MG4 Software Update Thread

[tsedge]

Thanks all. Had a reply from Gary with the definitive answer

Great, another useful response, communication is finally improving a bit.

Ok, so the versions are different by trim level. Not quite sure what “elements may already be installed” means though.

The car is not one software "lump" necessarily. It has individual modules each which could be updated independently. So perhaps that is what Gary means?

Maybe, but we are only talking about the entertainment unit here… perhaps he was indeed referencing the modules as a general reply.

 

[AdamskiEM]

Perhaps. Maybe the main number is the infotainment level, and the R version is the combination of all the other firmware? So to get R30 it’d need the LKA module to be at the most recent update

I took a photo of the SW version screen in my car, in case it helps anyone.

Seeing all the versions here I have popped a google sheet together that people can add their version too to see exactly where we are. I think the model and range is a big thing here. (although colour seem to vary too?

I can do some graphs etc to show what we have.
Link <——- you can edit the sheet here.

 

[siteguru]

Are we supposed to be able to enter details directly in that sheet? (I can't - at least not as shown in the post, and I can't see a link to the sheet).

Edit - I can see that you're adding as you go. Mine's an SE SR in Grey, acquired 25-Nov-22

Yep should be able too. May have to play with some protection cells. Should only be the cells A-H can be edited.

MG said R13 for SE and R30 for Trophy are the latest versions based on the email I got from Gary Smart. Once I eventually get mine back I'll be able to see if they actually did anything to change mine from R24 by applying the LKA update.

This also reflects what people have reported so seems correct even though it's come from MG directly

I have R29 on my Trophy. Going in for alignment check next week and have asked them to update it to R30, if possible, at the same time.

 

[MG4 Standard]

Hello,

here my (Dover White/German Standard = UK "SE") versions:

Software-Version Mikroprozessor SWI69-29958-1100R08

Software-Version MCU 69.1.0.9

Is yours an SR or LR battery?

PS - form should be from in your signature

Re. the Sheet ... SWI69 seems to denote the SE trim and SWI68 the Trophy trim, so SWI68 incorporates the different screen layout.

It's the small one - 51er battery (sr)

 

[AdamMGEV]

Mine is a Trophy Grey

 

[AdamMGEV]

Anyone had a software update with Chorley MG yet? I'm still waiting.

Looks like the trophy’s are running 1300 too.

Yes, I think this all makes sense - they wrote the Trophy software first, hence why so many versions, then created and iterated the SE software from that, then have localised it for other markets.

Hi All,
I Collected my car (its back at the dealer now with faults...whole other thread), its SW versions (as of last Wednesday) are:
Entertainment system: SW168-29958-1300R29
Telecoms: SNAKP18E32.

I have the "pre-production hardware" message.

 

[AdamskiEM]

I don’t get why they aren’t putting R30 on new cars…
I’ll be testing mine with an android phone when I get it back, no doubt it’ll have the same pre-prod message
