At the risk of imposing on your generosity I would like your thoughts on the following additions: How do I tell if the Relay update has been installed? Also, it would be of some use to me to know the priority of each item. As an example: Update XYZ is a must since it can prevent the car from catching fire. Update ABC is a nice to have because... This may help prioritize budget issues for some. BTW, many thanks to all because I only knew about 4 of the items below so I'm sure I'll be asking more questions.
