A vehicle computing system for a vehicle includes a first and second memory device (e.g., erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM)). The system further includes a circuit that selectively switches between the first and second memory device. The system further includes a first vehicle control module configured to receive notification that a software update is available at the second memory device. The first vehicle control module controls the circuit to switch from the first memory device to the second memory device at an initialization event. The first vehicle control module executes the software update based on communication with the second memory device.
