I just got the OTA offered so that would suggest the updates are available to some at least. I don't know how the OTA side relates to the FDRS side of course.
They don't. At all.
There's really no reason to run the VIN right now since the update is still not showing in the system. I would bet that everything will be there on Friday so I think you should keep that appointment if you want to get it installed. As a side note, this software has nothing to do with what your wife experienced.
Yeah that seemed like a "glitch" to me. I read the thread on the recall and I understand the software update is more of an "early warning" and puts the car in limp mode rather than possibly leaving you stranded, if I understand that correctly.
and it's installing now.I just got the OTA offered so that would suggest the updates are available to some at least. I don't know how the OTA side relates to the FDRS side of course.
Correct. It doesn't fix the hardware, it just tells you that it's going bad before it goes bad.
ok, so there you go then, all of this heartburn over FDRS was ultimately a lot of assumption and speculation over nothing.
Yes, on the main page I said it was still rolling out via OTA. But it's still unavailable in FDRS. So while not pulled, it's also not available to install at a dealer or by an owner. This because of a server issue rather than it being "pulled" on purpose.
Monetizing failure??? Welcome to the wide, wide world of consulting! LOL
in FDRS. I'm installing as an owner right now through an OTA, which is how most people will do it, I bet.
I think you're missing the point. There's still a bunch of issues I think this caused. We have confirmed that a few people had the wrong update installed and cleared out of the recall system.
I know I can just reuse my pitchfork, but I burned some expensive torch fuel getting ready to join the mob.
