Let’s talk Update 24.1

[IslandFalconer]

So what’s the deal, why is it the older vehicles with less safety protocols still have no update? Anyone with a pre 17 000 VIN remains un softwared. I’ve spoken to my dealership, and Ineos “Customer service” with promises of “soon” and “imminently” and “Before end of month” (That was May)
My dealership has gone through another service department change of staff and the new guy although pretty decent to chat with is not up to speed and has not been able to help. Hopefully Service manager #4 lasts longer than the previous 3! (But that’s off topic)


So does anyone have any indication of when those of us with the older trucks will get the long promised yet to be delivered update?

I would guess within the coming weeks, the 24.1 update has been circulating test vehicles for some time now

I've expressed my reasoning before, but I would imagine the 24.2+ vehicles got it first because it included a FIX to a problem instead of just the convenience alterations that 24.1 gets

I have spoken with Ineos on multiple occasions and the indication so far is that nothing is coming any time soon. My dealership indicates the same.
I’d be happy to hear differently but it doesn’t appear to be so. The fabled “test” vehicles seem nothing more than rumors.

Are the North American 24.1 the equivalent of the 23.5 in Europe?

The European 23/23.5 is not getting the same software updates as the 24 is because the hardware is different. One of the easiest ways to check is the reverse camera image. If it's a small pop up window (in how it looks) then that's the older hardware. If the reverse cam is larger and fills most of the vertical screen, then it is using newer hardware. The different hardware has different firmware versions.

Not the same. We have full size camera image. We have the black sheep. Stuck with ADAS and all the nonsense with hardware between 23.5 and 24.2

100% not True. We met with INEOS corporate members this last weekend at a GTG.
Confirmed 24.1 will be a USB flash to the HU only, to fix the ADAS click and a few other fixes. Our vehicles [sub 17000] do NOT have the software issues newer VINS have, therefore this is the only update necessary, No BCM, no HVAC, no electrical updates. Takes sub 30 min, if that. INEOS has not stated for sure that the file will be posted for secure access for an owner, or USB provided. So for now it is dealer only, and may be a candidate for a field install. They had the USB present, and have started to perform a few installs.

Until I see or have written proof this is not much more than hearsay. I spoke with Ineos and my dealership yesterday and both indicated there is no such update.
