Techline Connect Core Application
The core software update includes several fixes to reduce issues when running the application as well as when logging in or switching vehicles after closing SPS2.
In addition, several browser launch issues have been addressed, including when using the Launch Techline Connect button and signing in again once in standalone mode.
Coming up shortly, look for the rollout to begin to migrate dealerships to the required browser launch, which will enable a single sign-in to GlobalConnect for access to Techline Connect.
MDI/MDI 2
Software version 9.1.1957.116 also is being released to dealers on a staggered rollout. It contains several fixes and improvements that address connection issues. GlobalConnect messages to dealerships will precede each wave.

How about some way to postpone the update? Very frustrating when starting GDS to check on something with an intermittent problem that is currently occurring and having to wait for the update to finish.
