Howwwwww. Someone needs to sacrifice themselves......

Before any members get ideas, how about sacrifice the car first and when it's bricked.......

Does nothing on my Phase 1 MG4 SE SR

Any other guidance? (e.g. READY state or not? Anything else?)

PS - there's no Telephone tab (tile) on my car; just an icon down the right to bring up the phone screen.

Didn’t seem to have any effect on my phase 1 trophy other than making telephone key beep noises when typing. Threw caution to the wind and just went for it

Different regions have different software, so may apply in Indonesia where the Op is but to in UK/EU.

Trophies already have a method to access this (or a similar) menu.

 

[leonkernan]

Doesn’t do anything on my Australian 51 either.

edit: the original wrong code. The new edited one works fine as posted further down.

 

[halogen]

wait.. you guys have no telephone app in the car?

 

[leonkernan]

Yes, got the phone app, but putting that code into it doesn’t do anything

 

[halogen]

ah. guess it isnt an worldwide feature ... must be asian region only feature

 

[Coulomb]

guess it isnt an worldwide feature

I'm pretty sure that they all have an engineering menu, but for whatever reason they must use a different access code for different regions, or perhaps different versions of software/firmware.

 

[halogen]

ah now we know. if someone knows the code for eu spec. pls do share...
i got my car language updated from thai to english in the dealer. while he was updating. i took a sneak peek hehe...

Are you guys already aware of this.. just found it on YT
On ismart app?
FOTA?

 

[leonkernan]

Those 4 digits don’t relate to your vin number somehow do they?
I‘m wondering if it’s like the last 4 digits of the vin or similar?

FOTA (OTA) is not yet available. MG advertised this feature for the MG4 (like VW did for the ID3) but it's not yet enabled. (VW enabled it 2 years after release - and you had to go to a dealer to get the software updated so OTA worked).

Hahaha. Nonetheless. I tot it was thought the number looked familiar... but november. Good find tho if it is..
