What software version is the latest

[RetiredPope]

Hi,
Picking up my ZS T LR on Friday and have requested that the latest software and maps are installed. But, what is the latest versions and how do I check?
Thanks in advance.

I was thinking to ask the same the other day. Anyone knows?

Newest map is 22Q2 at the moment
As for head unit @Lovemyev may be able to shed some light on this as he's just had an update done
They're the 2 things you can see from the car
As for the various ecu's you need a obd reader I know the DC charging update had side effect of being able how to remove charge cable just by unlocking car shouldn't really be an issue on a new delivery car

I done a quick video to see software No. And map version my car is a trophy long range

There is a few other short vids on my channel that will help set up car

Perfect, thanks.

Are updates delivered over the air, or car needs to go to dealership every time?

Sat-Nav you can do yourself (see attached PDF). Firmware updates are done at the dealership.

And what does the dealer normally charges to upgrade software?

There can be a fee if it's not to fix a problem but should be free with a service as it's part of the service to check and update software

Thanks. My car is only 3 days old. So I’ll check the version and if needed see if they can me a solid.

I thought smaller updates were automatically installed over the air.

Updates for the infotainment CAN be done over the air.

This is sadly the reality with a lot of Chinese products.

"CAN", does not in any way equate to "WILL"

If memory serves, the software versions depicted earlier in this thread, was the same version my April 2022 MG ZS EV had, so if i am right...In essense, the infotainment has not received a single update since, atleast april last year.

Map updates were never intended to be OTA, they are rather large. Map updates download onto a USB stick, then you put that in the USB socket of the car and let the maps update this way. Pretty seamless experience, other than it taking 30+ minutes.

Lol, what do you think this car is, a Tesla?

MG have yet to go beyond the 'supports Over the Air updates' stage yet...

If your car is working OK why worry. An update could make things worse.

I'm pretty sure updates are normally for improvements

Picked up the car yesterday and thanks to the info provided on here and video from N2STY, we confirmed we had the latest software.

Ah, but this is MG we're talking about.

Yeah but they mean well

Just like Microsoft when they update and crash your pc. If it ain't broke why risk it

The firm I leased Moby through have decided that servicing is getting done via a 3rd party, one would assume that they wouldn’t be able to offer the updates.

I’ve approached MG MK & asked how much they’d charge for an update outside of any servicing & will report back here should anyone else have the same issue.
