The update procedure seems to have worked OK but I was expecting to get some sort of message telling me how the new version improves on the old. Anyone know anything about this?

The only visible difference I'm aware of over the last fifteen months was the option to increase the pre-heat duration. I'm still on the version that sets a maximum of ten minutes, but the latest firmware lets you have longer - up to 30 minutes, I think.

I think Mitsubushi was more on a bug-killing spree than really updating.

Do you end up having to re-register the phone to the car if you update the software, or does it keep the registered vehicle details?

I was not aware of any bugs to tell you the truth. The remote control app is a bit clunky in places, but it has never failed in all the time I've had it loaded and the interface of the current version does not seem any different to what it was sixteen months ago. I have the latest loaded on my phone, but have never updated the car's firmware

The dealer will update it with service, the car firmware is not user-updateablemaby said:

That's what I thought too, however when I asked the dealer to just this during the cars first service, they replied they would only apply updates to fix a specific problem, and it's a chargeable activity otherwise!
Not great service, to be honest.

Weird - the only chargeable update I know of is for the navigation system, and even that one was supplied as a courtesy to me.
All firmware updates are part of the service program,, and should be carried out at service regardless of user request.

Erg. That would be rubbish. I would ask again. I certainly expect to get this update at service or even by presenting the car before then to get the heater duration feature working 'properly' when set from car. Like you I would be most unimpressed if told I had to pay for that.
