I noticed at the last service and software upgrade the drive mode has changed from Dynamic to Polestar Engineered and does seem a bit more aggressive.

So you got the upgrade for free?

Yes I must have, The car had Polestar to start with they just said was there was to be a software upgrade and I noticed the stop start icon had changed on the speedo so then started poking around and noticed the Polestar.

I've got a V90 D4 without Polestar, and after my last service Dynamic Mode has been replaced by "Polestar Engineered".

As far as I am aware its just the name thats changed and a little re-mapping/tweaking as a standard software update - certainly doesn't mean people have been given the Polestar upgrade for free

That's interesting.....

When was the service done?

Service was end of July - all the software does is change the title of dynamic mode and it does drive slightly more aggressively in that mode, but it most definitely isn't the Polestar upgrade.

So I take it all software updates will change dynamic to polestar?

Anyone else had this?

Dealer rang today and offered a discount of £100 with a 14 day money back guarantee. Would be interesting to see how many people would take the refund after having it done.
