MG4 Software Update Thread

[BishiBoshi]

Interestingly the trophy and xpower both had the same update too

Oh, you actually saw a trophy with upgraded software? That's good news!

 

[RobQuads]

It was a new version trophy though. Nothing to say the older ones will get it. I did try and ask but the only person I could see was busy all the time (bar the hired PR people)

YH, what smart cruise control setting do you have, ACC or TJA?

Just ACC.
It wasn't doing it before R33. It would just chime and pop up a message saying something like 'vehicle in front has moved on, press switch of peddle to continue'

 

[siteguru]

That's the message I sometimes get, but not often. Usually the car just picks up itself.

 

[Rolfe]

Mine's a bit variable. Sometimes it picks up by itself, but sometimes it's very sluggish and takes its time to pick up speed. (I've also noticed it being quite sluggish to get down to 20 if I flick the speed down approaching a 20 mph zone.)

I did see something in the manual about a time limit. It will pick up normally when it's been stopped for a short period, but if the stop has been longer than a specific time, you will need to press the accelerator.

I think when I've seen it it's based on that time limit @Rolfe mentions but I rarely use it in traffic so not entirely sure.

I've also seen the auto-hold switch to handbrake after a period of time stationary as well, also mentioned in the manual but only seen it once...

I've had it happen a couple of times while going through the local hand car wash.
I think it kicks in after 5 minutes or so.

New AirCon panel

Going to phone my local dealership tomorrow to see if they can do the software update to the latest version.

Getting annoyed with LKA trying to yeet me into hedgerows and smart key will never do keyless start.

I think i prefer the old AC panel....

Absolutely. The new one looks like they designed it on powerpoint. I appreciate the need to make it easier to use, but that is proper ugly.

 

[mg4mc]

Looks much easier to hit the right buttons to me. I don't really care about new look.

Any news about the OTA updates? Does the "update" button actually do anything or is it just for show?

No mention of OTA updates anytime soon, if ever

 

[stephthai]

I go my new MG4 Icon (X model) which is the equivalent to the Trophy model here in Thailand. Dealer has done all the software updates but my version shows R07?!?

The MG4 may be like the VW ID3, which also promised OTA updates, but required a dealer update to enable them.

I booked my 2 month old MG4 Trophy in to investigate zero regeneration showing on the battery screen and the dealer said that's fine it is due a recall software update. So I asked for details of the software update. This is what they told me: "carried out recall scuk001 reprogram bcm, fdr, evcc". No explanation. No briefing of what might be different about how the car handles or needs setting up when I drive. At least when I update my laptop I get an explanation of what the software changes are doing. And my re-gen still shows zero.

Again when we received our trophy back in October last year, the battery graph didn't work. They finally sent it to MGUK for repair. That's what they told us. As the garage had the car for 2.5 weeks.
When finally drove out of the garage all was well. But as time went on other items cropped up again like passing parked cars and the brakes applied automatically when cruise control was on. Still does it.

 

[Martinonline]

I've think that to get a regen number you have to do a long run or go up and down a lot. Did 178 miles in the rain yesterday through flat Lincolnshire and Norfolk and only got 3KW.

 

[Jonoffun]

I decided to join the few of us who have asked dealers the question about new software and features coming to MY22 models.

He said he had no clue, and would hopefully be able to provide some answers after visiting a MG conference on Monday.

SO... maybe we'll get more information across the board from Monday onwards, who knows.

I have mine booked in for Sept for some software updates - I was hoping it would be the fix for the LKA. If that gets sorted and the ACC works I would probably forget about comma ai3.

It is impossible to use cruise control in town or villages, you have to keep your foot floating above the pedal incase the car does a ghost emergency stop. It's very disconcerting for passengers - I just don't use it anymore. The clunk of accelerating and braking is also very annoying, feels like the battery is loose the noise is audible.
