Intriguing thanks Leon

Does anyone know what this circled area on the back of the rear vision mirror of my Aussie MG4 Long Range 77 MY24 is? My guess is some kind of sensor I'm not sure if I should install my dashcam stuck onto the windshield in a place that could block this possible sensor, or it doesn't matter

I have written several articles about Australian MG4 electric car software updates so readers often ask me if there’s any more recent news about this topic. I’ve written below about everything I know so far including a detailed quote from an MG Motor Australia media spokesperson. Please let me...

Bear in mind that person would have bought it for much less than people in other states. In Qld the excite 51 is $34000 ($40K less 6K government rebate)

Even those may not be reliable soon :( since Elon has sacked the whole team

Since they purchased an MG4 Essence 64 I've been having a discussion with group member Alex AKA wattmatters about their experience driving, servicing, charging etc. Here's a detailed interview incl frustrating North NSW DC chargers during road trips, how Alex uses V2L at home and Home Assistant...

I spoke to my media contact at MG Australia recently and he said that they're working on an MG4 software update to save custom settings , no hint about if or when it will be released

Or just go to another MG dealer. Some are being more helpful and installing available updates for an hourly rate. Which is fair as it can take hours or even a whole day to install all of them

Good question , since I'm not an MG4 owner I don't know how you'd opt in Were owners of the Aussie excite 51 emailed to let them about the free software update enabling OPD , for the small batch of cars that didn't have it enabled?

Agreed personally I think it should be a mandatory update dealers have to do and covered free by warranty

Thanks Leon :) Here's the info about the update for the Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system in Australian MG4's Hopefully it fixes the scary phantom braking issue Before anyone in the UK or Europe asks about their MG4 I have no idea if a similar update will be available for you, sorry...

Not a good idea as most odb gadgets are insecure so someone walking past could pair with it https://www.iternio.com/abrp-obd

That doesn't sound fun :( when testing EVs I've found that with many cars it often helps to hold the heavier DC harging cable in the car socket with slight lifted up pressure, til the charge has started. Otherwise charging won't start

I agree there should be a separate email/sms list for all buyers, just to send service info, recalls, software updates

Software update questions for Aus are answered here I had an extensive discussion with their Aus media spokesperson MG4 Australia software updates FAQ: MG spokesperson explains details - Electrifying Everything

There are quite a few things you can do for free or by spending varying amounts of money to improve the MG4. I've detailed them here combining all the best ideas from UK and AUS :) https://www.bhatt.id.au/blog/easy-diy-upgrades-for-mg4-in-australia-improve-lighting-looks-safety-and-more/

Good question I just got some answers from MG Australia about MG4 updates MG4 Australia software updates FAQ: MG spokesperson explains details - Electrifying Everything

Yes because all dealers were told to do that update by MG

Ask another nearby dealer how much they charge/hr for software updates outside of a normal service visit. I'm curious about the answer. Not surprised that they charge though, apparently car updates are quite time consuming with different changes to add one by one, not press update and walk away.
