MG4 Trophy LR
Hi guys,
I've got a 24 reg LR Trophy (UK) but it's still running the R40 software.
Would you say its worth updating as I've not run into any major issues so far?
 
I had loads of issues when on R40, and the R63 fix really made a difference. Far less display crashes, error messages, bluetooth dropouts, losing radio presets and the like so I would definitely recommend getting the update. …and the service update for the LKA makes a huge difference, so no need to keep turning it off anymore. That should be applied when the car goes in for R63 (or anything else)
 
If you've got no issues then no need to update at all. I designed and developed software for decades and stability was always the aim. Chasing the 'highest' software release if you have stability can often lead to instability. Leave well alone if you don't have any issues.

Which car do you have Dave? Your profile shows Not an MG. 🤷‍♂️
 
I have a 24 Trophy Extended that came with R40.

I managed to get the dealer install the SC077 update, they were not keen to say the least, and i updated Infotainment to R59 myself and I'm now very happy with the car.

I didn't have many issues with R40, usual odd bluetooth repair and odd slow boot but that's about it. I only put R59 on as the wife still hates LKA and wanted and easy way to turn it off. IMO LKA is fine now and I don't bother to turn it off.

It might be my imagination but I think R59 audio sound is also improved over R40 but too be honest there isn't much difference between 40 and 59.

I might try R63 one day if I'm brave enough to risk doing a SIPS update myself.
 
I own a 1 year old MG4 Trophy ER just had a service.
Had a problem with the greeting wrong location wrong date could not switch it off. They sorted that shut it off. Radio used to switch off when going through my village whilst on DAB now sorted. Phone used to drop out now sorted. Cruise control now can be changed in One Mile increments. The car seem a bit nippier not my imagination. Free wash. £177 : 00 bit steep for what they do. Copious amounts of hot chocolate 👍🏼 nothing but praise for Ancaster Dartford PS you lose all you favourites during updates
On another matter as I have changed my email address I have had to re-register can the powers to be sort out how to change this as I am not a novice.?
