  • Your turn signal now cancels automatically after you change lanes on the highway.

Guess that answers my question on the latest iOS app update thread.

Looks like this update has more for Gen 1! Good to see them getting feature parity where possible so quickly for those vehicles.

Even though it's small, this is one is a BIG deal to me:

• Reduced the intrusiveness of unbuckled occupant notifications.

If you have the audacity to drive through a parking lot with no seatbelt it is LOUD, it turns down the radio and it will keep chiming even AFTER coming to a stop! It's SOOOO obnoxious

Exactly release it in spring so no one can put it to the test and by next winter none of us will remember the difference.

I do like the smooth ride enhancement hopefully it actually is noticeable. I hate that it bucks over expansion joints just seems like they tuned the rear to go stiff as soon as the front hits a bump which cause the rear to bounce.

Kind of sad there still is no Alexa support for Apple Music

just hit this yesterday and was dreading making service appointment and whole SC dance glad that’s being fixed!

• Fixed a rare issue that caused vehicle cabin heating to stop when the vehicle exited a warm garage in cold weather.

Next winter when you can't test it.

• Reduced battery drain when key is left nearby

I really hope this one fixes my longtime issue. Happens at home but mostly at work where the truck stays awake (but locked for the most part) for hours on end because apparently the phone-key being 50-75 ft away is too close. Data as shown by ElectraFi and clearly losing more than 1 kWh just during the time I'm in the office. Super annoying and it became a problem when they made a big PaaK update around a year ago.
