New Software Updates NOW AVAILABLE

[pushplaymobiledj]

I have been following this site for almost 4 years now. This is my first post, and the only reason I have come out of the shadows is because there has been a lot of talk about software updates. I am volt 1569 and the first Volt purchased in the state of MN. 2600 miles and averaging 200 MPG. Chargers are become more common here, but there is still a limited network. Many thanks to the Mall of America for being the first in the state to install chargers.

I was contacted by the volt advisor team today to inform me that a software update is now available for my volt, and all 2011 models. When I asked if he had any details about what this update will do.... he simply stated "modifications to the temperature controls and other things to extend the range of the vehicle." Very vague... so I try to dig a little deeper with no avail. No even gm-volt.com had any information about this new software upgrade yet.

I will be getting the software upgrade tomorrow...

Has anyone already received the update? Any modifications or significant changes you have noticed?

First I've heard about it.

I attended the Volt Homecoming at the 2011 Woodward Dream Cruise. A question that I asked was, "it looks like many of the new features in 2012 are software or have a heavy software component. Any chance of some of these being retrofitted for 2011 models? The answer was fairly vague but "Yes". BTW, was hoping to see a 2012 in the flesh but did not.

@ Noel,

The Volt Advisors will be contacting the 2011 Volt owners and letting them know the update is now available and you can set an appointment up with your dealer at your earliest convenience. If you have not heard from them yet, you will be soon.

Sorry, missed this thread and started another one in the ownership forum. Was told it will also include some improvements on the Nav/Radio. Hope they publish a list of the improvements.

Trevor, I wanted to say "thank you" for all that you do on this forum. Your posts are always professional, always helpful, and prove that Chevrolet cares about us, the early Volt adopters.

I have one question as I have a 2011 Volt, how do I find my Volt advisor? I've never been contacted by one and am not sure how to find him or her?

I too would be interested in a list of changes in the software update, if you can share it with us!

Not a problem voltcrazy and thank you very much! I am always more than happy to help out! Send me a message with your contact information and I'll have an advisor reach out to you and they can give you an introduction and go over the update with you real quick.

My advisor called yesterday and said the software update will be available late this week or early next week.

Trevor....are these software mods already incorporated in the 2012 MY? Specifically, all the Canadian Volts that are supposed to leave the factory Sept 1?

@ maestro,

Yes they are. These updates are specific only to the 2011 models. All of the 2012 model's software is up to date.
