Diagnostic VDI, VNCI, MDI with MG4

[haloweenhamster]

Interesting
I wonder if we get blacklisted after a period of time and we will need to sign up again with a different email address and VAT number etc?

Tried a new account with different details & payment as I thought I may have been blacklisted, new account was the same but could have been IP blocked
I'll try it again in a bit

Thank you for the update.

Have you managed to login again?

Hello everyone and thank you for your work.

I have an MG4 S1 and I would like to do the updates myself...

I read post #64... But I cannot find an active and functional link for purchasing a VDI.

Then I have an account on Welcome to nginx! but how do I get a business account?

THANKS

You should register as a business to RMI, it's in the registration page. Then with a business account you can buy the diagnostic rights which gives access to SIPS and VDI

Thank you for your feedback.

If I already have a private account, is there a way to change my account to professional?

Yes, hopefully we can use that as a more technical forum than here.
I’m keen to see how they did that too!

Got it! The trick is the On Screen Keyboard.

I used the Bluetooth settings, Device name to bring up the keyboard.
Hold down on the comma until the settings appear.
Select Android Keyboard Settings.
Select Languages
Use the search box at the top to search for any Android setting.

I searched for About, went to about phone and turned on developer mode.
You can also search for Wifi to turn that on.

Works on the SE for sure, should also work on the Trophy.

Here's a video to help explain it:

Try logging out of mg then signing in and pressing and holding the @ symbol. This works in Amazon music at least

I'm on a standard. I don't have Amazon Music.

Depending on your keyboard layout the keys might be different.
As long as you bring up the keyboard somehow, it should be a matter of holding that same key to the left of the space bar as in the video.

There was a comment about a guide for software updates so I thought I'd write it here where all the other info is

To connect to the car you need a Vehicle Diagnostic Interface (VDI), from what I've read a VDI2 or VDI3 for MG4, I personally ended up getting a VNCI due to supply issues, it's also substantually cheaper

VNCI VDI3 Rongwei MG Wuling Baojun Datong Diagnostic Interface Compatible with OEM Software Driver

VNCI VDI3 Rongwei MG Wuling Baojun Datong diagnostic interface is compatible with OEM software driver, plug and play. It can be an alternative genuine VDI3 diagnostic interface.

www.vncistore.eu

it's recommended to update connected via USB but I have done some connected via WiFi which worked fine

Once you have the interface you need to install the software on a windows computer, VCI manager & SIPS for software, VDS if you want diagnostics as well (VDS requires a more powerful computer, not sure what spec)

software – Google Drive

drive.google.com

VDS zip password is VDS3 (Google remove it otherwise)

Open

http://RMI.MGmotor.eu

If you haven't got an account you need a company account to get the Offboard Diagnostic subscription, 1 hour is £5.92, 1 day is £16.24
When you have paid click top right where it shows your name then user profile, you'll see SNW this is the login for both SIPS & VDS

Some of the MG sites if you login it'll get you to change the SNW account password which also affects the software, if you get a long subscription it maybe advisable

Open the VCI manager, click connect (not currently in the car, might update this screenshot)

Open SIPS, login using SNW details
View attachment 30586

click vehicle identification, it'll confirm VIN click yes
View attachment 30582

you'll get lots of error messages on the car as it checks the different modules, confirm car (EH32) click yes, it'll show the configuration of the car with different pages available on the left side

You can view current versions on the car Vs server by clicking ECU Information

Connect power to 12V battery (charger/maintainer) so battery doesn't go flat during an update

If updating a single module go to Programming and Config, this allows you to program, load the config, program a replacement module

If updating multiple go to One Press, select the ones you want or select all then click next

It'll say several calibrations are required after updating, I've used the car for a while without doing these but I have also done them, doesn't seem to be any difference either way

Can't currently update TBox due to requiring a USB to be used first, don't currently have access to these files or where they're stored for dealerships, I know where thanks to a dealership but I don't have a login

If you want/need to calibrate go to Routine & select required module

Hi, I tried the updates today but it doesn't work. When I start the reprogramming, after a while the 2 screens of the mg turn off and I lose the connection with the vci.
What does "don't let the vehicle turn off through the screen" mean?

 

[Onehebergeur]

hello I take advantage of the message to have a link concerning an mg4 compatible diagnostic interface?
THANKS

If you need to use sips and such your best bet is a VNCI VDI3. You can easily buy one on AliExpress

Don't click power off but both screens will turn off when it starts programming
What does the battery voltage say bottom right on sips?
Do you have a 12V battery charger on?
Have you done something like get out of the car or pressed the brake pedal when the screens go off?

Same type I'm using, works both WiFi & USB

All right. SIPS indicates a voltage of 13.5V since the car must be powered on but not ready. I didn't put in a 12V charger since I thought the car would stay on. When the 2 screens turn off I have my vnci Vdi3 which turns off then turns on and therefore I lose communication. I wonder if it's not my vnci vdi3 the problem.
However, I don't press anything during programming.

 

[haloweenhamster]

Connected via usb? Usb connection should keep vnci powered

 

[Lebarbu]

Yes connected via USB. Do you have different lights and a button under your vnci? When I'm connected, I have just green and blue light turn on.

 

[Lebarbu]

I think it comes from my Vnci. I did tests over wifi and I have a lot fewer vnci restarts.
But when reprogramming I always get an error "ppf file run failed"

 

[agenttalha]

Yes connected via USB. Do you have different lights and a button under your vnci? When I'm connected, I have just green and blue light turn on.

I am thinking to buy vnci vdi 3 to program modules. Should i buy it?
