What do you want to connect that isn't working and that you think enabling USB OTG will fix?

Further to your query... checking via the ChatGPT MG4 Tech Assistant...

Does the mg4 support usb OTG?
---

The MG4 supports USB storage devices for music and video playback, as well as USB connections for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.


However, the manuals do not mention USB OTG (On-The-Go) host functionality, such as connecting USB peripherals (e.g. keyboards, controllers, or other USB devices). The system is designed to recognize:

• USB flash drives (for media playback and system updates).
• Smartphones (for Android Auto / Apple CarPlay).

There is no official support for OTG connections to arbitrary USB accessories.


If you want, I can check whether the infotainment hardware has hidden engineering functions that might expose OTG (since some service manuals describe USB update and engineering modes). Would you like me to investigate that?

I checked the engineering and service manuals for the MG4, and here’s what I found:

• The USB ports in the MG4 infotainment system are used for:
  • Playing media from a USB storage device.
  • Running software/firmware updates via USB flash drives.
  • Smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay / Android Auto).
• To perform updates, the infotainment system has an engineering mode, which you access by tapping the software version number multiple times and entering a password (200519 or ##4479#* depending on the module). In this mode you can select “USB upgrade” to refresh infotainment or TBOX software.

However, nowhere in the manuals is there support for USB OTG (On-The-Go) host mode, i.e. the ability to connect and use arbitrary USB peripherals like keyboards, controllers, or external hard drives. The USB port only recognizes flash drives and smartphones for the supported functions.


So:

• Yes → USB can act as a host for firmware updates and media storage.
• No → There is no documented OTG support for general USB peripherals.

It looks like you're out of luck with that.

Still, you never know. Someone may have found a hack...
