Just a noob question about these updates. Approximately how long do they take (how long is a piece of string and how fast is your internet)? I'm assuming you cannot drive while the update is occurring. I also assume they don't auto install overnight whilst you are sleeping. So what do you do if you have one waiting for you in the morning? Do you delay your commute or can you wait til you arrive at your destination or get home at night.

You can't drive the car while updating, best to schedule when the car is not required for a few hours just to be sure, it can be set on a timer. Update speed varies from 10 minutes to 2 hours, best to make sure all the tyre valve caps face the same direction to ensure fast updates.

The release notes were borked on the last update, it contained a lot more than the notes said. Hopefully that is the case this time. I assume they tweak the firmware for AU to get rid of summon with key and the browser.Got it (17.17.4) AEBView attachment 226338 Was expecting more..
I just upgraded to 17.17.4 today. Got the AEB feature but haven't seen the others in the release notes. Will double check and confirm.

Got the same update this morning on my S. Just in time for a 500km round trip to Margaret River with autopilot all the way

I think my autopilot around town is a bit jinkier than it was before the update- anyone else?

Much better for me here. Handles crossing intersections much better. Still not great on even moderate turns with narrow lanes though.

I got my update today. Just loaded it and did a short drive. Generally fairly good, but asked me to take over once. I will be using it with extreme caution. Maybe it will learn as time goes by.

That is a certainty...unlike the Garmin AP in the Cirrus. As time goes by, they'll be learning too.
Haven't tried - I'm looking forward to the roadwork mess being cleaned up there soon though now that the toll booths are out. AP might have a chance of making it onto and off the bridge

I'd agree with this comment. On the pacific highway between north sydney and st Leonards seemed to be worse then before, i had to take control back on a few occasions and eventually gave up. It seemed to struggle with slight bends, at one point started to mount the median strip. On a longer trip on the M1 down south tomorrow so will see how it goes there, although I think the feature has more utility at 50/60 in bumper to bumper traffic than at 110 on the freeway.

It appears there is a bug fix coming soon to fix 17.17.4. It will be 17.17.17
