops who refuse to update stuff even when updates are available. There are selected few with recent hardware who now got the opportunity to get SW updates OTA, but there are just a few of them. Where did you get your idea that all is nice over here? I'd rather trade useless paid connectivity options for twice longer warranty instead of paying for it after initial 2 years. Not even talking about those who did not buy extension and now have to pay for crucial SW updates if they don't want to risk and install them themselves.

Idk what are those updates we get here in Europe. With all the SW problems I had I had to go to workshop and leave the car there for days or even weeks. And workshops had no clue how to fix those. So all in all there is no difference. Only very recently people with new cars started getting real SW updates, but that's minority of us.

It is a bit stupid that even having fully charged HV battery, small one may go completely flat. But it is how it is. Control module which charges 12V battery is being fed by the same battery, so when it dies, there is no way to take some current from HV, generator or plug to recharge it.

So in the end, you have more than twice longer warranty than we have in Europe, and the situation with dealers and updates is exactly the same. Nothing to complain about, imo.

From what I read before, only cars with newer hardware are capable of receiving such OTA updates. Like, cars with H56 (build year 20-21) might not have any such updates at all and only way is to install them via USB. So far I haven't seen anyone proving this to be wrong.

Does 1969 load faster at first start of the car too? I like 1941 compared to all previous versions but the time it takes to load when car awakes is sometimes just ridiculous.

Sometimes my infotainment catches some bug and sound goes bad. What helps is to reset focus in sound settings and bring it back to front seats, as I usually do. Who knows, maybe worth doing the same in your car, just to be sure?

You can look at it this way. You could also see the opposite - in hybrids you use motor and engine where they are the most efficient.

You need 48S5 service campaign update.
