MG4 Software Update Thread

[Able25]

As this is a thread about the MG4, in the MG4 board, I feel owners of other models need to be clear if they also own an MG4 and are talking about that. Taken in isolation, @Able25's post doesn't make sense as their profile shows a ZS EV.

Apologies I own an MG4 and put in the wrong model when creating my profile. Will work out how to update it!

Looks like you fixed it now.

Had the service done today - absolutely no difference with the software - its still a pain to use and looks dog ugly!

You should find the LKA a little bit less murder-y if you accidentally leave it on now.

The Chinese version has good software (totally different software). I am sure that the people who make the EU software are not the same as the CN.

Where do you get this info from?

I've just been in to my local dealer (Lincoln, UK) to see if there's an update yet for the LKA twitch. They checked and said there are no campaigns at the moment. Owners won't automatically be told, we have to keep contacting them periodically to ask. They are reluctant to run any kind of update unless they really have to as it can brick the car and the head unit would then have to be sent away to MG to be reset.

(2023 MG4 SE LR, MPU Ver SWI69-29958-1100R16, MCU Ver 69.3.5.0).

Just out of interest, what am I missing out on if I'm still on R16?

So there is no LKA update avaliable at all?

There doesn't appear to be an update for anything so far that they're willing to run.

Euro NCAP was like "yeah we spoke to MG, and they have a update avaliable now"

 

[NLMGSAN]

There was an update last autumn smoothening the ELK for cars equiped with it. This is most likely the one that NCAP referring to.
Those mg4's that did not come with ELK were handed the option to shut down LKA all together in the dropdown.

I do not know what type LBJB has and when he got it, but if it's one from late 2023 he could very well have the latest updates.

I had a so an update of a few modules that was supposed to improve lka and I can't detect any improvement in the system. I don't even use the good lka on my oldish Mazda because they're all a bit dodgy on a & b roads but it's a dream on the motorway and helps enormously, the mg on the other hand still does an erratic pull of the wheel when I'm going past junctions on the motorway

One bug I have heard about with R46 is that the left hand custom button won't stay bound to its setting - is this still true?

Just had my in for a service and updated to R46 and I cant change the left hand function button. No matter what I do, it resets back to Energy Recovery.

Mine is saved, but sometime doesn't work at all. Not often tho.

Just talked to my rep at the dealership I got my car from 3 weeks ago (they did a checkup call if everything was working fine) and asked about OTA updates. They told me that MG had confirmed that OTA should be coming this year to European models.

as long as you believe that the 'salesperson' isn't telling porkies

I mean they are the official importer of MG's to Finland, who handle the updates, warranty, representation etc. Wouldn't think they would say something they had not heard first hand from MG

Reliable OTA updates would help a lot, at least with infotainment bugs.

Great if true

My french delarship tells me last week that a new verison (R58) is coming for Luxury, in order to bring the route planner. I get a MG4 MY2022 updated in R46 in september and they will call me if it can be installed on my Luxury...
