[UK] 2020.40.x

[Yev000]

We have a number of places here with pre-speed limit warning signs (as in 30 or 40mph limit x00 yards ahead)

Poeple really use anny form of cruise control on below 40mph roads? I alwayss find the lack of regen around corners annoying.

Does your car actually recognise those signs and actually change the limit now?

Also, changing from 40 > 50 > 40 is nowhere near as bad, or required as 70 > 50. 99% of UK NoA will be on motorways where the 50mph limits in large signs are currently not recognised.

So Idont really understand your complaint, unleess you are a constant user of TACC on small country roads and are currently ajusting manually every 10 seconds. I personally would not use TACC though UK towns today seeing as regen braking IMO is more reactive than surfing the brakes.

My M3 had the update to install first thing this morning.

I would if it didn't slow for parked cars etc as it makes driving more relaxed. Also I think you will find a lot of people (particularly that are new to the car) will find it very easy to find themselves the wrong side of the limit with the acceleration and absence of engine noise.

it makes driving more relaxed.

It's the opposite effect for me. I enjoy regulating the speed and doing smooth cornering. TACC would not slow down for a bend so you need to use the brakes. Plus that instant pull away after a sharp bend at jjust the right moment....

I supppose thats a personal thing. Still, I can't see an instance where the road speed changes from 30 > 40 > 60 then down to 30 being a huge issue. Doesen't it do it already with geofencing?

It wasn't a complaint it was an observation. I do play with autosteer on some of the roads around here as much to see how it has changed. It still doesn't look far enough ahead and anticipate the tight bends we have, try to acclerating to NSL and then dump control back when it gets into trouble.

Gotta love when it does that!

There are stretches of road around here that are a PITA to hold at 30mph.. slight downward slope so if you so much as sneeze at the pedal you're at 35 (and take your foot off you're at 20). TACC deals with those nicely, in the absence of a proper speed limiter.

2020.40.3 ?

 

[Dilly]

I should drive past some parked cars on TACC tomorrow. Usually brakes part way past. I’ll report back...

 

[NorfolkMustard]

Updating to 2020.40.3 now, will try it out later at some of the locations where phantom breaking has always happened

 

[JupiterMan]

Mine has just updated. Have USB-C but no mention of heated charge port on release notes, just priority Bluetooth and glovebox pin.

 

[Dilly]

The parked cars I always pass weren’t there today!

One change that’s sensible is that pin to drive no longer has an allow button. Only the four numbers needed now.
Also if you go into drive, the seatbelt warning sounds about 5 times straight away.

TACC alone still doesn’t change speed when the speed limit changes.

Curious. Wonder if it is an American thing then? Or maybe for cars as yet to be made? (this refresh mentioned elsewhere)

I think the wiper function changed recently too, but prior to this release, did I imagine it? When you press the stalk button now, the UI switches to show the four manual wipe setting buttons. I could swear in older releases it did not do this? Anyone confirm or otherwise?

It’s always done that as far as I can remember/owned one (Sept 19)

Only had my car a couple of weeks and this is the second update. Downloading now. Makes other car makers look very 20th century...

>> Only had my car a couple of weeks and this is the second update.

In recent times updates come roughly once a month.

 

[JupiterMan]

Have noticed that PIN to drive has changed in this update.

Previously you enter your PIN then the "Allow" button". The "allow" button is no longer there, and PIN is now accepted immediately once entered correctly.... one less button to press!

Know what you mean - I'm in week 7 of ownership and am already on my 5th software update! The ownership experience is night and day to what went before.

One point to note: I had to reformat the USB drive before dashcam would work after the update. It was previously formatted by/in the car too
