Recent "Over The Air" update on MGS5 any ideas?

[Joningy]

When returning to our airport parked S5 after several weeks away, there were a few abnormal displays which I hadn't seen before.

1/ "e call system fault consult handbook" on the drivers screen, followed by 2/ "When safe unlock tour phone to start Android Auto" on the infotainment screen.

3/ probably a totally separate issue, but one or other of the annoying steering wheel nudges occurs if I get too close to white lines whilst driving, despite me turning everything to off!

I popped into our excellent local MG dealership and booked in for a look and probable reset of the relevant software, whilst there I spoke to our lovely sales lady Abi whilst having a kite at the S6 in the showroom, she told me MG had done an OTA update during the period we were away (experimenting by the sound of it) and then withdrew it, Abi wasn't too sure on detail, has anyone else experienced similar? or does anyone know anything about this mysterious update and subsequent withdrawal?

Whether it happened at all I have no idea and may be nothing to do with my very small but annoying problem, which I'm sure will be easy to resolve.

BTW, my current MPU software version is SWI128-29176-1100R25.

I had the e call system fault when I left mine for a few weeks too. After a week or so it went away.

It might just be something like the SIM taking a while to get reactivated after being off the network for a long time.

I get "e call system fault consult handbook" reasonably often. Not sure but cold weather could be a common thing with it. Disappears after the first start of the day.

I think it's quite common in low signal areas.

Yes I reckon that's true @Alb , it was while sat in my garage, but not seen it before and I've sat in the garage fiddling with all the programmable stuff many times.

Have a read of this thread - MG S5 Apple Carplay/UI freezing | MG MGS5 EV Forum My guess is that this is the 'over the air update' that she was referring to. The belief is that there was no OTA update but the problem was due to a remote server problem. All S5 cars had a problem for a few days.
