MG4 Software Update Thread

[Michiel]

Be sure to plug it in the USB-A port, USB-C won't work.

Yep chargers phone using USB A port

Have you tried deleting the BT pairing (in both phone and car) and also deleting the AA connection in the phone, and then starting again?

Sometimes computer stuff gets in a fankle and just needs a fresh config.

 

[Wadda]

Have you tried a iPhone see if CarPlay works?

 

[killie20]

Got it working by restarting phone while cabled to car. Gave up on the Mrs Samsung as it's not even charging. Thanks for helps

Am i the only one hoping the new feature of 'customizable and memorable custom MG Pilot' settings trickle down from the MG S5 to the MG4?

Yes it would be good, but they probably won't as they seem loath to update cars as it is . Can't see them adding features regardless of how good they are. The new model will of course have this feature.

Wishful thinking

It would involve multiple hardware changes which MG are extremely unlikely to do until they facelift the MG4 in a year or two.

 

[Michiel]

They can do the same thing in current MG4 software. Maybe in the R74 release.
Could you explain me which hardware changes would be needed to add some icons on the homescreen dropdown menu?

The same reasoning applies for not having OPD on the MY22 cars ... MG say it is because of hardware changes - I say it's because they can't be arsed to invest any time (AKA money) in doing the software changes to add it to the earlier cars. (ACC/TJA will bring the car to a complete stop - so the capability is already there).

Using ACC in stop start traffic is in effect OPD, so I can't see why they can't add it to older models using software.

 

[siteguru]

Exactly. If the MY22 cars need to use the physical brakes to bring the car to a complete stop, So What? (In fact that methodology would probably remove the "unexpected reversing" syndrome that some have reported when using OPD going down a hill).

Yet the custom settings still demand three menu actions. Various cars have a single button for this...
BTW, I did not see any proof that you can store LKA choices.

I turned mine onto alert only and its remained since setting. Very rarely goes off, doesn't mess with the steering wheel.

 

[NLMGSAN]

Huuh? So it is saved? What sw version are you on?

Mine (R33) saves the sensitivity setting, but it still jerks the wheel when it's set to the lowest setting.

 

[NLMGSAN]

Alert is one of the modes. The one that does not intervene. Sensitivity is separate and is indeed stored

 

[MattyS]

I'm on R63 btw

So you set it to alert mode (not lane departure assist or lane keeping assist) and each time you step into the car alert mode is enabled?
