Infotainment updates

[Dick Dastardly]

Is it still not possible to update some of the cars software yourself, it is such a drag not having OTA updates, it looks like many things can be updated via the engineering menu.

Yes you can update yourself ... but you need to get a copy of the update files and put them on a USB drive. Someone here has various versions available on a Google drive link or similar.

As ever, any self-applied updates are at your own risk.

 

[Dick Dastardly]

Yep at your own risk.

Found this update wiki online which contains a link for the google drive with the files on.

Software Updates - MG4

I have downloaded my version R63 SWI68 1300, will find the balls to update it then will report back ;-D

If you update to R63 via USB you still need to connect via SIPS to apply a config update. (Some things won't work properly if you don't - e.g. the battery charge limit slider). If you can't do that then I'd suggest not updating to R63.

Yea I was reading about that on this forum, looks like I better skip R63 as I don't want to loose the charge limit slider, I could go with R59, I am currently on R30, is it worth going to R59 does it offer that much more.

If the update causes problems am I wright in thinking that I can downgrade as nothing else is upgraded only the infotainment?

I am currently on R30, is it worth going to R59 does it offer that much more.

What is your full version number? (Including the SWI bit). The 1300R63 that's available might not be suitable for your car.

SW168-29958-1300R30 infotainment ver

forgot to say 2023 trophy

 

[siteguru]

In that case the R59 and R63 packages would suit your car ... your R30 is very old.

 

[Dick Dastardly]

Like you say, if I go with R63 I will lose the battery bar slider so it has to be the R59.

I will have a look mext week when I've got more time.

I did the update and all went well, see my posts in the following thread for my experience.

This is for the entertainment display in the middle of the dash (radio)

Easiest way to see if this is relevant to you is by going to settings, system, entertainment system version and looking at the SWI number
This Guide is for SWI68
The SE/Excite is a different process, as is any 2024 variant
The Essence model is the same process but the files aren't currently available

Files can be obtained from here

MG4 FICM – Google Drive

drive.google.com

Go to settings, system the current version will be displayed
Eg. SWI68-29958-1300R63

A friend has bought a 64 kW SE and he is on the R13 software, does any1 know what is the latest software he can go to without needing a configupdate from the dealer.

As per replies you received elsewhere, if the car is still on R13 then there are probably a lot of other software module updates that the car needs, so upgrading only the Infotainment may be a fool's errand.
