Is it just me or did the new software updates make the steering wheel of cars with active steering stiffer?

It has changed - the steering did seem to become stiffer with the later versions.

Is there a way to check what version is installed on my car?
But your dealer can do it with the tester.

Apparently, it was tweaked for speeds below 30mph... (I guess it depends on what version you're going from and to) I think v18 buggered it slightly as I'm sure it was more sensitive when I had v13.
