MG4 Software Update Thread

Wow, a lot going on there @yllanos

 

[yllanos]

do you have access to his onedrive?

Unfortunately, no (I wish I have)

Congratulations on the great progress...

A few years ago, when all this was still unknown, a colleague found a USB drive he'd forgotten in his car after an update

So I went to my dealer yesterday. I was complaining to the fact that my car had more than a year since I bought it and had no GPS service. My service center is "Country Motors" in Barranquilla, Colombia.

Technician first used SIPS to update some modules but as expected, the problem did not go away.

The name ‘Country Motors’ reminds me of the good old GTA San Andreas days. My buddies @jamakr4 @DonBattino452 and I feel like we’ve been taken back in time.

Ah shit! Here we go again…

Car updated to SWI69-29958-1100R45 today ... only took 10 minutes tops (including resetting radio favourites and setting Dark theme).

I also checked SOH via Car Scanner while I was on ... 90.66% it said. (3.5 years old from build date).

@siteguru did you have to do SIPS as well for Tbox or did you manage to do everything via USB in the end? Sorry if I missed this in one of your threads!

Thanks. Now I only wish SAIC/MG will pay attention to our markets and activate the I-Smart app which has never worked around here. This is one of my main complaints about my vehicle.

It only works sporadically here, and nothing if the car's been inactive for a while.
Yesterday, a friend who owns a BYD told me angrily that an OTA update took him two hours; I was about to slap him.

I didn't update the TBox as I'm not having any issues with it. You also need SIPS to do it, even with the USB part being available. (This is mentioned earlier in the thread as I recall).

I only did the 1100R45 update.

 

[hojnikb]

what's the consensus on the R45 update for ~2022 SE cars? Ok to update?

 

[siteguru]

I've not noticed anything negative with it so far. The only observation I have is that R38 would default to the MG Pilot (2nd) tab when you pressed the Car icon; R45 defaults to the 1st tab. So I now have an additional tap when using the car, because I always turn off LKA audible alerts.

What's all this then...?



Facebook link not working. Basically a new mg4 owner says Android auto works wirelessly

It does on the 2026 facelift model, but the Facebook owner won't have one

You can disable LKA from the quick drop down menu

I don't want to disable LKA - I just want to turn off the beeping if I happen to approach a lane line for whatever reason.
