I have the same dongle issue and now switch CarPlay off by pulling out the USB plug by 1mm (not out completely) and push back in on next start-up.

Checking back on Loop, in both cases where Loop recorded 12 kWh on my bill, the graph was an absolutely straight line at 3 kWh fo 4 hours. In all other cases where the car battery showed charging had occurred the graph was jagged but more than 3 kWh. (It’s a 16 amp charger) Like the...

From memory- If you swipe left on the Home Screen one of the tabs is Vehicle. Tapping this gives a Power off option which is like the old ignition switch. Switch off and then press the brake to restart. Saves getting out of the car. I’ll check my memory tomorrow and let you know.

Me too, telling me I haven’t registered for the first time in 4 months. Haven’t retried yet - just looking to see if others have the same problem and if anyone has a solution.

In the MG app under Remote Control, Clicking on Travel lets you search for a destination and then click Send to set it up in the in-car satnav ready for when you Travel. This is much easier than trying to enter a destination on the infotainment screen. However, once you’re in the car, and...

When I bought the car in August, I asked the dealer to guarantee that I could do 220miles in midwinter (visiting elderly relatives) without worrying about having to recharge. He said the MG4 trophy long-range wouldn’t do this but the new Extended Range version would. The premium price was...

Gotcha. Nothing useful then Here’s a photo when I first charged it to 100% in Sept (warm) and another today (freezing). Big difference!

Why does zeroing the trip recorder affect the predicted range?
