I know that doesn't sound like a long time but when you're trying to merge or turn onto a busy street, it's not only irritating but dangerous. It's definitely not normal. Luckily, with the software update, that lag is totally gone now.

Exactly. The update fixed it. I had PPK1 first and still lagged. The update did the trick. Over 1 year and still fine.
