MG4 Software Update Thread

If going from R71 to R73 is a SIPS update required or just the USB update?

 

[NLMGSAN]

Why do we need r73? Did something improve?

 

[Mouss]

r71-system vs r73 system diferences
I wonder what is vehicleservice is doing ....

Maybe something with iSMART? (User app on infotainment ?)

 

[NLMGSAN]

Maybe... Not lookinf for that. But there are enough things not working properly. And it is 2,5 years ago since the latest map update..

I was responding to P9999, didin't see page 323 before responding. But you got a point, last map update is 24Q3, it's 2 years old...

There are far better options on AA/CP, including offline (but up to date) maps when data becomes an issue.

When traveling, ABRP mated to an OBD dongle can provide dynamic trip planning that the MG stock navigation system and trip planner simply can’t match.

You can also use ABRP without need for a OBD dongle. There's a good solution described here.

Google Maps has also received an update for EVs: You can choose your type of EV and it can calculate the estimated energy consumption on a trip with planning for charging stops. Source here.

USA (and India for some features) only at the moment though. The new immersive AI navigation looks pretty!

The AI-powered EV charging features are for cars using Android Auto, presumably because they then have access to live battery SoC and consumption rate.

Hello,

When I installed the R73 version on my car and entered the iSmart user information, it gave the following error. It also didn’t update the weather. The system performed the version license approval, but it didn’t perform the map approval either. Unfortunately, activation is not working. However, the map is actively working. The screen constantly shows the error: “does not have car info (10001)”.

My vehicle’s fıcm SIPS version is 59.5.2.0.

Additionally, isn’t this R73 version the global version? There is still no language selection option in our vehicles. The Turkish language option is not available, not even in the Luxury model. This makes using the vehicle very difficult. When a warning or information appears, we have to search on the screens. Since this issue is related to important vehicle situations, it creates a safety concern.

Hi,

What was the previous version on your car,
Is it a trophy/luxury or a SE/standard?

Strange...

I also updated my vehicle yesterday morning from R71 (with all SIPS updates as of the end of January) to R73 without SIPS updates.

I only had to reactivate the infotainment system, which worked without any problems (via WLAN).

Hi All, I had a look through the comments but cant seem to find to much about Australian models, I have an Essence 64, running the SWI165 R11 software. Is there any update for this? It seems very out of date compared to the rest of the world and the dealer is no hope, they’ve said thats all there is.

 

[haloweenhamster]

A bulletin released about a year ago said for Australia to use Europe version
Will have a look for it later

Hello everyone,

In my MG4 Luxury model car, I successfully completed the activation process as follows:

While connected to WiFi, I went to Settings → Software Version, tapped it 5 times to open the hidden menu, entered the code 200519, enabled the option on the right side, and then activated AVN and Map one after the other.

Anyone experiencing the same issue can perform the same steps.

The problem was occurring only when I used the phone’s mobile hotspot. When I connected to a regular (normal) WiFi network, the activation worked successfully and updated to Active AVN and Active Map.

Thank you to all MG4 owners who replied and helped.
