My 2023 Safari is mechanically great but has multiple software issues

The software of my 2023 Tata Safari facelift was updated to the Jan 2024 version when I took the SUV for its first service before a 2000 km-long road trip.

BHPian flameofforest recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Hello all,

Here is my review after a 2000 km trip from HYD to my hometown and back.

Overall the vehicle ran great from the mechanical perspective. I mean - pickup, braking, lights, handling, ride comfort etc. All went fine. Got a mileage of around 15.5 KMPL as it was mostly highway drive.

I got the vehicle's 1st servicing done before this long trip. They top-upped the DEF, updated the software to Jan 2024 version.

Now to the niggles

• After s/w update the "Rear AC" option started working. How it works is - IF the AC is ON on the 3rd row, then this is by default ON on the infotainment option. You can switch it OFF from here - works. BUT - now with this option working - I found that the AC temperature doesn't go up/down rather it keeps it at a very low of around 18C.
• FM Reception is still Bad. I was told by the service centre that Tata will release an update so waiting.
• Android Auto Music disconnects sometimes when I switch the indicator on-off and something is in the blind spot so an alert comes. The map works but then the music sound doesn't come like the audio is suppressed with an indicator alert. You have to switch off the car and turn it back on for it to work. I guess someone else also pointed this out.
• Indicator alert, if someone is in the blind spot, is sometimes VERY loud that it scares the hell. Did try to lower the notification volume but not that useful.
• Someone did mention - whenever the lane departure warning comes on, the dashboard display automatically switches to the "Driver Assist" menu, regardless of what screen I'm currently on (fuel efficiency, maps, etc.). Annoying.
• AEB-FCW error a couple of times so this is a bit scary as I am not sure if it works or not.
• Strangely, automatically the 360-degree parking sensors went off and didn't give any alarm while I was parking last week. I went to settings and toggled them on-off and it again started working.
• My old issue of vehicle going back to CITY mode after 5-10 minutes of driving in ECO still persists.
• Memory seat failure. Received many times so now getting habituated to manually changing the position

Living with these all and awaiting some miracle to happen that one fine day I get up from sleep and it all goes away.

Cheers.
