However, this seems to have been abandoned in favour of the owner downloading to their mobile phone first then uploading the update into the car via WiFi. Seems it’s now more of a faff and much more clunky than it used to be. I guess there were reliability issues with the OTA mechanism.

They have started direct to vehicle downloads once again. For the 11/2023 OTA it first showed up in the vehicle and then I got a notice on the app. Seems to be random as to how it is delivered as some do not download directly to the vehicle.
