2025 HS PHEV Software Versions, Issues and Fixes

[Bob A]

@Bob A - If you still get that 'Service Vehicle Immediately' warning you can easily fix it yourself. It came after 9,000 miles for me too (specifically, it comes after 15,000 kilometres).

• Here's the fix: How to reset service interval (remove 'Service Vehicle Immediately' warning)
• Don't forget to change the 'mileage unit setting' to be miles

As for the programmable keys, mine were fixed by the garage upgrading the Infotainment from R46 to R62 (see my post Dec 5th above).

I'm loving my car too. It's 13-14 months old, and shows 73-75 miles after a full recharge (depending on how it's feeling), but you only get approx 60 real miles out of it. Nevertheless, really pleased I chose the car.

My sincere thanks for your reply.
I'll (nervously) give it a go.
You would think the service centre would be aware of such errors.
Like you, I do like my car. Hopefully this is just a minor hiccup.
Again my thanks.

Loving it so far.

My only negativity is towards the parking sensors needing a reverse gear selection to activate, even for the front ones.

We made one of the programmable star buttons on the steering wheel, the 360 camera which is useful

At the dealership, I was told I'd be picking up the car with the latest software. Is it an R62?

I received my new car on Thursday last week, it’s come with USB-C ports front and rear and also Appleplay is now wireless. Included is a screenshot of software version but it looks like a whole new version is now out as my first three numbers seem to be different from others unless I’m missing something?

@Beng30 - Sounds great - well done! I guess there must have been a 'refresh' model released, with those new features.

Just to be clear, do you have an MG HS PHEV Trophy, that looks the same as the picture in my avatar?

Yeah heard of a few others on FB rolling out the factory with the updates so hopefully becomes more prevalent.
Mines a black 75 plate HS PHEV Trophy level.

Picked up my car today, MG HS PHEV Trophy, 75 plate, the updates that I received showed that the car left factory in China on 5th November, the dealership recieved the car on 4th December, it has both USB-A in front and CarPlay is wired, software is R55, seems like it's a mixed batch.

Your vehicle is version MY25.5. You should have heated steering wheel. Do you have it?

Also, you have V2L. Could you share a video of the CarPlay pairing process?

No heated steering wheel or if there is I’ve not found the setting or way to turn it on.
Car play just required to pair through Bluetooth as normal and now when ever I get in it loads up automatically or I just tap CarPlay on the main screen and it loads.

Definitely not there I’m afraid.

Strange. Maybe it can be added in future updates. The owner of this image is a PHEV user with a heated steering wheel and wireless CarPlay. Currently, CarPlay is not working for him.

Maybe different markets has different spec, I’m in the UK and that picture is a left hand drive car not right.
