Unlock to pause charging firmware

[N2STY]

Hi I have a September LR Trophy and lucky enough to have the unlock to stop charge so was thinking I would share what firmware my car has
I used a android app that's in play store

eZS - Apps on Google Play

OBD2 Scantools For MG ZS EV/EP/HS PHEV

play.google.com

And this OBD2 adapter
Amazon product ASIN B08BPC179W

BTW it is a side effect of the so called Anti Bricking update that updated the
• VCU
• EV
• CCU
• BMS
• TC

Anti breaking?

Yes there was a big problem with gen2 cars becoming undrivable after rapid / DC charge there was a update end of May that dealers were meant to do especially on pdi but plenty are just not getting done and the unlock to stop charge was a side effect of this update

I think should have been Anti Bricking.

We picked up our LR Trophy on the 18th March 2022 so just missed the update that was released only a few weeks latter.
I don't find a requirement to use D/C rapid chargers, A/C home charging only for us !.
But, no doubt it will get upgraded by the Chorley lads at it's first service time.

Thanks! We finally have some Mk2 baseline data.

I just compared those firmware versions with those of my Australian Mk1, and only two firmware versions are the same: FDR (ForwarD Radar?) and PEPS (something to do with Power Electronics, perhaps Protection System?).

It looks like the unofficial Thai app needs some changes to accommodate some ECU ID changes, e.g. DCDC, TC, EPB. Especially since TC (Traction Control?) seems to be involved in the set of firmwares that need to be updated for the anti-bricking fix.

Anyone else care to post their Mk2 version numbers? It would be especially helpful if you suspect you have not had your anti-bricking updates, or don't have the ability to pause charging by unlocking.

I would not expect the Gen 1 and Gen 2 software / firmware to be comparable anyway ?.

Why they share some of the same technology

 

[Lovemyev]

The motor has different spec's on the Gen 2 from the Gen 1 version.
Voltage changes on the pack when fully charged to suit the motor, plus the weight difference of the car, due to the larger traction battery etc.
Therefore I would expect changes to the software mapping to be different from Gen1 to Gen2.
I have no facts to back up this theory, just my gut feeling at work .

I was thinking
Radar
Auto wipe
Abs
Airbags
Sort of stuff

I was thinking passive entry passive start ie for key fob detection
