Gap iid ECU software updates.

Click image to enlarge

Hey guys, just recently purchased a gap iid tool 2nd hand all transferred over to my car (thanks Graham).
I did a ECU software scan and came up with new firmware updates for several things on the car. However, I'm a bit dubious on installing them in case I brick any of the ECU's. So could any of you technical experts on the gap tool and firmware updates give me any info on the attached pics and give me some advice on whether to proceed or leave well alone? Your help will be much appreciated.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it....

Every update has the potential to go wrong...!!

Excellent advice
Why do you want to do the updates? What is wrong with your car that you think the updates will fix?

Obviously JLR just write the updates for fun rather than to actually fix real issues?

Is there no documentation available explaining the changes in each update?

Tell that to the Toyota owners who lost over 50bhp following an ECU update done at a service

Toyota refused to revert them quoting some emission crap as the reason...!!

Updates are not always an improvement...

Standard IT software updates, check what it's there to fix and if you have that issue then you should be updating. Otherwise as others have said leave well alone.

This is a forthcoming IIDTool update that is worth doing when released.

I suspect you will find it was still to fix a problem that didn’t involve emissions.

I had a 3.0 Vito Sport for a while and every six months another attempt was made via updated firmware to fix the DPF regen as they had made a mechanical screw up when designing the engine installation that then had to be ‘fixed’ in software.

Thanks guys. It's just this is my first ever FF and still getting used to it. I do know the gearbox was reconditioned 2 years ago before i had it at a nice cost of £2500 but I personally think the gear changes are not as what I expect, it could just be me not being used to it. I am blanking off the egr's when I get time and read on here that should make gear changes more smoother. Hopefully I will be able to do that this weekend weather and time permitting as I work abroad during the week. Clearly I don't want to do anything untoward in killing any ECU's.
