MG S5 software version thread

[stevedee]

Reading a few posts this morning, users are of the opinion that Over the Air software updates have not been implemented, & that maybe, the 'software is up to date' message can't be trusted.
It also appears that some user-interfaces may operate differently to others.

So I thought I'd post my software versions here, and if yours is newer, please add to thread;

System software;

MPU: Motor Power Unit
TBOX: Telematics Box

Maps/Nav;

My iSmart: v3.0.2

Looks like we are all using the same versions, so far!
I'm still not sure if there should be other software listed: e.g. does the User Interface software have its own version, or is this all included in the TBOX package?

No MG EVs yet have over-the-air software updates in the UK. Trials start in the spring, initially with IM5&6 and then other models like the MGS5 later in the year.

Exactly the same software version as mine @stevedee and all the others, including Portugal!

If you don't know these things, & can't find the answer elsewhere, you either ask the question or stay silent. I've never had a problem being the one person in the room that puts my hand up.

I thought I'd seen talk of an R27 version, but maybe that's associated with another model.

Me neither Steve - inquisitive - wanting to discover as much as you can about things, sometimes in a way that annoys people:

Software updates are like playing poker, or maybe Blackjack.

My car works.

My experience with Microsoft, Apple, Adobe etc is that after a software update there is a range of possible outcomes on a spectrum between brick and marginal improvement, with the average being marginal degradation.

All three of those companies is shit at software, but still a million times better than MG.

I would be very, very wary of software upgrade, as the risk/return strikes me as heavily in favour of risk.

As I say, my car works.
