38 is not correct.

What you describe is correct, and it's changes that come with 23.x

Thanks Iceman - at least I know that the software is "current" now.

The aircon working properly ( automatic is actually automatic ) when I went to about version 16, a while back. That was a major improvement for me too. The previous software must have broken some trade description regulations !. You couldn't make it up!.

I too was surprised that you could have an executive car which cost so much with automatic air conditioning which wasn't automatic at all. It was only when I started scanning this forum that I realised there could be a fix. I'm a bit annoyed with myself that I put up with it for so long before getting something done about it.

From what the SA said though, they wouldn't have updated the software on request anyway, so I guess I was lucky - if you can really call it lucky - to have had a few software glitches which gave me the opportunity to get it looked at before the warranty expires.

Anyway, it may be only a small thing, but as you say, it feels like a major improvement to have automatic air conditioning being properly automatic.
