OMG that is so bad to hear that :O definitely I can say they did update as glympse app disappear as was decommissioned. On another note, I've noticed that my gearbox seems to be functioning differently. Before, it would struggle to select the correct gear when entering some roundabouts, but I haven't experienced that issue lately.

The latest updates were done during my fist service on my XC90 B5D end of Jan. To be honest I was a bit surprised at how much better the car felt to drive. Most noticeable was the improved throttle response/boost with a slightly smoother/quieter engine. I also think that gear change points/response is slightly different, but I can't be 100% sure on that one.

From the website, it indicates that there are some 8 drivetrain updates over the first year of ownership, that I assume were added to the car.

It will be really beneficial for us as users to know what kind of changes they did. At least we would be able to give the feedback
Gearbox behaving better and just wait for even more improvements
