I doubt it will be a software update. The older systems (like my 2013) use the CDMA network. That network is being shut down and will be completely shut down by the end of this year. Only way to continue it is to install a newer technology cell phone transmitter in the car.

What do the newer cars use? LTE?

Here at Acura we are having the same issue. Newer LTE based modules are supposed to be ready soon, except they are not free unless your car is still under warranty.
