Software update for communications module

Went to my Mercedes me app today, and saw this message:

My car is a 21 AMG 53, built March of 21.

Any insight into what this might be?

Not seeing one for my 450. Last comm update for mine was January. Interested to know what is in the update.

UPDATE
The update appeared this morning.

While I didn't get a notification, I can see it in the app under Over the Air Updates.

Received the notification in app over the weekend. Have not installed yet. Waiting to see if anyone has issues with it and what, if any, benefits it provides.

2020 GLE450 polar white AMG pkg.
I also received the notification on my app for my 20 GLE however it says "not installed."
There is a note that the update will be installed while you drive.
Interesting, there was another update for the communications module on Jan 11 2023, which was successfully installed.
I doubt anyone will recognize an operational difference in how the communication module works after the update.

Don't recall getting a notice for my GLS, but seeing this thread I went to app and it shows as uninstalled.
Under the Updates Available on the app, it says in the vehicle go to: Settings>System> Software Updates to install and it will be downloaded and installed while you drive.

I think it means go there to check your version, but I don't think you have any control over installation. It's presented as Automatic.

If it is automatic, not sure why my app shows that the update has been there since 8/4 and has not installed? I will check settings when I leave the office this afternoon.

I don't know how they prioritize, but similar updates normally take about a week or so.

It must not be critical, or a recall, or I think owners would have been notified directly, instead of a seldom used button on an app that not everybody uses.

Usually someone on the forum has insight about what an update does, but so far we haven't seen any

The app on my phone says Software update for the communications module. Not installed. But if I look at the System on the SUV it shows updates are automatic and up to date. Been saying that for 3 days. Phone says Updates Available on 8/9/23 7:31 AM Date and time changes every time I check. I suspect that the updates are rolled out by area or some type update algorithm. I agree its probably not a critical update. I bet it relates back to the Beta test.

This is essentially what mine said. However, I just checked my app and it says I am up to date, with the last update being 12/14/22. No mention of the uninstalled August update?????

I just checked mine and it said the same thing! I wonder if they pulled the update to fix it?

Mine showed up yesterday as a message:


Also, my Mercedes me app quit working, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it.
Signing back in only took my email address, and a verification code sent to me.

We just received these updates:
https://www.motor1.com/news/687879/m...rt-home-voice/
"The new MBUX Voice Assistant smart home feature supports products from Philips Hue, Samsung SmartThings, TP-Link, and myQ by Chamberlain Group. Devices and equipment users can control include lights, smart plugs, thermostats, motion detectors, and garage doors."

And this which has been mentioned in another thread:
https://www.motor1.com/news/684850/m...700k-vehicles/
"Vehicles with the first-generation MBUX2 system and Mercedes-Benz Navigation also receive access to Place Details by Google. In addition to providing an address and directions, this feature provides detailed information for more than 200 million locations worldwide, including business hours, photos, ratings, and reviews."

What version MBUX do we have again? The 2nd article mentions Dolby Atmos upgrade but I'm guessing it doesn't apply to MY20-23.

Last night, I added MyQ Chamberlain to MBUX which might be helpful when driving away from the house and I can simply ask Mercedes if I left my garage open (what is status of my garage door) or ask to close/open door when I'm too far to use Homelink without having to pickup my phone and use the MyQ app.
