Uk software update
Hi all, anyone heard any news on the UK software update? Mine is currently 2.00.03 but I’ve seen features that I like and improvements to the workings of the centre screen from other parts of the world that show 2.00.12.

As far as I know, dealerships are currently the only ones able to install S/W updates. Nothing is coming via OTA, that I know of. I had mine in, a couple of weeks ago, to get the latest. I was on 2.00.03 and had heard about the 2.00.12 being released, but when I got mine back, they had only put the 2.00.06 on.
No massive changes. Some of which are:
- Previously, when you indicate and turn left or right, you get a full screen surround view take up the whole centre display. With the update, they have that in a smaller sized window that you can move around and close, so doesn’t take up the whole screen.
- I’d say the ‘bing bongs’ do sound like the’ve been toned down. Still there but quieter I think.
- New Karaoke app on the Home Screen.
- I think you can have a 3rd Seat Position/Configuration saved now.
- On the New Energy page I think I’m seeing a V2L option now, but is greyed out. Maybe you have to have stopped and have something plugged in to activate it??
- Possibly improved the Android/Apple Connectivity.
- I haven’t used the native maps app but think I heard that might have been improved with respect to charging points.
- It does leave you with a couple of buttons on the Air Con screens that are now written in German. For me, everything else is in English. You can still use the buttons. It’s not terrible but definitely not right. Dealership hadn’t noticed but confirmed that other cars they had updated after mine were doing the same. They have raised it with Jaecoo, and they think they are hearing that a fix will be out soon. We’ll have to see how long it takes.
- Probably some other minor bits
Not sure about any DAB Radio improvement. Feel that is still some ‘module’ they need to fit. Have to see.
I have the PHEV and still don’t see any actual difference between EV and HEV modes. Mine always uses the battery all the way down to sometimes 16% and only then will the ICE kick-in. It’ll then do a mix and use the ICE and regen to bring the battery back up a bit. I’ve been expecting the Super Hybrid System (SHS) to be more prominent, especially on HEV with a full battery, but no matter what speed I do, it still just uses the battery. Maybe the SHS is only when you’re below 25% battery, but I really can’t see the sense in even having an HEV mode if it acts like an EV all the way down to 25%. I might be wrong, but after explaining it to Jaecoo, I feel they are telling me that in HEV with a full battery and driving at (for example) 60mph, it should be using the ICE due to the SHS. They then advised that a S/W update might resolve it. I seem to be getting told conflicting things though so who know.
Hope the above helps Richard

Dealer might do it for you, if you’re interested in doing it yourself, DM me.

Hi is there a way to downgrade your firmware

Hey @rob, how can we upgrade it ourselves? Can’t get hold of a dealership to do it!

What about version 3.2

I am having a nightmare with this tbh I get varying and usually different statements depending upon who in Jaecoo I talk to. There are many YouTube videos for UK out there which show things like multiple profiles, ability to add apps to main screen and lots of other goodies but dealers have no idea and Jaecoo support don’t either. Sorry but it’s time thie organisation started to be corporately communicative and get their act together as well as stop telling us poor owners to simply contact dealers.
