Worth it Updating Software at dealership?

Just got this 2020 A class 250e. I don’t think the software has been updated since 2020, been getting a the notification that the over the air update is available but it won’t download on the car. Mercedes me help has given up and recommended I go to a dealership who’s charging a whooping £150.

System works really well right now but I want to get the full experience from my first Mercedes. So guys is it worth it? Are there going to be significant improvements to MBUX? I have attached the lastest software version.

thanks in advance

Last time we had the MB dealer "update our software" - quite a few things have not worked since. Hell, they even messed up the color of the vehicle in the 360 view (it is now black, used to be blue, car is blue). I for one would let @BenzNinja do it...and then, only if it is needed for some real issue.

If you have no complaints about what you have now, get over the FOMO mentality. For me, nothing is more annoying than finding rearranged user interfaces where settings previously appearing have been moved or deleted.

Or newly introduced bugs.

Old saying is right, if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
