Default frunk update

I wish this was me saying its out, but its not. I did hear its scheduled to come out tuesday evening though. As soon as it lands I am hopping on a plane.

will this be pushed through onstar or does the car have to be hooked up to wifi?
and if pushed through onstar will this happen whether the car is registered to a personal account or not?

Your dealer should have enrolled your car on line to ON Star. Push the blue button and complete your welcome call and set up your trial wi fi . The you should be able to complete the Up Date.

OTA Updates are done via WiFi.

Shane says it will not need onstar or WiFi.

makes sense gm would not leave updates up to a subscription or owners that never hook their car up to WiFi.

That's because the NCM is doing the update as part of PDI. Chevy issued a delivery stop order. No car that needs the update can be delivered to the customer until after the update is done. The original frunk recall was an OTA update and many did the update themselves by connecting to their home WiFi. There are plenty of cars already in owners hands that need this update. They can do it OTA (WiFi) or can take it to their dealer to have it done.
