MG4 Software Update Thread

[NLMGSAN]

Note that there should be two pull down menus: the HVAC pull-down as before if you swipe down from the middle, or the new short-cut menu if you swipe down starting near the left or right of the top of the display.

I mean the second.

 

[Robf]

Just for clarity, unlike the HVAC pull down menu there is no apparant pull down for the new short cut menu, you just pull down in the blank space adjacent (left or right depending on country) to the HVAC menu.

@csimeon
There’s full support for the greek language in R63

I congratulate our neighbor Greece. Hopefully, Turkish will be next; we are still waiting.

I wrote these posts while experimenting with enabling Trophy release features on an SE model. It's now outdated because most features, including maps, have now been made functional, and R63 has since been leaked online.

Could you please post any hints @
Enabling Trophy release features on an SE model ?

Sure…

MG4 Software Update Thread

So, I can place the update.zip in both the root directory and the AVN_MCU folder to use the same USB stick with the SE Engineering Menu and the Trophy’s menu? Good to know for the next time! :) I’m going back to r38 tomorrow. This time, I’ve kept the m5d check and vipimage. Hopefully, there...

I run a USB C memory stick with music from it.

Definitely works in the same way (SE/SR 2022)

I have R29 on my Trophy. Going in for alignment check next week and have asked them to update it to R30, if possible, at the same time.

Added mine as well, good job!

Curiously the lady dealing with the paperwork said when they hooked it up to the computer they found a strange or weird (can't remember the word she used now) software version was installed which they hadn't seen before so have reported it to MG and will get back to me if anything else needs doing. Not heard anyone else mention this before, the only thing I've done is apply the maps update by USB, but the system flagged something amiss

So I had a call from the dealer that did my service saying they'd had word from MG now that I need to take it back in for a software update - they couldn't tell me exactly what would be updated, only FICM needs updating, but they updated that from R46 to R59 at the service and I'm pretty sure they also updated some other modules as ACC seemed better, and most of the issues I raised were resolved apart from BT pairing. Maybe they'll take it to R63

If I'm remembering right ... it's the TBox that needs updating to properly resolve Bluetooth issues.

 

[Mouss]

I got the TBOX updated but still got Bluetooth issues. I have R63 now

 

[haloweenhamster]

Mine hadn't connected via Bluetooth for several weeks with pairing requests frequently (I had given up)
After updating TBOX my phone connected without doing anything and has been ok since

 

[elenc]

Hello.
Tbox:
S.O.C.
SNAKP23E32
MCU:
SNMKP23E32
Are both updated by simply loading the corresponding TBOX file onto a USB and connecting it to the vehicle's USB and loading it?
MCU using SIPS

 

[MDWMG]

Has anyone managed to pursuade a dealer to update their TBOX under warranty?

Dealers have to quote an acknowledged issue to MG in order to get paid for warranty work, so I would be interested to know what fault I should report to get it done.

I've had everything else updated under warranty but Bluetooth is still a nightmare.

TBOX MPU from USB and TBOX MCU from SIPS
Took me 10min for both of them

 

[haloweenhamster]

Obviously jinxed it, just got in & had a pairing request, so the dealership was right, still no fix for the Bluetooth as everything is the latest bar the drivers seat, I hope that has nothing to do with Bluetooth

 

[tsedge]

Has anyone explored whether the engineering menus or the update systems let you code new TPMS sensors?

I am getting tyres done soon and I am conscious there's no way to reprogram the sensors to the car.

 

[Alb]

The sensors stay where they are so are unaffected by a tyre change.

 

[Martinonline]

But you must specify to the tyre-fitters that the wheels must go back where they came from. (I had my rear tyres changed recently after a puncture and insisted.)

 

[Muffler]

Changed my XPower tyres to all season ones when new and ensured the garage kept each wheel in its original position to avoid a problem with the TPMS. The manual advises to regularly rotate the tyres for even wear whilst also noting that moving position requires recoding of the sensors by MG. The manual for the 5 also says to rotate but, that after doing so, driving above 40kph for 10 mins will reset sensor readings to their corresponding positions.

 

[siteguru]

I guess the MG5 uses the old VAG method of tyre pressure monitoring which automatically adjusts for wheel rotation, whereas the MG4 has powered sensors inside the wheels that are hard-coded to each corner.
