No, this will not help. The thief will just continue to use the current software version, or do a backup themselves before trying a software upgrade.

(Why are these sites always talking about firmware? It's not firmware for crying out loud. It's an application)

Oh well perhaps Tomtom will do something to help (Fat Chance)

I have phone number, postcode along with screenshot of my car with Number Plate showing on my unit (thanks to Fatmanscoop) but as you say thief will use as is.

We can but try.

I must go to bed, if she says one more time "are you making a cup of tea" I will run into the bedroom and push a pillow on her FACE & hold it there for at least a week.(slight exaggeration, 24 hours should do it)
