First major over the air system update.

The self steering system has been upgraded. It can now make bigger steering inputs. I also noticed that if you are driving under the speed limit you get a plus sign next to the set speed on the dash. Automatic lane changes also seem to be snappier. If I notice anything else I will let you know. The update went flawlessly. Finally it leads you through the process and lets you know the car will be doing its thing and thus be "unavailable for ten minutes" while it completes the process, lets hope that also means no more blank screen surprises from now on. Nicely done MB!
There was also a recent one that placed a new icon on the home screen so you can order services directly from the vehicle, in effect, an an MBUX store. Keep it comming!

Indeed. I clocked 1 min to beeping. It can also handle much sharper curves. It feels like you are more "supervising" than "driving", on the highway... The only "glitch" detected was my HUD took a "break". After the usal reboot; turn off the car, lock and restart, it robooted and continued just fine. At least it wasn't MBUX.
I haven't had the low speed jerk either, fingers crossed. I don't get it often so Im not getting too excited that the only "defect" the car has is finally banished. I have always suspected that its a collision avoidance system blip since it happens exactly the speed where there is a handoff from the slow speed system to the high speed one, about 23 mph.

Can this major update be done from the smartphone. I don’t see any new major software update on the drop down menu on the Mercedes Me Connect app on my iPhone yet. Maybe they are not releasing it for everyone at the same time.

Only the dealer can install that update. It takes several hours and you must have a good excuse why you need this update.

Interestingly, I have an EQS SUV 580 and I got the communication module update on 3/25. But yesterday I got a slightly different update than posted by the OP.

Mine, as you probably know, is a 2022 first gen EQS580. So I should receive this over the air update, right?

my ‘23 580 has always been 45 secs. Sounds like the older EQS’s are getting updated to current spec.
My ‘22 450 was 15 secs.

The updates are set to automatic in the car settings. However, I assume I’m going to get a notification on the Mercedes Me Connect App on my phone.

How do you set the App on automatic? I looked but I don’t see a setting for automatic on the App on the phone. Since I received an over the air update back in March I think it is on automatic.

MB is just copying and pasting the script from their gasoline cars. For example, in Mercedes Me the 12V battery message used to say "The 12V battery provides power to the starter to start the engine" somewhere along those lines... um... what engine on an electric vehicle? Now it is something like Starter Battery and changed to "The starter battery provides power to start the vehicle".

So eventually they will change the wording, I think they still call the accelerator the gas pedal, the ignition just means the vehicle is started next time in this case.
