MG4 Software Update Thread

[tsedge]

My SE SR has Infotainment version R13.

Let's hope it is lucky for you.

 

[tsedge]

I am thinking there are two different versions across SR and LR, is that right?

 

[Oberoy]

I think the 2 latest versions for infotainment are R13 for SE(think same SR and LR) and R30 for Trophy

I’m currently on ver R10. Not getting any real problems but yes the android auto screen is annoying if I use it.this is on my LR.

In any case I guess this has no guarantee that the car software is updated for LKA etc

As Miles said on the podcast.
Most of the update stuff is buried and only visible via the laptops used to update.
The only one you may see via the screen is the infotainment system software versions.

Thank you, it’s a pity though, I do like reading a good changelog.

It would not be a changelog, just a list of current versions. The data is available in the "secret" engineering menu.

Who has had their software updated? I took my car in and they didn't know how to do it.

Change your service dealer if you can - software updates are nothing new and have been around for decades; if your dealer doesn't know how to do it then they can't be "MG trained". ?

Don’t want to hijack the thread… my car is in for other stuff. I told them to update the software because it’s at R26 at present (it’s a Trophy). They say they’ve updated the LKA firmware but that’s all they are able to do because there’s nothing else that’s applicable!! I’m tempted to take it elsewhere when I eventually get the car back.

One thing I have seen others with on their cars is a different looking Home Screen. One with the weather missing, larger Apple and android icons, and a large right hand control for the aircon temperatures. How is this done? I don’t know whether it’s just part of the latest update, or something I’ve missed where you can just apply some customisation to the Home Screen.

My car doesn’t remember the LKA, driver awareness detection settings between starts of the car, hence me wanting a software update, as some people seem to have no issues with it remembering stuff.

Thanks

I believe that the SE and Trophy have a quite different home screen with the SR (which I've got) not displaying the weather etc . If you've got a Trophy you might want to asl where the other bits are!
FWIW my car seems to forget everything between journeys, sometimes during journeys!

 

[AdamskiEM]

Interesting. I just find it weird that people on here have R30 or R29. Unless their software versioning goes backwards, you’d have thought these were newer, but at this point I wouldn’t be surprised…

 

[Batmanbooyah]

Does the software update OTA? Or does it need to go to a dealer to update?

 

[colsky]

I believe the infotainment software updates OTA, but not the rest of the car software. When I was at my dealers they said they'd gone to do an update on a car, to find that the car had actually already done it itself OTA!

 

[siteguru]

The infotainment software can update OTA, but that's not enabled/available yet. All other softwares are dealer-only as they're updated via USB stick.

That's often "dealerspeak" for we aren't doing it.

The Trophy has "Additional Services" which include weather, live traffic and Amazon music which is why the weather is not displayed on the SE.
