MG4 Software Update Thread

Yes.. all of the cars control systems are not related to the USB Update for the Infotainment. Only a small portion which interacts with the Modules is in the Infotainment usb update. The Car Modules (BMS, ECU, BCM ..) are updated via SIPS though the OBD Interface. Update for LKA are as well only installed via SIPS... So while updating the Infotainment the rest of the car is still "old" in SW Update

Oh it sounds like beyond me

Exactly, that’s what I meant. If a car is still running on R13, the other ECUs are probably outdated. It’s worth upgrading them as well. Unfortunately, this can’t be done via USB. You’ll need either a VNCI dongle, a computer, and access to SIPS (which isn’t free), or you’ll have to visit a dealer and ask them to perform the upgrades, especially SC077, which significantly improves TJA and LKA behaviour.

How can I find my current sips version?

Sips is a actually a windows software that allows you to install ECUs on your car through a dongle.

And with a paid license for a few hours or days you are able to do Software Updates for the ECUs on your own. I won't recommend this if you are not good with Computers and stuff related to Car Electronics. Usually this Tool is not for private persons, it is intended for MG/SAIC Car Service technicians. SIPS is quite slow and with the VNCI not always stable. I would recommend to ask your dealer for support and tell them the issues the car has, should be quite a few when original R13 was installed.
