you might find thats google issues not MG in this case. there is an ongoing issue with android auto and the press to talk button mine resolved itself by magic yesterday so hopefully yours will just burst into life

one thing that i would like is a "prep car for 7am" so if i have the car plugged into AC charging at home it can warmup/defrost all on the AC so i can leave nice and warm with 100%. That would be nice,..

Just turn off data (swipe down from the top, click data) worked as a workaround for me. Took a minute or two to return to normal after turning it off but it's been solid since. Absolute carnage fallout from this im sure.

Thats as expected as I explained about how carplay uses wifi. I'm afraid that's just how it is as phones don't have the ability to have multiliple wifi connections at once.

what you might be able to do is just have bluetooth to the car - but NOT android auto/carplay. That way you should be able to make calls (but not have phone maps etc in the car) and have wifi connected to the starlink what i dont know/havent tried is if the MGs5 allows you to just have...

fairly sure its the same between iphone and android.... on android although the initial connection to the car is over bluetooth to make android auto work it is actually setting up a direct wifi connection between the phone and the car. this wifi connection allows the bandwidth to run the...
