MG4 Software Update Thread

I get that, I'm asking about the SW P/N as on my Trophy when this was 68.3.3.9 before (star button problems with R46) 68.4.3.0 after (no star button problems).

What does mean SW P/N? I understand that this is software version, but software of what?

Infotainment version R59, released in Feb. Version shown in settings - System, R suffix
Details here:

Infotainment system ECU

Infotainment system ECU

And that ECU needs a serious upgrade, crazy slow boot up time and delayed refresh of screen assets, like OPD options.

Considering it's booting up android it's pretty quick, does your phone boot & be usable quicker?

I thought it`s SWI68-29958-1300R59, isn't it? Ok, what means ECU in that case?

 

[MG4 Standard]

Ah yes, View attachment 29942

THX - works perfectly!

Well the SW P/N is actually something like 11-64-30-76-1
The FICM MCU is likely 68.4.3.0 (but the quote of BishiBoshi was talking about this version)
The FICM MPU is like SWI68-29958-1300R46

You've stated MCU twice ... one of them should be MPU.

It's what I typed, guessing autocorrect ? corrected now

Hello,

MG – Google Drive

drive.google.com

how/from whom U got the files?
Is there a MG-Wistleblower / MG-leaks?

Any chances to get working files for a SE SR?

Greetings form Germany

Most of it has come from RMI.MGmotor.eu
R46 came from a member that got the update from MG & they left the USB stick in the car (on page 153), which has happened again with R59 but we weren't lucky enough to get a copy
Unfortunately no one has been so lucky on a SE as far as I know
If we could find how to access USB based updates or a friendly tech that's willing to share that would be great but until that time we're stuck with whats left in cars

It happened with R59 too?

Yes, pretty quick to boot, but this should not be required. It should be in sleep mode. Which maybe needs 10 watts power or less, thus available within seconds.

Does anyone know if R59 solves the, at least for me irritating issue that for every new trip the driver has to manually set basic drive modes like one pedal drive and ECO drive mode?

Reminds me of updating the satnav on a Vauxhall Vectra.
It got so bad, the owner's club maintained a thread for people to post the required (expensive) DVD from one person to the next on the list.

It does not, and yes, it's annoying! Again, future s/w updates should retain all previous settings except for emergency lane keep (ELK), which is likely governed by legislation, e.g: must be active on start. Also, ELK should not need confirmation after selection, you're not gonna select it from shortcut menu by accident! OPD should be the default also, it's hands down the best, most obvious form of driving offering the most car control. On the driving mode, defaulting to Normal is fine, but rotation through modes, via shortcut button, disables OPD when Snow mode selected. This should not happen. These are all minor defects on my list to be submitted to MG for review, fixes.

Oh, we need have glossary in someplace with all these definitions, what is the MPU, MCU, SW P/N, FICM ...

 

[AlexC]

Yes, that would be great. If people could comment on all the known modules and their short code.

So my XPower that was delivered yesterday is on R40, reading above it should be on R59?

Why can't they just do these updates before delivery!
