I got my letter today to book the MG in for it's first service, Not sure I want them to change any of the software that's installed in it as it's running brilliant.


@Simondi Did you have your first service on yours? I know you got your MG just before I got mine. Did they change anything on the software side of yours? & more importantly did you get your free MG teddy bear?

The latest software is pretty stable, ours has been fully updated and is much better for it. MG will insist on updating the software and refusing this could invalidate your warranty as some of the updates protect the battery and drivetrain from potential damage.

Not sure about Simondi but we got the MG teddy on our first service

I was afraid of that if I didn't get the new software updates, I'm one to leave well alone if it's running OK. Still not sorted out our Octopus electricity account from Avro energy yet!!!! They're still waiting on Avro energy to send them the final bill.

I wouldn't worry too much. The updates do bring a few benefits such as being able to regen whilst fully charged and they also reduce the battery pack voltage slightly which should increase the life of the pack. There's also some safety updates such as the main fuse update which resolves a problem where the big fuse in the battery pack could blow leaving the car without power.
If you haven't had it also really recommend the comfort 2 update which removes many of the annoying bongs etc and improves the various displays.

Mine came with only part of the Comfort two update with no warning bongs, It's still on the original 455v software.

Odd they only did part of it, sounds like they didn't apply the USB part for some reason. Biggest changes are temp display on the main screen and permanent range displayed on the cluster both of which are very useful.

From what I've been reading quite a few people have only had part of the comfort 2 software update, It's booked in for this Wednesday down at Wigan MG so I'll make a note of the software/BMS version I have installed in the menu.

Well after the service it looks like I've still not had the full comfort 2 software update as when I plugged it in to charge after arriving home it still has to have the doors locked before it will initiate a charge. I thought the full comfort 2 update allowed charging whether locked or unlocked.


I was going to ask the MG technician what software updates they carried out but by the time I got back to the dealership to collect it he had gone.

Just got around to charging it to 100% & it didn't get any software updates as it's still on the original 455v software!!!

Seems a bit strange as everyone else who had their first service has been updated to the full Comfort 2 update


I didn't get the 'First service MG Teddy bear' either

I connected up the bluetooth OBD scanner to my phone & took a screenshot.

Just had mine serviced, they did the update on the stereo bit not the battery so ours still shows 455v.
That said it's running really well
