Original Abstract Submitted

An update control system includes: a vehicle including an in-vehicle control device; an information processing terminal configured to communicate with the in-vehicle control device by wire communication; and a center configured to communicate with the in-vehicle control device over a wireless network. The in-vehicle control device is configured to: determine whether the vehicle is in a first state in which a wireless update process is possible or a second state in which a wired update process is possible; and when the state of the vehicle is switched between the first state and the second state after start and before completion of an update process using a distribution package, carry over a progress of the update process performed until the state is switched; and perform the update process in the switched state.
