That's correct - the only ones they know about are the main software updates listed for your car's VIN - infotainment is outside this list and hence the dealers are not generally up to speed on the latest versions available etc, and some of them aren't aware that it's just a quick and simple job...

My experience with my MG4 SE LR of a few weeks ago when I took the car in for its first service is that I had to pretty much specifically demand they update my infotainment software to R33 when I dropped it off. The problem appears to be that the dealers have a list of software updates due for...

If that's first service, it's quite pricey - I paid £62 at Drive MG North Bristol for first service on my SE LR. That said, although they updated infotainment (which I was very pleased about), they may not have updated all the hidden system software as my ACC joystick function still shifts in...

This is correct - I have mine set up this way and thought it wasn't working, but when you press the left star button a graphic comes up showing a steering wheel with what the joystick positions do to the AC, and the graphic is of the right hand joystick - and using the RH joystick does indeed...

MCU software is on 69.3.8.0, which looks to be the same as @siteguru has, so I'm not sure why my ACC does not shift in 1mph steps with the toggle stick now - did I read somewhere that I could disconnect the 12v battery to do a 'hard reset'?

MG4 SE LR March'23 - After Bath MG never got back to me since September 23 to re-book my car in for infotainment software update to R33, I decided to leave it until the first service was due. Based on positive info on this forum I booked it in with Drive MG Bristol North for the service and...

Public chargers can be finicky to get to start for sure, but in my case I had problems that turned out to be because I'd set the car to schedule charge (in the infotainment settings in the car), but in the app I didn't have schedule charge set. With this set up I had to confirm the charge in the...

I think Android Auto uses the USB link for data exchange with the car (Google Maps rendering etc) and uses Bluetooth for the audio link (phone calls, music from your phone) - the AA system has to have both connections working to function. You may be able to increase the Bluetooth volume sent...

My MG4 SE LR gets about 137/138kW on Gridserve, mfg and Instavolt when charging from 10-20%. A massive improvement on the 22kW max of our old Zoe.

I'm looking forward to our local MG garage's second attempt to update the software on our March '23 SE LR in a couple of weeks time. In the meantime, I've had a few 'ambient temperature is low, turn on battery heating?' messages come up on some of the hottest days of the year. Are many other...

If my car eventually gets updated on 22nd September, I'll let you know - the dealer was adamant that R21 was the latest rev for SE LR, but what do they know? I'll push for them to check for R29 first.

So, after deafening silence from Bath MG since last Thursday when they failed to update my SE LR software from R13, I decided to go in and have chat. The guy started off by telling me he'd tried calling me yesterday, but strangely I had no missed calls on my mobile. After that, he told me that...

We are on R13 currently (SE LR), so on Android Auto I only get voice guidance if I'm listening to music via Android Auto, not the car's radio, but I am booked in (again) for a software update on 22nd September which will bring me up at least to R21, possibly R29, which should fix the voice...

We have Carlinkit 5.0 - it works very well with iPhone and CarPlay or Google maps - although the first time we used it with Google Maps via iPhone the voice directions came out at ear-splitting full volume, nearly causing us to pass out - you can only decrease the guidance vol when the system is...

MG4 SE LR Ph1 - On a recent trip to Nottingham from Bath (154 miles), in the warm but below average summer temps at that time (so little/no AC use) starting with 100% charge, the display was indicating 51% charge on arrival and 312 available miles range after charging to 100%. Mostly motorway...

Thanks, but as mine's a lease car I don't plan to make any mods - I will ask the garage if they can increase the volume of the alert sound a bit when it's in for its software update.

I've set the video link so it goes straight to the sound test bit - he waffles on for ages before that Yes, I can see that it does make a noise when going forwards or backwards at low speeds, but the MG4's noise is definitely quieter than the MG ZS EV's, and it's a different type of sound, more...

Agreed - the Pedestrian Alert System on the MG4 does seem very quiet - way quieter than our Zoe's was. Not sure if there's any way to change that - might be possible for a dealer to adjust it. Our Zoe was completely silent when reversing though, which seems a bit unsafe to me - not sure why they...

It's often easier to set up the journey in Google maps on your phone while stationary before you set off, and press the start navigation button and it will transfer the trip onto the car's screen. Setting it up on your phone allows you more easily to review and select the routes it is offering...

Luckily it's only a 10 minute drive to get there.
