Anybody know what this is about? I got a notice for software update to my smart top module....
Is it needed or meh?
It’s a firmware upgrade which they do from time to time. Below is the changelog:
2011-06-13 New product name and firmware branch (STLFBW3) for 3Series/Z4 Plug-and-Play version - v1.00
2012-01-21 Improved comfort trunk access and quick double-click mirror folding for cars with factory alarm - v1.01
2013-01-13 Bugfix for rare case where remote was not recognized on UK model - v1.02
2013-02-16 Minor update - End setup by holding stalk up or down - v1.03
2014-01-31 Implemented RED error LED status output (blinks if no data from top controller) - v1.04
2015-04-21 Fix for rare case where top would get stuck after using trunk comfort access mode - v1.05
2017-06-30 Major Update. New Setup structure and operation. More programmable functions - v2.00
2017-08-13 Fix for all-windows one-touch up function not working reliably on some models - v2.01
2018-02-20 Added Valet mode (Function 2 Setting 2) - v2.10
2018-08-29 Added Function 12 Setting 4 for immediate unfolding of mirrors when unlocking - v2.20

I can’t imagine it will make a whole lot of difference updating it to v2.22 but presumably they have done it for a reason.
