Default Software update for IPC?

On my 2014 my Cruise Control does not display the set speed; however, I noticed later model years do. Does anyone know if there are any software updates for the gauge cluster that would add this functionality?

To my understanding the IPC softwares are unique to each model year (When you put in the HMI Update in 2014 and 2015 I think you need to update the IPC to retain some edge usage functionality). They added some nifty updates I think to the track screen in 2018 and I wish I could get those, alas, no bueno.

The update is for CarPlay Android Auto Steering Wheel Controls (which the IPC controls). https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/pr...uster-upgrade/ makes it sound like you get an all new "2016+" cluster.

I'd swear my 2014 does display this. When I drive it tomorrow, I'll check

Please do. Mine just shows the Cruise active icon. It doesn't show the speed next to it.

Thanks. That's what I figured. It's annoying that they don't make updates available for previous years.

Did you look through the options from pushing the steering wheel buttons? Mine has many more "features"/info than I've ever had need for in the last 8-years. Just a thought...

Ok, so I looked today. I can't find what you are looking for. All I see with respect to speed is when I set it, it appears on the center gauge for about 2 seconds. That's it. If you forget what it's set at, you can hit the plus or minus button like you're increasing/decreasing the speed and it will pop up for another 2 seconds. You can also drive with the digital speedometer on display, but that's not exactly what you are looking for.

Verdict is there is no constant display of set speed.
