I experienced this ACC dropout several times over the past weekend - on the motorway it would be active for quite a while then just turn off with no notice, I mean it could at least bong and flash something at me. I don't recall anything out of the ordinary when it dropped out, just in a lane...

oh how does anybody decide which tyres to get :ROFLMAO: My original Continentals are approaching 24k miles and down to about 3mm at the back, 2mm at the front so maybe good to start looking ready for the winter, not had all seasons before though. Conti All Season Contact 2 coming out at £527...

interesting thread! Whats peoples thoughts about not having a spare tyre when touring in Europe? I'm thinking about driving down to spain next year and an earlier comment about the lack of a spare rung a concerning bell in my mind :D I assume MG Assist with the AA only covers the UK (or country...

Yeah that's what I meant. Yesterday we had a phone that was going to take hours to charge from a power bank, I rotated the USB-C 180 degrees and it was now fast charging in an hour, so always worth a try.

have you tried another cable or even the same cable inserted the other way around (if its USBC)? I had a cable that would often disconnect after 10 minutes, or sometimes not respond to screen touches, but a different cable fixed all those problems. The only issue I get now is if the fluff has...

I had my FICM (infotainment control module) replaced a few months back and this seems to have coincided with my 360 camera being a bit rubbish since - does anyone know if the calibration is stored in there and the dealer didn't bother to calibrate the camera?? It certainly used to be better...

what I don't get about this security issue is the star button A/C mini menu is allowed to draw over AA - not sure how that is different to the pull down menu?? Maybe its AA stops the swipe gesture being recognised by the MG software?

I had a play with the new version yesterday and LKA was certainly less intrusive (although I've never found it bad enough to turn off every drive), almost not noticeable but it did bring the car back in lane as I drifted - I'm not sure if it will be enough to correct a more significant drift...

My saga continues, subsequent updates have failed to work so they are going to have to send the screen off to MG for reflashing/replacement - could be up to 2 weeks! Absolutely bizarre as they successfully updated it at service and all was working well, but they insist it is the wrong version o_O

I'm currently in a courtesy car MG4 from the dealer and BT connects every time and I never manually paired it with this car :ROFLMAO: :unsure: I can't remember if this was after I plugged in to Android Auto - I think some kind of automatic pairing happens then? I've only plugged AA in once...

Just back from the dealers in a loan MG4 because they couldn't get my car to update to the right version again! It updates, presumably via SIPS, but doesn't load on the expected version. They won't tell me what exactly it does load only the FICM version isn't right (although FICM MPU/MCU look...

and the option you want is always seems to be missing the first time through the sources - but next time through its there :ROFLMAO:

Are you using the SAIC_iSmart_API? I tried it a while ago and that also seems to read cached data from the server most of the time unless the car is started, but there is a full refresh which defaults to once a day. It would be interesting to know if it keeps the car communication alive for a...

So I had a call from the dealer that did my service saying they'd had word from MG now that I need to take it back in for a software update - they couldn't tell me exactly what would be updated, only FICM needs updating, but they updated that from R46 to R59 at the service and I'm pretty sure...

hopefully they'll fix it soon - you'd hope :ROFLMAO: they have systems that alert them to servers down, where's the resilience?? I could connect around 7pm last night, but not since 10pm.
