Software updates between Apr and May

[Wiz33]

Went in to have the dealer adjust the alignment since it was pulling slightly to the right since I picked it up in Feb, Ask them to check it when I went in for 1K oil change in Apr but it was still pulling after. Got it back yesterday and it seems that there were 4 new updates between Apr 18 and May 8th. No idea what they did as I don't know what all the system name they refer to are. That makes like over 10 updates since the car left the factory since they did like 5-6 updates before I picked up the car in Feb, They did a couple more when I went in for 1K oil change in Apr and then these 4 between then and now.

I myself got the VDDM update last week when I took my Emira in for repairs, apparently I had all the other stuff done during a previous service visit back in April.

The dealer couldn't tell me anything about it and I felt no difference other than slightly smoother shifting (V6 auto) but perhaps it's just the placebo effect.

Man my Emira is running pretty dang well and it hasn’t gotten any updates since I got it last year. Right now im in the camp of it ain’t broke….

Had mine updated the other week too.

One of the fixes was for the limited telematics issue. The other was when using a high grade fuel (99 RON for me) and on cold start being rough / nearly stalling.

I also had an issue with my alarm randomly going off (only happened once), and apparently one of the updates was for the alarm system too.

No idea what the others are for.

Yeah I’m issue free and would rather not update.

Not that anyone asked, but in case anyone was wondering what the update acronyms meant.. I happened to find it on a search..

Thanks, at least we now know what they're related to even though we don't know the details.

For anyone worried about any regression from the new updates. I can confirm I had everything applied (UK) last weekend and I had no issues before and still none after.

I think they need another update to the audio or connectivity modules I think. My car can never decide if the radio should be on or off. I can shut off car and leave with everything turning off, but then turns back on if I come anywhere near the car with the key. It should only turn on when you get in. Other times the radio will start in pause mode and I have to hit play to start it. I did have all the updates I believe. Last serviced at end of April

I had a similar issue with Android Auto always turning on Spotify. Turns out there's a setting in Android Auto allowing you to disable auto play.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try. Still strange it does these things when in radio mode.

Hi, picked up my i4 after Lotus Colchester looking into creaking front suspension and noticed on the drive back that the exhaust valve behaves differently now.
Before when downshifting in manual mode, the engine revs blipped sounding great above 3000rpm.
This is really muted now and the exhaust is quiet until around 4500rpm.
Lotus did mention a few software updates had been done. Has anyone else had the same outcome?

I just had the first service completed, all warranty work. They did the A/C fix and a campaign to address water in the charcoal canister where they take it apart and cut the hose to 75MM. No water was found in my canister. They wanted $675 for an oil change, pass.

They also made 7 (maybe 8) software updates to the:

CCM- Central Control Module
VDDM - Vehicle Dynamic Domain Module
AUD - Audio Distribution Unit?
CEM/VCM - Central Electronics Module / Vehicle Control Module?
IHU - Integrated Head Unit?
TEM - Telematics Module or maybe Temperature HVAC Module?
DIM - Driver Information Module?

The car ran well before; I've never had any codes pop up or other issues (Knock's on wood). The car is also running well post the service. I've not been able to discern any difference yet. I'm hoping not to go back for any service but will probably take it in at least once per year to check for other software updates.

Sure would be nice to know what was addressed in all of the updates to watch out for any issues.

TEM - Telematics Module or maybe Temperature HVAC Module?

I would put my money on Telematics module. I just had my Emira in Friday for an update to hopefully fix the "limited telematics" warning with the yellow warning icon illuminated.

They flashed the TEM and the issue seems to be gone.

Mine went in last week and had 5 updates since its service in Sept 24. 2 of the updates were to resolve the Reduced Telematics mode and also cure the non start issue which had started becoming more frequent. All is good so far.
