Mg4 software versions

[ignored]

Hi everyone! I'm waiting for brand new MG4 standard in Portugal.

For what I gathered here, are these the software versions I want to see when I pick the car up?

...R38
SC077

Are both software versions seen on Settings -> System?

And the MCU software version?

These are the latest for the SE SR (Standard) - at least for the earlier models:

It's the SWI part that's important though ... the newer cars will likely be on the SWI131 or similar software branch, in which case the Rxx number may well be different. (I don't know that the latest is for the SWI131 or similar branch).

The latest since June is SWI69-29958-1100R40

What did R40 add vs R38, do you know?

 

[Mouss]

Bluetooth pairing fix, some new languages and few minors fixes

Something interesting : SWI69-29958-1100R42 is rolling out but don't know since when...

Thank you Mouss and siteguru.
I guess this isn't straightforward as I thought. Just hope my unit wasn't in for stock too long, and get a decent software version out of the box.

Why don't you have a chat with your supplying dealer about the software levels that come with the car? Suggest that you'll take the car as it is, drive a few 100kms and report back with any issues you find as there might not be any issues at all. My dealer suggested an upgrade on my Xpower, even though I had no issues with the car after nearly 1 year. My dealer suggested I come in before the service (which is now next week) for the software updates which were performed 3 weeks ago, all free of charge, always best to have a talk with them first.

I’ll bring it up with the dealer, but it will depend on their goodwill. I haven’t even driven the car yet, so I’m not really in the best position to complain.
Just out of curiosity: when I asked the dealer whether the lane-keep assist issue had been fixed, they completely denied that the problem ever existed.
I bought the car because I got a very good deal, and I think it’s generally a good car for the price. I guess they’re trying to clear their stock ahead of the new MG4.

That doesn't bode well ... the LKA issue is well-documented, there are loads of YouTube videos where this is mentioned. The service campaign update is called SC077 and entails updates to the FDR (Forward Detection Radar) and FVCM (Forward View Camera Module) ... the 2 key sensors used to implement the LKA feature.

Mine was updated at the 2nd service in November 2024.

But if your car comes with SWI131 (or SWI132 - I can't remember which applies for the SE) then those updates may have already been included.
