I was going to buy a movie through Google and decided to read the T&Cs. Apparently they only agree to let me play it for what's known as a locker period. The length of this period is 5 years minimum, but varies per film.

I can't find any reference to the length of the locker period for the particular film I want to buy. Why can't they just be upfront about it? Is it legal that they aren't?

At the end of the locker period, you MAY get a refund. MAY. What a crock.

The Vauxhall app sends me a download link for the PC client I need to install updates.

That turns out to be Opel Update, not the old Vauxhall Update I had on my previous PC. Why has this changed?

I install and run it and the screen says I have a map update and an update for the system display. That matches the messages in the Vauxhall app, so that makes sense. I click Continue to begin downloading the file, which takes hours.

The files are saved into an Opel Update folder under downloads. Good, that's easy to find. Now to copy them to the USB stick. The 32gig stick is already formatted as FAT32, it's got 29gig of space after formatting, plenty of room for the two updates. The copy takes an age as the stick is only USB2.

I plug the stick into the car USB socket and it's recognised straight away. Hooray! A message comes up saying do I want to install the map update. I'd prefer to do the system display update but that's not mentioned. After a few moments a message appears saying the map file is corrupt. Grrr!

I'll just copy over the files again. Uh oh! The Opel app has deleted the downloaded files after copying them to the USB stick. How is that helpful? So I have to repeat all of the above, but this time I only selected the system update so I can skip the massive map file download. It still takes an age.

I plug the stick into the car USB socket and it's recognised straight away. A message comes up saying the file on the stick is the wrong version. It won't install. WTAF! The updater program is from the Vauxhall website, the system file is selected and downloaded by the supplied updater program. How can it possibly be the wrong version - I had to enter my VIN number before I even started!?

Maybe it's the stick? I buy a new 64gb USB3 stick, so the transfer should at least be quicker. I format it to FAT32 using Rufus as Windows only offers NTFS and exFAT. Opel Update now refuses to recognise the drive at all. I've refreshed the window but the drive is not detected (though Windows insists it's working properly), so 'Continue' is ghosted out.

I'm baffled as to why Vauxhall make things so difficult. Any ideas, people?
EDIT: I have split the drive into two 32gb drives and Opel update STILL won't recognise it!

Opel Update fails to detect USB drive.
