Implications? Yeah, not experiencing issues like the OP. Have you had rear pads replaced at the dealer and found the right rear caliper hanging loosely by one bolt after driving home? Or return home (sixty mile drive) from the dealer after an oil change to find a smoking car due to the oil cap being left at the dealer and three quarts splattered about the engine compartment? Or discovered the rear seat loose after having the fuel sender RECALL performed. Are any of us 100 percent sure the screen will actually clog or that our turbos will actually fail while we own them? My dealer gave me a free oil change due to a screw up on my S5 so I applied it to the S8. So, the next time I changed the oil and filter I discovered they hadn't replaced the filter but probably suctioned the oil from the top and left the filter. Why would I know this? Because I use MAHLE filters and scribe a date in the plastic end. No way will I have them touch my cars again.
I sense some well placed hostility. There's that common theme in your experiences - dealer, dealer, dealer...
.
That said, I sympathize completely, but would urge you to address the screen update issue one way or another. Some will differ with my opinion, but failure can be quite random, and we really haven't tied it to anything perfectly concrete here on the forum - other than it does happen more frequently in certain model years, and that it can be a troublesome, expensive repair. However, many of those who were inclined to do it themselves have commented that it's not really a terrible job, either.
