MG4 Trophy LR
Has anyone got car scanner working with their 4?

I am thinking it is a profile or app setting issue.

I had it working fine on my ol MG5 Trophy.

PS if anyone can suggest another free app happy to give it a try.
 
Last time I used it (a while ago) Car Scanner was working fine with my MG4. In fact it worked so well that I was happy to pay for the app.

What OBD adapter are you using?
Have you selected the MG4 profile in Car Scanner?
If you look in Car Scanner at Adapter >> Advanced settings, can you see ATSTFF in the Custom initialization string? And is Use custom selected?

(My full list of custom string options are:

ATZ
ATE0
ATH1
ATSP0
ATS0
ATM0
ATAT1
ATSTFF
)
 
Hi thanks

Attached screenshots.
I had used the obd on my previous mg5 with no issues.

I am not at the car now but I was going to try the 2024 profile see if that works.

What software version does your car have? SWI68 or SWI131? If the latter then the 2024 profile is probably what you need.

How do I check that? I got the car new a month ago but I believe it is a 2023 build. That said it has all the latest updates done before I collected it. I think the info system is on R68 or something like that :)
 
It's in the menus on the Infotainment screen - tap on the Settings cog icon then tap on System.

If yours is something like SWI68-29958-1300Rxx then the 2021-2023 profile in Car Scanner would be correct.

Thanks found it. SWI68 so I have the right profile chosen. So back to the drawing board.
