Hi All. Didn't want to clog up the main chat forum with this and I know there have been some passing comments in other threads. I thought it might be interesting to see and understand why there are so many combo's of control panel software out there, especially on identical vehicles.

Could it be that dealers are just relieved to have compleated 2.1 software successfully that they don't risk the display unit upgrade or is it purely down to different HW versions needing a specific display unit software version? Are we missing anything in speed and performance etc? I've attached my pre and post versions below and the display unit hasn't changed since we took the original delivery. Interested to hear your thoughts.

Because there are different hardware versions too? (I’ve seen photos of higher hardware numbers in some “series” models, H71 I think)

Thanks Scott, I did think similar but it was mainly the dealer telling me that the 2.1 upgrades kept failing last week and then literally 2 hours later (friday 4pm) that it had been compleated with no new HW that just made me a bit suspicious, almost as if just the core module had been done to tick the box and move on to the backlog of others waiting in the queue. Glass half empty I know (which isn't usually me). I just thought it would be good to see if others who have the H55 HW had later SW versions. At least then there's some science behind it and not just speculation (which is never helpful). I think if all the bugs had been ironed out I wouldn't care either way. It's not something I've ever even wondered about with my XC90 but then that's always done everything it originally said on the tin. The App incidentally for the Volvo is light years ahead of the ID3.

We have not changed or upgraded since we took delivery in Feb: seems like lower rev hardware but higher rev control panel software.

ID.3 1st Edition updated to 2.1 today. There seems to a lot of variation in the versions of various hardware & software components.
