OTA - High Power Electrical OTA update

[ms-in-uk]

Hi all,

Whilst out enjoying my toy it told me that an update was available. Stopped, prepped for 3 mins, 7 mins of updates and apparently my High Power Electrical system has been updated (RWD PB+ 2022 model). Anyone else seen this? There is not much detail apart from "Its going to charge fast, still" (Paraphrasing). Not seen one of these proper OTA updates before!

I did mine earlier today.

No idea what it does!

I didn't get anything but the car is pretty recent.

Updated my RWD today. Not sure what it does.

Wow this is the first significant update in a while, and maybe the first OTA that wasn't superficial PCM stuff. Can somebody share a photo of the update description please?

I guess since I have the LTE problem I wont be getting the OTA update.

Is there a way to connect the car to a home wifi ? the volvo does to get maps and high size file updates.

Not as far as I’m aware.

I have the opposite first world issue in the Tesla. It *has* to be connected to Wi-Fi to get an OTA update downloaded.

Ideally this should be an either/or choice which allows the driver to decide depending on prevailing cellular/mobile coverage and/or Wi-Fi coverage.

It just said High Power OTA update and it would take around 7 minutes, not any description.

Wonder if they're doing an A/B release.

Release it for half of the cars and watch if stuff breaks

I went back in after the update and looked at notifications (I think) and there was a brief description of what was done. Cleared now as it was yesterday, doh!

Is there a way to check for updates? I have yet to receive a notification that one is available to install.

There’s an app called “updates” in your PCM. You can force it to check from in there.

Nope. Was a feature of Russian spec cars only.
