New Etis software update showing "ACM"
I understand where you are coming from re economics. However, Unless Ford are charging the dealer large amounts to download the updates, the only cost is a small amount of time installing them.
So far, my dealer hasn't had any problems updating mine. Stevep99's dealer doesn't mention any cost, just that they don't bother. So it would seem that it's dealer dependent which would suggest that economics may not be the driving factor.
It could, if possible, be worth trying another dealer.

The charge is the other way round. The dealer charges Ford for the time spent on the car. So a quick ECM update might take 30 mins at what, £90+ per hour dealer rates? That's why the dealer will only perform updates they can charge back (investigating a customer complaint). But like I said before cosy up to your dealer (bottle of wine!) or find a less busy dealer and you never know what you might get for free.
