Handling system updates via Download Center

Updated 2023-06-08

System updates are available for infotainment and Internet-related functions and systems in the vehicle. If system software updates are available, they can be downloaded all at once or separately.

Searching for update

In order for system updates to be possible, the vehicle must have an Internet connection1.

System updates are handled through the Download Center app in the center display's App view. If no search for updates has been performed since the last time the infotainment system was started, a search will be initiated. No search will begin if a software download is in progress. A number in the System updates button shows how many updates are available. Tap the button to display a list of updates that can be installed in the vehicle. If an update is available, the message New software updates available will also be displayed in the center display's status field.

Note

Data downloading can affect other services such as transfer data, e.g. web radio. If the affect on other services is experienced as problematic, the download can be interrupted. Alternatively, it may be appropriate to switch off or cancel other services.

Note

An update can be interrupted when the ignition is switched off and the vehicle is left.

However, the update does not have to be completed before the vehicle is left as the update is resumed the next time the vehicle is used.

Updating all system software

Select Install all at the bottom of the list.

To avoid displaying a list, select Install all via the System updates button.

Canceling software download

Tap the checkbox in the activity indicator that replaced the Install button when the download began.

Note that only a download can be cancelled. An installation cannot be cancelled once it has begun.

Automatic background searching for software updates is activated as the default factory setting, but the function can be deactivated.
