Driving assistance systems software update

Received the notification today. It will install when the car is parked, engine off, and locked.

Today I received a notice that there is a software update for the "Digital vehicle key" to "[improve] general stability and device compatibility..." Something to do later today.

I got this in June. Look at this thread and post 13 for what to expect.

Updated two nights ago, tested it yesterday, and didn't notice any significant differences.

I received the notification and attempted to update the system, but it was not without issues.
For some strange reason, the ambient color light system changed, and my seat settings were also altered (I guess the pre-determined driver is taller than an NBA player).
My app order was changed on the screen. Also, my Sirius Favorite stations got erased.

Thank goodness, all of this is just a minor hassle and not a full-blown disaster. A typical day in tech paradise, right?

It said to improve the robustness of the system, so no, because it hadn't never crashed.

After turning off the engine, you need to navigate to Software Update and start it manually.
It didn't do anything else so not even noticeable.
