YesDo you have to take your MG4 back to the dealership in order to get the latest software update, in my case the SE SR ?

Thank you. So Over The Air s/w updates are not yet available ?
It doesn't appear to be available but whether it ever becomes a thing is anybody's guess. I guess the dealers also don't really want loads of owners turning up wanting updates done, unless necessary and/or part of a service as it will take up time for which they won't be paid.Thank you.

Officially software updates are only done at PDI, a scheduled service or to fix a warranty issue. In these cases MG will pay the dealer to do them.I was going to ask the same thing, but with an extra. What triggers eligibility for a software upgrade? I'm assuming dealers don't call in every MG4 they've sold whenever a new version comes out. If you're aware of one, can you just ask? Or does it have to follow a complaint about an issue that the update addresses?
Yes and then they have to clumsily step through each one to confirm it should be applied, meaning that the service tech has to sit there and babysit the whole process. The updates come from MG's remote servers but it is nothing like a fully-automated process.My dealer said the service guys have to submit the individual car's VIN to MG to see what updates are available for them to install.
R33 is the latest I am aware of, my Trophy received 3rd March came with this.I have received my Trophy (last Saturday) with the following, assume it needs to be updated to R33 ?

I got the same, same day. Apparently we are lucky, as I have had no issues whatsoever with bluetooth and pairing.I have received my Trophy (last Saturday) with the following, assume it needs to be updated to R33 ?

Thanks, definitely a brand new car. I'm dissapointed as I explicitly stated to the sales person several times that I wanted it on R33. When I drove off after pickup, she stated it was on the latest version. However, reading what Spaniard has written, should I leave it until 34 ?R33 is the latest I am aware of, my Trophy received 3rd March came with this.
So it is likely that your dealer hasn't done all the updates they should have done at PDI.
(This assumes it is a brand new car, not previously owned or ex-demo).
That must have abandoned 27.?I believe the next upgrade will be 36.
I've read on a FB forum that there maybe an R36 version. But if there are no problems I would say leave it until it goes for service and if they update it then and something doesn't work you can then complain.Thanks, definitely a brand new car.

My understanding is they won’t be able to do any software updates unless they have the MG equipment which is unlikely.Here's a thought. I'm not intending to take the car to the dealer for service. My local garage which is within walking distance can do the routine checks and so on. But if I do this, what do I do about the software upgrades?
