I will shortly be updating my Base 3 firmware once I receive it (wife is holding it till Christmas). Does the latest Base 3 firmware update include all previous firmware updates like the CAB 2 remote updates do?

I believe you can go straight to the latest version.
In case you haven't seen it yet, here's Lionel's documentation about the upgrade process.
Thanks!
Yes you can.
I would make sure if updating from the App that you have the latest version of the App. Currently V1.1.047.
Thanks MartyE, it's great to have folks like you and others so willing to help forum members even if our questions seem trivial. I do have V1.1.047 Cab 3 app. I've been keeping the Cab 3 app up-to-date.

We're all learning together. It doesn't help anyone if we don't share our experiences, even if they seem trivial.
Updating from the app, I believe it only allows you to have one firmware downloaded and ready for install.
It'll list what your base is at, and all available firmware revisions. Just select the latest to download.
The process is kinda wonky as you put the base 3 in AP mode, connect phone. Then disconnect phone to get on Internet to grab lastest firmware, then back to base AP mode to install.
I'm not sure if you can preload a firmware on the phone app prior to connecting to the base 3.
Since the base needs to be in AP mode to upgrade, I don't believe connecting through your home wifi would alleviate anything in the process, other than you might be able to do it from the PC.
Edit to add, it appears you can get the firmware in the app, without having the base3.
This video was very helpful for me.
Thanks R2unit, video was very helpful!
