That's not exactly true, i'm not that familiar with what their exact process is but VW corp. has a development center here in the SF Bay Area that is most likely developing MMI PCM and the VW brand stuff all together (Called IECC)Because their MMI was designed by mechanical engineers who don't actually have large software distribution experience, so they designed the firmware update to trickle in through a small straw, and not be available over the air.
Chances are, they don't even have a second partition with the next-to-latest update firmware on it, to switch back to if the next update fails. I bet they saved a whole dollar on internal flash storage with that decision ...
If someone has more insight to that place it would be nice to hear but to me it looks like they have all the pains as any other software company would with cross product vertical integrations and integrations in general... (Apple Car Play Ultra might solve this..) it could also be that they are not hiring the best available talent here since it's taken by the magnificent 7 companies.
