Not driving the car for extended period can prevent updates from installing, but not from them being sent to you. I do not know what causes the vehicle to phone home nor do I have an explanation as to why some modules have reported themselves and other haven't. As far as not getting any updates since March: It could be your VIN is just not part of an active OTA roll-out plan and you simply just have to wait for the next round to be pushed to you.Thank you for the lighting quick reply Javier! The car sat at the dealer until I bought it in mid-March, and it hasn't been driven a ton since I bought it either. Is it possible that's why those modules haven't "phoned home" in a while? It will be replacing my company car on July 1st, so it will see more use soon. As for FORScan, I am aware (and am handy with both cars and tech) of it but haven't had the occasion to use it yet. Do I need to use the PC version of the app or will FORScan Light for Android do the trick? Looks like you're referring to the PC version, but just checking.
I have never used the Android version (although I have been curios to try it), so I am not sure it you can reset the modules with it, but a module resent is a fairly simple script, so I would assume you can do it with the phone version, but honestly, I am not sure. It won't hurt to do it. Lmk when you do and I will check the VIN again and see if anything changed.
