    MG4 Software Update Thread

    My 2024 SE LR is coming up for its first annual service where the dealer should (as I understand it) update the s/w to the latest spec for free. Currently the infortainment shows: MPU Software Version: SWI69-29958-1100R21 MCU Software Version: 69.3.5.0 What should I expect it to show if the...

    I smart App

    I don't know if this helps but for two months the iSmart wouldn't connect with the car at all even though it was bound. I contacted [email protected] who suggested variations on "turn if off and on again": reinstall iSmart, factory reset the car! Essentially ‘restore to factory...

    MG4 LR - changing the Custom driving mode

    @siteguru Thanks for your reply. I like that the settings include regen as well as power, steering feel etc. It's a pity that it suffers (at least in my s/w version) the same problem as setting the steering wheel left-hand star button to control regen. After a couple of days it forgets the...

    MG4 LR - changing the Custom driving mode

    I have an MG4 LR bought in April 24 (MPU s/w version: SWI69-29958-1100R21, MCU s/w version: 69.3.5.0). I love the car but tend to fiddle with the controls when I can. One of the driving modes is Custom but I can't find out how to change what the custom settings are. I've tried the owners'...

    Roof bars

    I've now done a couple of longer trips (2x110 and 2x170 miles). The first with nothing on the roof, the second with two bikes on the roof bars (Thule aerobars + cycle mounts). As well, I've done over 2,000 miles locally mostly with a clean roof but some with just the roof bars. In normal use I...

    Roof bars

    Don't know yet - only just received the insurance info. I'll update this when I've done a long drive in a week or so but my guess is significant. On our ICE Golf it took the consumption from 50+ mpg down to about 40 mpg (so maybe 25%) on a long motorway drive. However, it's always tricky to...

    Roof bars

    As OP (MrSkyBlueCar) suggested, I contected my insurer (a part of LV). I pointed to the Thule option (I already have Thule roof bars) as on sale and implicitly approved in the EU. They said no problem and when I said I wanted something in writing sent me a revised insurannce certificate stating...
