I will try to explain.

There are two modules which should be updated for the security purpose;

1- CAS: Vital: With updated software, you cannot clone a new key, till you insert you ket into the slot.

2- FRM: Important but not mandatory: With the updated software, it avoids the dropping of the window with the key/ other methods.

A good dealer should update both of these, but in common practice, I have seen some of them updating just CAS.

HTH.
Thanks very much makkan00, I have posed the questions to my dealer and await their response!

Are you aware if there are any instances of OBD port style theft occurring *after* the CAS security update has been applied?
