If anyone is interested it turns out that this was simply a coincidence and I had a incorrectly connected battery communication module connector causing the car to have 20+ communication errors including drivetrain, gearbox, and loads of others.

This has been rectified and they installed the 1941 infotainment update due to a stored infotainment error from all the 1899 reboots. All seems well now

That's good news.

So presumably the 1941 version is now official for UK dealers to install? I know it's been out there for self-install for a while but I didn't want to risk it in case it went horribly wrong.

I'm getting constant reboots so I will contact my dealer to get the update done - I'm also on 1899

I'd assume that yes. Reboots have totally disappeared for me now, and the ui seems more responsive.
However I still have a issue with the battery communication module that's being looked at or hopefully replaced next week.

My clubsport just had it's first service and the service guy recoiled in shock when I told him I haven't had any errors. He was confused that I was on my original steering wheel  :grin:

Also had mine updated today by dealer to 1941 here in Northern Ireland after complaining that my infotainment system keeps rebooting.

Last week I also had 1941 installed by the dealer to address reboots, and had new rear camera software to stop the image flickering, the camera appears to be fixed, but I’ve noticed that since the 1941 update I can no longer adjust the brightness of the ambient light strips in the upper dash and upper doors, all the other ambient lighting still dims though, can anybody else confirm that they are or are not able to adjust the upper ambient lights since 1941 update??

Did it work ? Mine reboots 4-5 times a week..I’m on 1896 and the oil service notification popped up yesterday

So far so good, no reboots since the update
