    Sound system upgrade

    As middle age sets in you’ll. find your high frequency hearing drops off; the cruel irony is that by the time you can afford decent speakers they’re a waste of money…!

    Worst car I've ever had

    I’ve done 20k miles in mine and it’s been a delight. I think you need to take it back to the dealer.

    AutoGlass; useless for MG4

    Had my rear window smashed and charge cable nicked yesterday; it happens. Go through to AutoGlass via the insurance only to be told they don’t hold any MG windows in stock and it would be at least five days. I live in a London terraced street with no off road parking and my wife uses the car...

    AC charging ramping up and down?

    I’ve been doing a lot of miles over the last few days (Christmas visits to relatives all over the country) so have been charging the car most nights and often a motorway services rapid charge during the day. This evening I got home (no off-road parking so we often use the AC slow chargers fitted...

    Apple CarPlay

    That little guy has worked flawlessly for me and my wife. Just remember to up the “connection delay” in it’s web interface to 25 seconds.

    A wireless carplay adaptor that actually seems to work reliably?!

    If we're travelling together and it connects to the wrong one we put that 'phone into airplane mode and after a few seconds it connects to the other 'phone and then we take the first 'phone out of airplane mode and it's all good.

    A wireless carplay adaptor that actually seems to work reliably?!

    I've been using a Carlinkit 5.0 for the best part of a year and it's been reasonable; once you set the "startup delay" to 25 or 30 seconds and make sure you've updated the firmware it works 90% of the time which for me was OK - my wife was less impressed with the occasional dropout and so I...

    5.9 Miles/kWh - anyone got past six?!

    Friend Barnet to Hanger Lane - maybe seven miles.

    5.9 Miles/kWh - anyone got past six?!

    No wind, on the flat. Averaging 40 MPH.

    5.9 Miles/kWh - anyone got past six?!

    With the warm weather I’m regularly getting past five miles/kWh, but on the North Circular this morning I had twenty minutes at 5.9miles/kWh.

    Artificial noise; is this a thing?

    I’ve been driving around London with my windows down since the weather improved (better than 5 miles/KWh - hurrah!) and not heard a thing?! Maybe my middle-aged hearing is worse than I thought…

    Artificial noise; is this a thing?

    Electric cars more likely to hit pedestrians than petrol vehicles, study finds “Since July 2019, all new hybrid and electric vehicles sold in Europe have been required to have an acoustic vehicle alerting system that emits sound when the car is travelling slowly…” Is this the case with the MG4?

    Tesla Superchargers

    Yep; used them a few times. I think the one I used in Newmarket (just before Christmas) was only 36p - early evening.

    MG4 USB ports?

    That's exactly what I do; but I discovered that of the dozen or so cheap trade-show-freebie USB sticks I had music on at least two of them caused the infotainment system to be very sluggish, completely stopped CarPlay from working. I did try re-formating them but the same effect. Life's too...

    Rear Interior lights

    I used Gorilla tape and it's been up for a month. I was initially worried it might make the head-lining sag, but doesn't seem to have.
