Mylink software update changes

[justice4all3000]

Just had the mylink software updated for the first time but the dealership couldn't tell me what changes have been made. Does anyone know what has been changed or have a change log?

Thank you

There is already a thread that spans 28 pages and goes into details of what is the latest version.

Check out post 510 on page 26 of that thread which is the latest statement on the s/w version.

Do take note that post 557 on page 28, currently the latest post, @Mattricho indicates that the dealer told him a later update is coming but I have my doubts as Holden seems to be less than open as to what the versions and what the release schedule are. As such, I suspect the dealer is talking through their butt. Hopefully I’m wrong and a new map update and system software is around the corner where Holden finally ditches the Pandora app from MyLink.

Best to continue dialogue on that thread I guess.

This link, referenced by @Forg on post 25 of the above referenced thread, indicates how to determine the map version...

Have just been advised by Holden that the guidance system on the factory fitted equipment only has camera alerts as part of a charged update, they deny that what is in print, page 164, inside the 'VF Sedan & Sportwagon Owner's Handbook' is not supported by Holden and they hide behind the nonsense coverall disclaimer on page 2. This is full and complete false advertising and misleading to all those that have the guidance system fitted a factory standard, camera alerts existed across almost all brands of guidance system for years prior to the school zones alerts.

This is a clear example that Holden does NOT support their own products.

I am intending to report this as a breach for very many VF owners to the ACCC, would like to include any responses that members would like to send.

I had specifically asked for this to be added to mylink , they told me a map update would add it , $130 later and no alert , I was then told
there was a software update that would add it , I had half day off work $160 later and told my software was up to date and still no alert .
Put me down in that complaint .

Thanks, will add to list

Me too. I have a series 1 redline and dont have the speed camera alerts etc.. add me in that complaint also..

Ditto. VF Redline, no speed camera alerts.

No alerts available in my VF SSV either. Was advised some time ago that the upgrade is chargeable, despite the handbook suggesting otherwise. Part of Holden's known lack of commitment to customers and arrogance which has contributed to their current malaise.

Whereas Holden themselves claim that there’s no update which Holden will apply that can introduce speed cameras as a point-of-interest.
I’m not a fan of conspiracy theories so I’m not going with police agreements to keep big contracts; I just reckon their update software is so rubbish that they’re not able to update whatever part of the application it is that’s holding that functionality back, despite some saying that hackers can get to it.

ACCC has recorded this, and if enough of Holden owners complain it may become a market level that will allow ACCC to takle action directly for Holden making such lying and misleading claims to us all. As I am a pensioner I may take this to VCAT as the cost of submitting a claim is zero.
