To Update MG4 software or Not?

Aah. Nothing to do with the quality of the software.
 
So far I have no issues with the software on my Xpower. Looking forward to what MG have on offer in 4-5 years time, will be my first port of call.
Seriously thinking of trading my excite for an X.
I didn’t buy an MG for the software. The feel good /$ ratio was driving factor. (Haa!)
I will have to overlook NMC, which seems to be less relevant as they age.
 
I'm a pensioner now but for decades I was always at the front of the queue for technology and especially hardware/software updates.
Over the last few years I've gone by the saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it".
Very soon I will be having my first MG4 service and to be honest (and touching a lot of wood) I've got nothing to complain about, I don't even turn off LKA now because I'm so used to what it's going to do.
My software is SW168-29958-1300R33

What are your thoughts::
1) Take every update possible?
2) If it ain't broke don't fix it?

Thanks
My MG4Trophy ER has just had its first service yesterday, everything worked fine before, but when I picked it up the service receptionist told me that the weather forecast part has stopped working, they would get it back in to investigate. Since getting it back home and testing it, the Bluetooth pairing has stopped working, the phone syncing of contacts and recent calls doesn't work, basically pressing the phone symbol does nothing. Checking the software reveals it is R63.
So my answer to your question is 1) for recalls and 2) for the infotainment updates. It sounds like I'm sitting on the fence but I wish I had said to the service guy just to leave the infotainment software as it is, it works...or rather it did😏🤨. Always wiser with hindsight🧐
Has anyone out there had similar problems with R63🤔🙂

R59 has similar pairing issues. Although the option sync is on, after again pairing the same it still does sync anything. Only if I want to open the recent calls or the xontact list, it starts up the process of loading everything. By now, I have 5x an MG in the bluetooth list...

I always 'forget this device' before attempting to pair again, it doesn't always work. I have noticed that after several attempts that it now pairs successfully🤔🤨. The phone button still doesn't work though.🙄
 
Apparently R67 seems to finally solve those BT issues ... but that's just what I recall from reading this forum.
Correct. I got R67 installed 11 days ago and didn't have to reconnect my phone since.
Although sometimes when you start a car and press the phone button - you have to wait a moment before it finishes "syncing process".

When I take it back to get it fixed, I'll suggest that to the service receptionist. Thanks for that.
I've experienced the delay in syncing, but this is different, it just 'pings' and does nothing.
