LATEST VERSION / EVIDENCE STATUS
There is no verified universal version here.
As of our 4 October 2026 source check, we have not established a public UK release list identifying the current approved version for every JAECOO model and module. We therefore do not label a number from another owner’s screen as the latest version for your car.
Ask an authorised service centre to check which updates apply to your vehicle. A newer infotainment build, a phone-app update and a vehicle-control software campaign can be different things.

Three different kinds of “update”.
The phone app
Updating the phone app changes that application. It does not establish that vehicle software has changed. Record the app version separately from the car’s displayed information.
Read official connected-service guidance →Infotainment and connected systems
Screen layouts, connection behaviour and displayed version fields can differ. Photograph the information screen your handbook identifies; do not assume a menu path from another model applies.
Find the correct manual →Dealer-installed vehicle software
Ask which module and campaign are involved, why an update is proposed and whether settings will change. Request the job description and software information the retailer can provide.
Keep the service evidence →BUILD A USEFUL BEFORE-AND-AFTER RECORD
Record it once. Make it meaningful.
- Identify the car. Model, powertrain, trim and model year. Keep VIN and registration out of public screenshots.
- Identify the module. Note the exact field name and full version string, rather than shortening it to a final digit.
- Describe the concern. Write down the trigger, settings and whether it repeats. “Bluetooth drops when…” is more useful than “software is bad”.
- Keep the service record. Save the date, work description and any campaign reference; ask what was actually updated.
- Recheck the same scenario. Record what changed and what did not. One successful journey is an observation, not proof of a permanent fix.

Can I update my JAECOO myself?
JAECOO’s general telematics FAQ discusses OTA, official USB downloads and dealer updates, depending on support. It does not prove all three routes are available for every UK car. Use the instructions supplied for your specific vehicle and update; if none are provided, ask the retailer.
Do not treat a firmware file shared in a group as an authorised download. Before an approved update, follow its power, connection and installation instructions exactly. Save any settings the instructions say may be reset. If the process fails, record the message and contact the service centre rather than repeating unrelated procedures.
What counts as reliable update evidence?
Official confirmation
A dated manufacturer notice or retailer record identifying applicability and work carried out. Confirm a notice covers the exact vehicle; an app banner is not an infotainment release note.
Check the manufacturer guidance →Owner observation
A before/after report with version, model and date is useful supporting evidence. It remains one owner’s experience unless independently confirmed.
Read source-labelled reports →Unverified discussion
A rumour or screenshot without model, module and date is a lead for further checking. It should not be presented as a release, recall or fix.
Make your report useful →We will publish release entries when there is attributable evidence, with model, module, source and date. This first edition is a checked guide, not an automatic live release feed or a claim that the club has installed every update.
JAECOO software update questions.
What is the latest JAECOO 7 software version?
We have not verified a single current version covering all UK J7 variants and modules. Ask your service centre to check applicability for your car, and compare complete version strings for the same module.
Does an update fix every warning or fault?
No. A fault needs diagnosis. Do not assume a software change fixes a concern because another owner reports improvement. Preserve the original symptoms and the work record.
Is every owner report a recall?
No. Owner reports, service updates and official recalls are different records. Consult the source-labelled fault tracker and your retailer for applicability.
