Still no OTA updating? They can't yet incorporate the technology to check a URL and download it for you? I don't expect things to auto-update themselves (although its nice with Firefox and Chrome), but it WILL be nice when a polished Android Auto system tells you that an update has been downloaded automatically and is ready to install.

That's a chicken vs. egg situation. The unit doesn't have an Internet connection by itself. It needs to connect through a cellphone. But if the 1.03 update makes your cellphone compatible where it wasn't compatible before, then it can't download the update until after the update has been downloaded.
