MG4 Software Update Thread

Do you mean there is no r71 for a 2023 Trophy/ER?

 

[Pisuke]

It has led me to confusion when reading @haloweenhamster's post.
The Drive file says R71 but the PDF says R70.
The R70 pdf comments:
First, Saic1.0+ is an internet Front Information control module, SO you can see 4G signal icon at the Top, if here is no 4G signal ICON, the Front Information control module is a Color Radio The software only match with saic1.0+.

@Pisuke You drive a MY2022, "same procedure as every year" .

The new information is relevant for MY2024 upwards.

Yes MY2022 Luxury in Spain =Trophy UK.

This is the first time I've updated the FICM via USB, and I'm confused by the Word and PDF documents, which seem contradictory for both models.
I thought the software for a Luxury model wasn't the same FICM as the Standard "Spain", but I see they're identified the same way: SWI68-29958-1300Rxx. I'm missing something, though.

 

[DonBattino452]

Standard MY2022 and MY2023 are both SWI69. Luxury/Trophy MY2022 are both SWI68. I don't know if if Luxury/Trophy MY 2023 is SWI68, too .

I believe it is. MY2024 onwards became SWI132, to my knowledge.

 

[Pisuke]

Sorry for my confusion regarding the model differences.
I'm stubborn and wanted to mess things up.
The update guides have confused me even more. It's clear that with the same SWI168, there are two procedures for the two vehicle ranges.
I understand that after updating via USB, it would be advisable to run SIPS?

 

[siteguru]

SWI68, not SWI168

Up until 1300R59 all Info updates were done via USB; from 1300R63 onwards part can be done via USB but the final configuration must be done via SIPS else some things won't work. (Like the target charge limit slider).

Thanks for pointing that out.

You need to read a little more this thread : RXX isn't enought to say i'm up to date or not.
You need the all build number like SWI68-29958-1300RXX

R32 usually refer to SWI133-29176-1300R32 which is Luxury (Trophy) version for 2024 MG4 (V3 version). So R32 is pretty much one of the latest for MG4 Luxury/Trophy 2024 (V3) model.

For V1 and V2 (2022 and 2023), it's SWI68-29958-1300R67 and R67 is the latest known version forLuxury Trophy.

And if you have a Standard/SE or Standard ER, it's another build (SWI69 for V1 or V2 model (2022 and 2023) or SWI132 for V3/2024 model)

Alright. So the Trophy/Luxury MY22 and MY23 models are both on the SWI68 channel.
What sounds a bit contradictory to me is this: for SWI132 and SWI133, it’s being said that a USB flash is no longer necessary and that everything is done via SIPS. But at the same time, USB flash files for SWI132/133 are still being uploaded. Huh? Or is that just me finding this odd?
I’m asking because I might need to help drivers with MY24 and MY25 models, and now I’m a bit unsure about what the correct procedure is in those cases. MY22 and MY23 have pretty much been thoroughly dissected here by now.

 

[Mouss]

I think USB is still operable in some specific cases (like the procedure some post above haloweenhamster post) but SIPS is the new way to perform updates.

And yes, MY22 and MY23 share SWI68 for Trophy/Luxury and SWI69 for SE/SE ER/Standard/Comfort.

Since MY24, update process change and USB is no longer an option (except some cases like I said).

But the USB update is still available in engineering menu so it's very confusing...

 

[haloweenhamster]

Standard/SE MY2022 / MY2023 is SWI69
Standard/SE MY2024 / MY2025 is SWI132
Luxury/Trophy MY2022 / MY2023 is SWI68
Luxury/Trophy MY2024 / MY2025 is SWI133

Originally all were USB updated but currently as follows;
Standard/SE still USB update
Luxury/Trophy MY22 / MY23 are USB for MPU, SIPS for MCU
Luxury/Trophy MY24 / MY25 are SIPS for all of it

Standard/SE MY2022 / MY2023 is SWI69
Standard/SE MY2024 / MY2025 is SWI132
Luxury/Trophy MY2022 / MY2023 is SWI68
Luxury/Trophy MY2024 / MY2025 is SWI133

Hi from Germany.

I'm a little bit confused by now after reading a lot of posts in different forums.

We recently got our "new" MG4 Luxury.
Initial approval: January 2026.
Coc says: Production = May 2024.

Entertainment version = SWI133-29176-1300R30 (matches with your list above).
FICM MCU= 133.4.5.0
T-BOX MCU = SRMP025E4Y
T-BOX MPU = SRAP027E4Y

So I only can update the whole vehicle via SIPS? I don't need any USB files?
Does SIPS update also include the recent entertainment version R36?
What about our T-BOX-Version?
Is this a recent one? Does it update also via SIPS?

Last but not least... Is a MG4 Luxury MY24 compatible with the provided SIPS version on your google drive?

As I said, I'm a little bit confused after consuming all of these posts.

 

[Mouss]

Like said before, both (infotainment and TBOX) only with SIPS cause it's a 2024 model build.
I don't know TBOX soft version for 2024 models so I can't help tou

And you can use the files in Haloweenhamster drive to download SIPS yes. But you'll also need a VCI device and a SIPS account to login

Thanks, VNCI VDI3 is on its way. Account will also be registered.

When it arrives I'll give it a try.

I'm in Italy, my MG4 Luxury my24, purchased in November 2025, has the same software versions as your car. I've only encountered three bugs: the DAB radio occasionally freezes and doesn't show the radio icon on the home screen, the CAM 360 sometimes doesn't automatically return to the home screen, and the display brightness sometimes gets lost.
I asked for everything to be updated when I delivered it, but it wasn't done!

 

[haloweenhamster]

If you attempt the FICM update you'll have to let us know how you get on
(It might be risky)
If dealerships required a new interface due to the update failing then the Vnci might not work for the bigger updates
I'd probably still try it but I don't mind risk, I also don't have a newer car to try it unfortunately

 

[mg4]

Wow this thread is grown soo much. Can i kindly ask what is the latest software version for a 77kWh Trophy Extended Range from 2023?Ithough i have the latest ove that came with the SC077 recall thing, R61 or R67, something like that. If i don't have the latest since i see mentions of R79, what are the changes? Is there some article i could have used to get my question answered or is this mega thread IT?

Thank you beforehand

 

[Tom172]

I have a MY23 Trophy (SW168?). If i get a VNCI, can i update everything through SIPS and not have to do anything through USB, or is USB still required for some things?

Also, once I've got an account and connected the VNCI to my car, will SIPS automatically identify what needs updating and download the necessary updates?

Thanks,
