MG4 Software Update Thread

[haloweenhamster]

I just bought an hour pass but it's not working, it's "error".

Can you confirm if the pass is the one to the right of the SNW?

@Pisuke Please stay cool — you’re doing a great job so far, and you’ve already achieved more than 90% of all MG4 drivers.
Regarding the login credentials: You need to check the portal carefully, as two are listed there. Make sure you use the one with 9000.

I've finally managed to log in. I was doing it right, but all the scribbling is making me nervous.
Any advice on how to update it further?

 

[Pisuke]

One question: while logged into SIPS, could I log out to log into VDS?

What about ESCL? There's a .

Well, I'm going to give it to him...

It only says Configuration or Replacement. Which one should I choose?

So, regarding the and , is there anything that can be done or does it not matter?

@Pisuke You don’t need to worry about and — you’ve made it
In the main overview, where all control units are listed individually, you’ll see everywhere.

Have fun while driving .

That's the same for me.

Looking forward to learning more, this is a big step for me, thank you all so much...

Hi!

300 page thread is kind of daunting...I'm on a 2025 51 kWh base model and my current software is:

I'd appreciate any pointers on what version I should move to and maybe a threadmark on instructions on how to do it myself (I don't drive a ton so I don't want to wait for a service). I've had zero issues with this version (other than Carplay sometimes not being detected on the first try) but I have seen some screenshots of a way nicer way to access climate control, which in my case is a swipe and a tiny menu button away, guessing that's on a newer version.

Thanks!

@Pisuke You're from Spain, aren't you? You can help other Spanish speaking people that aren't so familiar with SIPS and all the technical terms. Just an idea .

@JanS Keep attention . You're software is for South America. Look at the end... "_SA".

Well, taking advantage of every last second, I checked the VDI and found error code 61DTC.
I gave it a clean and it's as green as the Amazon rainforest...

It seems like people are a dab hand at doing these updates now, which is great.

With my 2023 Trophy (phase 1), can I update the infotainment myself with USB only or do I need SIPS etc... for that to work? I am on R59.

Tom, since your question got lost in the noise of helping @Pisuke ... ... R59 is the latest that can be updated solely by USB; going to R63 or later will require SIPS in order to apply the configuration update, else the charge target slider (at least) will no longer work and only 100% will be recognised.

Thanks. That's probably why my garage stopped giving me updates after R59. I will sit tight. Things work well enough and I know where the bugs are.

When you say CarPlay, are you referring to a Carlinkit device or a smartphone?
If it's a Carlinkit, there's a delay in the settings so it starts shortly after the vehicle; if so, it's usually set to around 16 or 18 seconds.

My Xpower was upgraded to R67 last December on recommendation of my dealer. Charging slider works as it did before, no issues. Your dealer has access to SIPS, so updating to R59+ shouldn't be a problem for them unless you didn't have any issues, so no update recommended by the dealer?

No update recommended because they wouldn't get paid for the work (unless they charged Tom, or there was an issue recorded for which they could do this as a warranty job paid for by MG UK). They're businesses not charities.
