I dont think there is a specific option to enable OTA updates. I'll check later on mine to confirm.

Looking through the manual there is no mention of a specific option to enable it. But it might be buried in there somewhere and my pre-coffee brain is not seeing it.

I could of sworn that i saw an auto update slider but I am unable to find that in any of the menus now. I will remove my reference to that from my post above. Maybe it showed up when I was at the screen telling me that 3.3.2 was ready to install. But again I am not finding that slider now after my 3.3.2 updated successfully.

What’s an easy well to tell if our software is updated for people like me that have no version info? Functionality from Pivi of some sort. I was looking for the button to switch between CarPlay and LR nav and don’t have that n

Mlw911. if you get into software update section of settings and see no info as in a blank screen then you might have bigger problems. post a picture of what your software update screen looks like. I know that with mine it takes a few minutes for my software update section to register and actually show me my software version info. I also have the car started. and i filp around in the different menus and then come back to software update and then it shows my software version. Like the car is thinking a bit about it for a period of time.

What finally worked for me is the following:
1) Turned off Cellular Data connection for Internet
2) Ensured WiFi connectivity was connected - reentered password, etc. to make sure it really was connected to my home WiFi
3) Locked the doors.


After all of this, waited approximately 2 hours before starting truck and checking under Software Updates on the Menu and it show 3.3.2 installed Feb 3rd 2023

I hope this information helps others

I thought I saw a link to a history of versions with release notes posted here somewhere, but then when I searched again I couldn't find it. Is there such a source someone can point us to?

Not for me. I tried your method. There are a fair number of other posters here who indicated that prior to their first update when the vehicle was new, no version number ever showed. It looks like that's the case for me too. My version shows as "Installed".

Same thing here every time I’ve checked it since owning the car, it shows what’s pictured above.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried your steps, but it didn't seem to affect anything for me.

I picked up my '23 90S in May and like many others on here it did not show what version was loaded on the PIVIPRO. It downloaded and showed 3.3.0 about 2 weeks after delivery. I haven't been able to get any further downloads since then until I followed the above from ficklma1 . It downloaded 3.3.2 and installed on 2/3. For those that have tried the above with no success, make certain you have a strong home wifi signal connection. I hooked up an old router I had in my garage to increase the signal strength. Be certain you are double locking your vehicle, this is crucial. I added this to the instructions above. Good luck.
