MG4 Software Update Thread

[MG4 Standard]

I just recieved my MG4 Standard by the end of 2022 here in Germany. I love it, but the lane assist is super erratic and therefore dangerous. I had used lane assist in other cars, it worked well, I did not feel patronized. I would not seek to shut it off, if it worked reasonably. But THIS is not tolerable. I am really afraid, me or my wife might not be able to yank back the steering in time to aviod a crash.
I will complain to my dealership and - assuming this won´t help - to MG as well.
I can only hope more people will complain until MG finally does something.

Does anyone have more experiance with complaining about this?

Partial covering of the sensor (e.g. with a small sticker) in the upper area of the windscreen (near the rear-view mirror) makes it tolerable.
ACC still works for me, the annoying assistant systems are quiet.

This ist my personal solution till the garage fix it by updating the system software.

I don't have any version details ... my Infotainment version is unchanged at 1100R13.

I can hardly believe they didn’t update this, this must be one of the earliest versions out there.

R13 is the latest version for the SR SE in the UK

Oh, sorry, I didn‘t know there was a difference between SR SE and Trophy models, but of course it makes sense.

I like the cover solution (not as much as I would like the software to be fixed, but still). Will this interfere with the automatic headlights? Did you use a translucent / blurry sticker, or a black one? Could you post a picture?

The software is perfect in the car... Definitely 87C inside my MG4 in Tropical Doncaster ?

You mean cover the camera ? Can you take a picture of how you have covered it ? ( was thinking sliding a card in front of it from inside the car, but this no doubt bring up numberous system faults ?? )

Yes, sadly the automatic headlights get worse - but thats something I can live with.

The Sticker I'm using is withe and partial translucent.
(It's an Apple Sticker from an iPhone / Not tested but i guess an Android sitcker would also Work ;-)
Due to its color (my mg4 is white) and size it is quite inconspicuous

If you cover 2 much the Car beeps 4 not available assistants - so U may need more than 1 attempt 2 find out the best working (it's a compromise) position...

You'll get system faults If you cover 2 much...

Only 7% battery left - probably due to the sauna operation. ;-)

It's poor the things some people are having to do to make a brand new car tolerable

Even if they mixed up the units (which seems to be common with car manufacturers for some reason), that would be a still toasty 30-31C

This might be the reason why the heater in some cars has to be turned up a lot to get some decent heat out of them. My interior temperature is never correct. Right now it shows 16°C with the car parked over night outdoors where it is -3°C.

No need to put the heating on really, save energy. ?

Please let us know if and how it works for you.
I'm interested in your experience

I've coverd my Cam with an apple sticker


Update:
the sticker is a pragmatic approach to "calm down" the annoying LKA or ELK, not a final (Software) solution

Ahh, didn't register that. I'm busy looking for latest iOS or MG iSmart updates and couldn't find 'em. I'm off to take my medication.

You mean Apple didn’t get involved and sort out the software?

Just preparing for the delivery / hand over (maybe end Feb) what is the latest software that should come on the Trophy model ?

v33 seems to be applied to some alongside door lock recall.
