The update takes max 90 mins, allow some time for faffing about with ramp space, connecting the power supply, maxing out the warranty time unit charge, say 2 hours. Any more than that, either something is wrong, they don't know what they're doing, or their ISTA laptop needs an update. To be...

UK dealers, as at 11 June 2021, only have S18T-20-11-530 available to upload (November 2020) which, as expected, will not permit full screen carplay.
