MG4 Software Update Thread

Actually a good question ... is the option there with 1300R59 on the SE, and if so, does it actually work? :)
 
yes, the option is available and here is how it is displayed:

And the $64k question - if you turn it off, does the auto-lock stop locking the doors when you reach ~11 mph? If it does then I suspect @Rolfe may be looking at trying this update herself. :D

Oooh @Rolfe your prayers appear to have been answered!!! 🙌

Love what you’ve managed to pull off here @the happy bunny - hats off to you!

Have you noticed many, or any glitches from this? Is there anything that worked better on the old software for instance, that’s now problematic on this?
 
For the moment, I haven't noticed any bugs. it even solved one: With R33, at night, with auto lighting, the display only switched to night mode after I turned the light off and then back on , manually. Now it works seamlessly.
Hi, happy bunny. I'm french like you and a member of the MG4 forum "L'automobile-propre.com".
Are you one of them?
You do a wonderful and incredible job for all users. Thank you for sharing and daring these experiences that advance knowledge.
 
Many thanks for the files & help everyone, went from r30 to r59 with the included fcim package (mine wasn’t even listed anywhere here it was that old I assume!) everything seems to be working well & it is much, much faster 👍.

PM just sent!

I successfully installed 23Q4 maps. These update files are quite temperamental! I used my old PC running Ubuntu to format an SSD in NTFS.

After completing the update, I received a failure message. However, after rebooting the system, the upgrade appeared to have completed successfully.

Did you upgrade both MPU and MCU ?
 
Hello and thank you for your research!

Can you tell me if I can apply this on a Standard V1...?

I would also like to know if I need to find a VIN for updating the cards?

I've read everything here and I've already figured out how to go to the engineer menu...


If there is a tutorial somewhere, I'm interested.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

You don’t need your VIN to update the maps. The files available on the website where a VIN is required are identical to those accessible through this link, which doesn’t require a VIN: https://cdn.mgmotor.eu/map-data/map-update.zip.

I assume there are no differences between the entertainment systems in the V1 and V2 models, as the service bulletin doesn’t specifically reference either version.

In any case, these updates don’t modify any settings or systems outside of the ECU and the software within the iSmart system.

What are the exact full MPU and MCU versions of your car? It should start with 69?
 
Vous n'avez pas besoin de votre VIN pour mettre à jour les cartes. Les fichiers disponibles sur le site où un VIN est requis sont identiques à ceux accessibles via ce lien, qui ne nécessite pas de VIN : https://cdn.mgmotor.eu/map-data/map-update.zip .

Je suppose qu'il n'y a aucune différence entre les systèmes de divertissement des modèles V1 et V2, car le bulletin de service ne fait spécifiquement référence à aucune des deux versions.

Dans tous les cas, ces mises à jour ne modifient aucun paramètre ni système en dehors de l'ECU et du logiciel au sein du système iSmart.

Quelles sont les versions exactes complètes du MPU et du MCU de votre voiture ? Cela devrait commencer par 69 ?
thank you for your feedback.

my current versions:

MCU : 69.3.8.0
MPU : SWI69-29958-1100R33
 
So if I understood correctly :

  • Disabling version checking in engineer menu
  • Passage of version R46
  • Passage of version R59
  • Installing the card.Is that right ?

THANKS
Yes, but first, I would upgrade the MCU/MPU to R33 if it hasn’t already been done.

By the way I finally found out there’s no need to go through R46. Installing maps is the only tricky part of the process.

I took some pictures while tinkering. Since you’re not the first to ask, I’m going to write a quick tutorial…
 
Those that shared their vin I've sent 3 excel files, 1 didn't have any update history so has 1 less file
Not had chance to compare the software lists yet

Did you do the updates on a NTFS stick or just the maps?
All info on updates says to use FAT32
