There is a thread hereHello, sorry. I don't understand nothing of cars, can you make a complete tutorial of how to update via sips? Hardware we need to buy, app, etc? Thank you.
There was a comment about a guide for software updates so I thought I'd write it here where all the other info is
To connect to the car you need a Vehicle Diagnostic Interface (VDI), from what I've read a VDI2 or VDI3 for MG4, I personally ended up getting a VNCI due to supply issues, it's also substantually cheaper

VNCI VDI3 Rongwei MG Wuling Baojun Datong Diagnostic Interface Compatible with OEM Software Driver
VNCI VDI3 Rongwei MG Wuling Baojun Datong diagnostic interface is compatible with OEM software driver, plug and play. It can be an alternative genuine VDI3 diagnostic interface.

They've been making changes though and the latest version of software requires a code to update and to get the code you need to fill out a form with which module and why you want to update, this then gets stored, a bit ott if you ask me
With this extra step it's unlikely that even dealerships will want to do any updates even if the car has issues
Imo it's a way to destroy the little customer support we have
Other companies give ota updates whereas mg make pointless updates as no one will ever get them
