Question What are the latest V70 Software Updates?

My remapped V70 D5 2009 is due for service in 2 weeks (6 years/42k miles), does anyone have a list of the (if any) current Volvo V70 software updates included? What might I be missing out on update wise since it was last done in Sep 2014? I could have the garage just add them but then that will mean a 500 mile round trip to re-upload the remap... A remap that I am Very happy indeed with from Angel Tuning...

185bhp to 225bhp ~ Torque 400 to 440 lb/ft
Top Speed 134mph to 144mph (autobahn test, laden car, felt like more to give)
0-60 mph Man 8.4 GT 8.9 down to 7.2secs Man (again, think could be improved)
Mpg, brochure states Extra Urban 47.1 after BG244 clean and remap got 49.2mpg during EuroTrip using Shell V-Power Diesel.

I thought a main dealer service includes free updates automatically? Better hope that doesn't wipe the mapping....

I can opt out of the updates, which is why I'd like to find out what they are, to make that choice. Yes the update would clear the mapping, so if the updates are worth doing I can get the remap added back on, but as I mentioned would take additional hassle to get that done.

you need to tell the dealer that you have non genuine software in the ECU ...

For the first time, with the new 2015 VIDA they can now tell you which modules have an Updated software available before carrying out the service software update .
