Just updated to MV-090.000.061 TV-090.000.061 using jwq's instructions (thanks jwq) and have noticed it now doesn't remember the 'easy entry' setting (where it slides the seat back a bit when you get out of the car & forward when you start it up).
I set it to 'ON' and it works OK on exit but is always set to 'OFF' next time I start the car & I have to move the seat forward manually. Is this a bug in 090.000.061 ? - or nothing to do with the update and I've got another quirk ?

Not heard about this problem before.... Lot of the older cars didn't have the option to set easy access on/off, but apparently you did. Tempting to think it's the software version, but as said, not read about this problem anywhere else .....
I don't suppose you have the dreaded blinking odometer ? .... That would indicate a CAN bus error, requiring a proxy alignment

Which firmware version did you have before this update ? If it was lower then 072.xxx.xxx , it could mean you need an update of additional modules, as stated in the update info ..... That would be dealer only .....

No blinking odometer thankfully and it was on 085.000.046 before.
I tried to revert to the previous version to test as it's an option on the menu but it wouldn't let me do it :confused:

No, don't think anybody ever got that working.....;)
As you came from 085.x.x. it shouldn't be a problem with updates for other modules.....

If you realy want, I guess you could re-install 085.x.x. .....
I doubt that's the problem, but you never know.....

I think I'll just live with it then although it is handy for getting in & out of the car in my rather snug garage.
I could see if my dealership has got any ideas :ROFLMAO:

...so, the plot thickens. Replacement battery hasn't fixed my problem.
I'm thinking the new one wasn't very fresh or I've got a parasitic drain somewhere (although car is 100% stock)... or it IS something to do with the infotainment firmware update :ROFLMAO:

Voltmeter is showing 12.2 with ignition on / engine running & 14.2 when braking - is that what would be expected with IBS & a brand new battery ?
(apologies for thread hijack)

The so-called 'intelligent' battery charging system of the Giulia and Stelvio, at least the pre-20MY ones, is that if the battery state of charge is above a threshold then the alternator only charges whilst braking. Threads in the Giulia section go into some detail.
Your voltage measurements are consistent with that 'logic'.
