Default PCM update?

Just picked up a 2017 turbo. Thing is insane. Car is for my wife and there is a few things she wants lol. Wondering if I should update the PCM for a few new features but didn't know if this changes with new models. The one thing she doesn't like is the sirius xm layout. When it has the channel list is does not put the song under the channel. It does show the song currently being played on the left but in the actual channel list if this makes sense. Pic attached. I also know this version doesnt have apple car play/android. So will an update correct this? If so any idea what this costs? Thanks!!!

I had the same exact version info. So... After update, I now have
MHI2_US_POG24_K5136
1416
Hardware version
053
Navigation database (unchanged)
Gracenote.....
Version 11
Media Version
Dev_MMX2_PAG_NAR_G24......

Was told that this is the latest version. Can you take a picture of the Drive screen? Mine changed from what it was to more square selections, so not sure if that part is the latest, but I like the other screen better. I'll take a look and see what the SiriusXM screen looks like.

Mine looks like this now. Basically the main menu with Drive was condensed into car, plus actual drive screen changed. Cost was $500, but I can connect the S23 now with full map and navigation.

Ill get the Sirius menu in a few min and update this post

So it looks like even with the update, the sirius screen still is just gonna give you the genre of music under the station versus what song is on? This is how my BMW does.

Here is the update.
The card costs around 30 bux. It will update the main firmware and also the grace note. You can update the maps as well with this card. The only thing it doesn't do is the maps. you can find them online. Just need to download the latest year and put it on an SD card.

This is good, but does it allow android auto use after the update to the latest firmware and have you done this?

I don't think it does. I think its carplay only. I only have Apple so I really can't say 100%.
