MG4 Software Update Thread

[tsedge]

My car (a Trophy) is currently on R59.

Is there anything that R67 does that is truly worth having over R59?

I've tended to leave it alone as mostly working, but there are some niggles so I am wondering about pushing for them to be fixed by an update.

Thanks in advance.

I was under the impression that SC077 would be done automatically as part of the cars next service. Is it something that has to be requested as a separate update as the wording of your post seems to suggest. Its booked in for next Monday and I was expecting it to be done then. They have the possibility of keeping it all afternoon , but I was not expecting it to be that long. Better take sarnies!

"SC" is short for "service campaign"
It's a level or two down from an official recall, and to the dealerships it means "Do this when you next have the car in".

The reason they said "all afternoon" is that the software updates can take an hour or so on their own. The extra time is for if they fail and the tech has to start over.

Luckily, my local dealer is just off a retail park with a large number of restaurants & fast food options.

TL;DR - if your dealer doesn't mention it when you're booking in, then ask about it just to remind them.

Plus the dealers only have a certain number of laptops with the right software on them and 12V booster stations, so can only do updates on so many cars at once. My local dealer has 2 laptops with the software, so two cars max. can be doing updates at a time - and while they being done, they still occupy space in the shop so other vehicles cannot be worked on.

(It would make a lot of sense economically for MG to move to OTA updates and/or a system that could be done just sitting in the car without external power / tools).

Could some of the lucky new owners please upload a screenshot of their software version screen along with the car model? Thank you.

We have just had our MG4 trophy 2024 updated to R63 ( infotainment now on R67 ). All went well with time being the only bugbear, as in how long it takes. Car seems to drive more smoothly and the gom tells us we have gained nearly 30 miles of range at 100%. Time will tell. I'll update about any more changes we find as we drive it more over the coming days... Quite a few of the display pages have been updated like the charging page

The GOM increase is probably because a software update caused the Accumulated Total trip meter to reset - this generally causes the GOM to revert to (near-enough) the WLTP range value.

Ah ha....here was me hoping for 270 miles...
