Headunit TAS500 update

Hello. Just got yaris hatchback 2019 model at Greece. It comes with TAS500 headunit. Is there any way so we can manually check for updates?

The TAS500 is not available in the UK so info will be limited on a UK based forum, however a quick look on Techdoc suggests the latest software version is 19.6.0 this is lited on a technical service bulletin:

Hello everybody. I recently changed my ToyotaTouch 2 to the Tas-500 system, but unfortunately I cannot find anywhere the plastic piece that covers the head unit. Do you know its code so I can order it at myToyota officine? Thank you very much
