Diagnostic VDI, VNCI, MDI with MG4

[rod93]

Hello, I would like to update the TBox. Could you tell me exactly which parameters to configure with the diagnostic tool? Thank you.

Hello, I updated my MG4 trophy from R40 to R59, one of the updates failed and now the car is showing alerts for all the systems in the dash screen. Later I was able to install R59 and now the infotainment system is showing the R59 firmware, but I still have all the alerts. I tried to reprograme all the modules using SIPS, but didn't solve the problem. Can someone help me?
Maybe with VDS I could do something, but I don't know why when I try to install it, it says "netsh firewall is obsolete" and won't finish the install

Try an older version of Windows.

Make sure you are applying the correct files for the head unit on usb. Run the auto update in sips “update all” as I recall. That lists every module with firmware and calibration vs what’s latest on the servers - you want green ticks on all of them (this is a hellish process) and if any fail - fvcm as I recall took 9 attempts and reprogramming as a replacement part. Then at the end (can’t remember when it give you a pop up) there is a config where you have to run through a procedure on level ground, pressing the brake etc - it tells you what to do.

After that go for a little drive and it SHOULD work with errors clearing down on the dash - a drive then lock the car for 10 mins and go again. As a warning it took me a FULL day to do my SE because it’s flaky.

If an update fails, you need to reprogram this specific module using the replacement function. Try doing this, it should work.

Thank you very much for your help, finally it worked, yesterday I did many reprogramming, replacement of ther fcvm and recalibrations, the alerts didn´t go away. But today morning after 7 minutes of driving all the alerts dissapeared and the car started working perfectly. R59 ACC and TJA much better than before with R40. Also Carplay is more stable. Thank you again, at some point I though I screwed the car hahaha

Question for you SIPS/VDS experts. I have had a response from the iSmart support people that I should take my car in to a "workshop" and have the telematics box reset. Is there some sort of reset other than a power cycle which I could myself?

Background: They are trying to get my digital key working.

With SIPS, there is a Routine to reset the TBOX
So I think they might be right about that.

And I think BCM (Body Control Module) and GW (Gateway) being updated could help to fix the Digital Key issues

Do you need with up to date BCM, GW and T-box software to refresh the app to get data? It does an automatic refresh when i start the app, but doesn't show data.

It does an automatic refresh when i start the app,

I find that I usually need to show a status (second icon from the bottom left) to fully wake the car before I get real data.

Nope, because the app is using Saic Motor servers to work. But if the TBOX isn't fully operational, The app won't work.
The car need data to work with the App.

The app works, the problem is that the automatic refresh don't show data. I need to refresh manually every time. After i refresh manually it's work

Yeah, it’s the same for everyone. Gotta refresh manually like 2-4 times before the data finally shows up.

 

[Mouss]

Just launch the app:

After refresh:


Sometimes, the refresh is done automatically but most time, I need to do it myself

 

[siteguru]

Another refresh maybe needed, as there's no GPS location showing. (Perhaps just as well since you've posted this to the world).

 

[Mouss]

There isn't location because the car was parked underground

 

[csutcliff]

Thanks. Will take a look and see if I can make sense of them.

Did you ever work this out? Just done all the updates to my MG5 FL except these.

I tried to update with VNCI and SIPS. I have now the issue that I can't update the IMCU and the CCU.
Also I have the problem, the car won't let me put it in P mode.
What is the failure? Can I do something by my own or do I have to go to the dealer?

Modules that fail, reprogramme individually as replacements - different tab to the one touch update.

To get it to work there may be battery disconnects needed and as for the park thing. Mine had similar but updating more modules and doing that final procedure it warns you about (parking on level ground and doing the things it tells you like holding the brakes sorted it). Also, be prepared to have to try multiple times to get stubborn modules to take the programming FVCM took 9 goes - it was painful.
