I asked at a Melbourne Ford dealership a few weeks back. At first the service desk were all a bit suspicious and looked at me like I had 3 heads. Then a passing mechanic mentioned that Ford had recently locked down updates in that dealerships used to be able to search and download all, but now downloads can only occur once the car is plugged in and Ford will advise any allowed updates based on the VIN. Apparently that's all they can do now.
Oh and they wanted $160 to check so I declined.
