MG4 Software Update Thread

[Lesterp]

Just got home after 2nd service on my Trophy and discovered that they had left a USB stick in the car……
Amongst many folders (mostly empty) is ‘usb_ota_update.zip’ which contains txt file showing SWI68-29958-1300R67
Is this what everyone’s looking for?

 

[BishiBoshi]

That looks like the one! Any chance you can upload it somewhere for us to download?

 

[Lesterp]

I’ll have a go….. and get back to you.

Not as tech savvy as I used to be, so tell me if this doesn’t work.

Dropbox

 

[BishiBoshi]

Worked for me! Nice one. Usually the root structure is like this though:

The uploaded file just looks like the file that is found within the AVN_MPU folder.
If you have these on the drive and could upload these too that'd be great.

I'm sure others would be interested in all the files on the USB at some point as there may be other new files also.

This is the folder structure (slight overlap on pics)
Almost all folders are empty and Dropbox ignores their upload.

Do you have the md5_check.txt and vipimage.bin files in the root?

No, those files aren’t anywhere on the drive. If you look in the extracted folder, under ‘META-INF > com > Android there are two files, ‘metadata’ and ‘otacert’ which may be the equivalent of md5 and vipimage?

Actually it looks as if those files are the same in every release or at least R46, R59 and R63, so we should just be able to use the previous file if necessary

It seems you need to have an iCloud account and be signed in to be able to view the shared content.

Oh well, BishiBoshi seems to have things in hand…..

Will you or @the happy bunny put it onto some data space to grant access to all? This would be super nice.

You can try uploading to my Google Drive here: MG4 R67 – Google Drive

Sorry to hijack this thread...I have a potential software/configuration related issue with my speedo unit, and wondered if anyone here could offer any pointers...thanks! Can a second hand speedo/driver display be encoded to my car?

Maybe he bought it on the Patron Website..

No, I haven't paid for it and who would within their right mind? Apparently from Trips, the files look like the real deal, will find out on the weekend.

Share it already! I feel like bricking my car this weekend

Can you please Post the Link to the Download of R67?

Seem like Lesterp has uploaded his one. Save me time uploading it.

You might want try asking here; Diagnostic VDI, VNCI, MDI with MG4

But have you tried replace feature in SIPs first, before you get another cluster?

 

[Lesterp]

OK - Looks like everything uploaded to here (BishiBoshi's Google drive)

MG4 R67 – Google Drive

drive.google.com

That should be a complete copy of the dealer USB stick, empty files and all.
Enjoy!

At the moment I don't have access to SIPs, so was checking to see if anyone knew whether the IPK/cluster could be wiped of the previous VIN and restored to a 'factory fresh' state?

Good man. Thank you. I've removed the upload permissions now in case of any bad eggs.

If I understood correctly, can I use the missing md5 and vipimage files from older versions? Does the R67 also include a newer MPU version?

 

[mg4]

I just got the SC077 and R67 updates few hours ago by the dealer. All part of the second year service check. Trophy Extended Range model with rear wiper.

Overall it looks quite an improvement over the previous R46 version.
Main fixes:
Software:

• able to turn on OPD now every start of the car, not that i use it
• able to change the left star to 360 camera instead of it being stuck to Regen levels
• apparently the AC is fixed, so it should not blow freezing cold air when set to 28C
• lane keeping assist seems way gentler now, time will tell
• I have the new Navi Route planner thing. My next project, figuring out how to get more chargers in it and how to tell it to use only Tesla for example.
• i cannot open the "volume" or AC menus by swiping down while in AA, was expected because of some Android overlay issue, but then weirdly the AC (right star) does overlay the quick AC UI over AA. Go figure.
• Navi keyboard seems to have bigger, more touch friendly keys?
• No new maps available, still on 23Q4, i read somewhere there should be 24Q3?
• bluetooth should now never forget my phone
• changing lanes is almost life threatening now, was similar but with gentler acceleration. All on MG Pilot. The situation i got into 3 times during 4 km ride was: 2 lanes in the same direction. One has 2 cars waiting for the green light and the other over 10, slowing down. I am in the queue, so i optimize the throuput by moving into the lane with 2 cars. Dotted lines, i indicate and the car changes from slowing down perfectly to stop behind the car in front of me, to all of the sudden seeing a lot of free space (say 8 car lengths). Before it would speed up then immediately notice the error and slowly stop behind the car infront. Now, i had to apply the breaks since the car launched at full throttle and never (well, not for 3 car lenghts) applied brakes. I am hopeful it would have gone into emergency braking, but scared the crap out of me.

Hardware:

• new wipers, old ones were bad from the start and became useless last few months
• new polen filter
• no mention of changing the brake fluid, need to double check.

All in all, 404 EUR for what the dealer called (big maintenance, direct translate from Dutch). Including the new wipers and filter.

I cannot seem to find guides or threads on how to use the route planner and maybe some comparison to ABRP?
