Correct. I got R67 installed 11 days ago and didn't have to reconnect my phone since. Although sometimes when you start a car and press the phone button - you have to wait a moment before it finishes "syncing process".

https://evkx.net/models/mg/mg4/mg4_electric_long_range/chargingcurve/ This is an excellent source for charging curves and other valuable data for almost all EVs. MG4 64kwh for example charges best at 1-60% reaching that in some 19 minutes. I hope you find this helpful 👍

I think there's a bug when you push the slider all the way down to '0%'. Instead you keep it a touch to the right - 'at 1%' - that should do the trick.

Nice one, congrats buddy! Just be careful with your alloys - this car is wider than average and I find curbing them way too easy lol Also you have to put your wipers in service mode before you lift them, otherwise you'll scratch your bonnet like some of us did 😅

When a chap on YT tested mg4 he found out that the car will do another 15miles after 0% SOC before it's completely flat. That's what battery buffer is for - 61 kWh usable from 64 kWh battery 👍

Do you always charge to 100%? You then might loose regen due to battery being fully charged, maybe somehow these things are related?

Most of these cars are really low mileage. It really doesn't matter how the previous owner used to charge it if the car only did 5-20k miles. It matters a lot less than ICE cars with previous owners not changing oil or hammering the car with cold engine.

How's road noise and comfort compared to the OEM Bridgestones?

Got an overspeed threshold set to 150mph, the car never beeps even when flying 120mph+

You're 100% right my friend. Unless you bought this car with intent to keep it til 200-300k miles - it literally makes no difference.

Well done, my car has barely done 10500 miles and I'm not sure the tyres are going to last even 20k. I suppose that's the price you pay for a car with 430hp and 600Nm lol

Great stuff. Glad you got sorted after all your headaches. I'm surprised though that they haven't updated your car to R67 - as that's the latest version. I got mine installed last week, and although the software is still far from perfect - the aircon now works great and the phone no longer...

I just looked it up, you're right. I thought they all get installed in the bottom of front bumper. There you go, everyday is a school day 😅 Must be a bad software in that case.

I really enjoy the car, but when it comes to all 'self-driving tech' - it's just poor. Earlier this year we went to Croatia, and got 2024 Corolla as a rental for a week. That car had no power, manual petrol doing 0-60 in some 12 seconds... But the ACC and LKA were fantastic - it was so smooth...

Agree, I don't understand all the fuss about people praising OPD - saying that is so good and easy to use etc. To me anything other than Regen 1 feels artificial, more like using a forklift or dodgems rather than a car. Brakes on mg4 are blended anyway, so even in Regen 1 if you're smooth with...

Hi everyone, Today I got my software updates installed. The car was on R40 since we got it almost 4 months ago, but I got tired of constantly having to reconnect our phones - so I mentioned that to our dealer couple days ago. They updated both the infotainment to R67 and the HVAC system. The...

You can actually disable your camera for good, so it only comes on when reversing - rather than each time you use indicators - then you can change your modes without any issues.

Hello and welcome. It's all about expectations. You've mentioned that you're used to bulletproof and luxury Japanese cars - this is not. I like to compare the Xpower to Poco devices in smartphone world. If you're used to having £1k+ Samsung or iPhones and you expect such phone you will be...
