MG4 Software Update Thread

Wonder when somone will release a hacked custom firmware lol

“You wouldn’t download a car…but I will download cracked firmware”

How do you find out what software you are running?

 

[siteguru]

It's one of the options in the Settings menu

Is that only infotainment version? Just to be clear

 

[siteguru]

Yes. Versions for other modules can only be found in the Engineers menu .. which we mere mortals can't access

It's to stop the serial button pushers and tweakers among us totally FUBAR-ing it.

Interesting. I just find it weird that people on here have R30 or R29. Unless their software versioning goes backwards, you’d have thought these were newer, but at this point I wouldn’t be surprised…

I have the R10 on my LR

I suspect that the R10 etc… is just a patch/point release number and actually for the full version number you need to look at the digits before that.

This would explain why the numbers regularly roll over.

Possibly. Though the non-Trophy models do seem to be a lot lower. I recall someone saying they’ve got R13?

For reference my full version number is: SWI68-29958-1300R24

Someone else on here showed a photo of SWI68-29958-1300R30, hence me believing that’s the more recent one. All other digits the same, just the last 2 that are higher.

What if 1300 is the version number and the RXX refers to the model/trim?

(I am just looking for alternative explanations that might explain why dealers are saying “you are on the latest already”).

Yeah. Perhaps. I guess we need a bunch of examples.

So….
SWI68-29958-1300R24 -> Orange Trophy (UK)

Hopefully we can add to this and come to some conclusions?

Edit: Based on content earlier in this thread:
Ads and Crawfyp both have/had:

SWI68-29958-1300R29 -> Orange Trophy (UK) - Crawfyp has an Orange Trophy. Ads appears to also have one, most likely Orange by their profile photo.

So that's 2 other Trophies the same as mine with a different version

Also, t3rminalV has/had:
SWI68-29958-1300R30 -> Black Trophy (UK)


Jester27 has/had:
SWI69-29958-1100R10 -> Red SE SR (UK)

Siteguru:
......................-1100R13 -> Grey SE SR (UK)

Possibly mine is one of the very first few so could well have a much older version.

 

[siteguru]

I don't know my full version number, but it is me that has R13 on an SE SR.

 

[tsedge]

Interesting, so not straightforward then and Jester had 169, not 168. Hmmm…

 

[siteguru]

I was back out in the car and had a look but it was too small to see without my glasses ... 1100R13 is the last part of my SW version that I could make out.

Adds more evidence that the last part is the version number. Jester27's from a while ago is R10, yours which you collected last week is the newer R13.

 

[AndyM]

Mine is

SWI68-29958-1300R29 -> Black Trophy (UK)

Thanks all. Had a reply from Gary with the definitive answer
