The cynic in me thinks they might hold certain features back for marketing purposes - 'buy a new model and get XYZ new features'. That's certainly been the traditional model, but with the intended adoption of OTA updates, maybe they will start enabling software configurable features.

Edit: Interesting article on the TL detection. It states that the X5 has the required hardware, and support might be rolled out OTA:

OTA is coming soon. Very, very soon.
