you would want to know what features are enabled/disabled with each update and any conflicts since these cars are becoming more and more individual...just my .02 tuning shouldn't be taken so lightly as a firmware update to a directTV box...if there is a conflict you may be notified by a cacophony of bad noises, or an unfamiliar driving experience, I would never opt for my ECU to be auto updated....heck i dont even like upgrading the firmware on a Standalone...once it works and is setup and tuned...leave it alone is a good way to keep it together.
I'm sure it could be made to display any release notes and prompt you before applying any updates.

besides, the cable isn't going to sneak out with your laptop in the middle of the night to go update your ECU when you're not looking.
