I could believe that. Just such a circumstance where this forum and the intelligence it provides is golden.

My retired architect mate who has had a 60 yr love affair with Citroens once complained to me that Citroen had the same arrangement... no dealer internet contact with HQ in France meant no diagnostics or updates! don't know if it's still the same situation.
....and an endless supply of 10mm socketsCome on Ineos. My phone updates itself remotely. My laptop does . Firefox and microsoft do. Even my bloody TV has a hissy fit periodically until it is allowed to reboot.
Why is the suggestion that the software update must be done by a specially dressed technician from Ineos called 'Senior flying spanner'.
Ah yes he has access to the only update machine. A modified play station controller, 4 crocodile clips, blunt wire strippers, the wrong size cross head screwdriver and lastly the continuitity tester that never worked.
WE alll have these
I think in this case we are not talking about an update but about a complete new release. You do not want to do this via the air. It does not mean that this needs to be done by the flying spanne but I guess they want to inspect the car overall given the fact the workshop do not have this massive experience with the vehicle. Call love or dedication;-) I think the problem is the interworking with main car sw communicating via the Canbus with the Neusoft SW. However I do know not anything about the IG sw architecture.Come on Ineos. My phone updates itself remotely. My laptop does . Firefox and microsoft do.

Perhaps you are asking the wrong question? Why is there a need for software updates? I for one don't want "regular" software updates.Come on Ineos. My phone updates itself remotely. My laptop does .

I was wondering why you need a software update on a new car anyway. Shouldn’t all the supposed testing they’ve done already covered all these minor issue and also the PDI. What have they been testing all along?
Where do we find that Stu?
100%. I for one would like my vehicle to be less connected. The idea that many brands can actually keep you from operating your vehicle remotely is disturbing to say the least.
Did you ever find out what HHC actually is? I have seen that warning when playing with my diff locks. Can't find reference in the handbook or on the internet.
Hill hold control?
) is due in this week 
. Dealer-fit accessories, incl. side runners, are not yet back in stock. Also, he expects the long-awaited software update to land “in the next week”. I’m hoping the stars might align and I can do the 3-hour round trip to the dealer just the once 
.
Can you post your list here, please? Would be interesting to cross-reference and even from their perspective...bet you can't wait...I have had my girl now for 3000ks and loving it...my biggest bug issue is not putting the window down a fraction and then having to be firmer on the door again...the seals are brilliant and takes time to get used to them, passengers and drivers not rears...what a problem to have...brilliantJust spoken to my dealer; my Fieldmaster has arrived
Regarding the software update, the dealer (in UK) was promised it for last Friday 1st September, but it didn’t materialise. As I can’t pick the vehicle up for several days, I’m hoping the update will arrive and be applied before I collect. Same goes for side runners. Wife is going to be pretty unhappy if she can’t clamber into the cab without manual assistance
Btw, I said I’d send him a list of additional items to check prior to collection (from this Forum), and he was perfectly happy to add these to the standard PDI process, which is nice
When I picked up my car last Friday the agent thought the new software update was definately within 2 weeks - so around 1 week from now.Just spoken to my dealer; my Fieldmaster has arrived
