Apologies if this is obvious, but are you making sure you’ve unlocked your phone before pressing the Apple CarPlay button on the screen? I thought my cable wasn’t working (standard white Apple or Belkin cable) until I realised you have to unlock the phone first.
Hi, do you have a reference for this? It potentially gives hope that the cars will improve over time by themselves. I’d got into the routine of turning off the collision avoidance and LKA settings at the start of each journey, but they no longer stay off. This also suggests that either a...
My wife and I now turn front collision assist off before every journey. It takes 5 seconds and has become part of our routine so it’s not a huge hassle. The stress of not knowing whether it would activate inappropriately was making the driving experience horrible. Now we are both enjoying...
I’m experiencing consistent AEB on the junction before my house, which is really annoying as well as being a potential crash hazard, i.e. risk of being rear-ended. I also have aggressive Lane Keep Assist, particularly on country roads. I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has had their...
I think I found the good dealer. After taking the paint off the bonnet with the wiper this morning, I contacted the dealership (Luscombes in Leeds) to say they might want to point out the service status setting to customers at handover. I made clear I wasn’t criticising them as their service was...
I so wish I’d read this before washing my brand new Tri coat red MG4 Trophy this morning as I’ve just made the error you describe and scraped the paint off the bonnet when I lifted my wipers. Really gutted. Why on earth would you design the wipers like this, but also, if you have, why would you...
I’ve no idea, but I suspect it was opportunistic. Apparently there’s been a significant increase in car thefts recently, presumably due to the long lead times for new cars creating a market for stolen ones.
It looks like the MG was stolen to sell on because it was parked up almost immediately and left. The police said they usually do that to see if they have a tracker fitted. The Mustang was thrashed - used 200 miles of battery range in 28 miles of driving and was ripped apart inside.
Hi all, just to update an close the thread, I spoke with Luscombes Leeds today and they think the battery must have drained which is why the app can’t connect. They tried rocking the car and the alarm wasn’t triggered. Makes sense given it’s been over 7 weeks since it was last driven. They’ve...
Yes, that’s right, although I was hoping the digital key might not require the phone that was bound to the car, but just one linked via the app. ATM it’s looking like they’ll have to break the window which will likely extend the timescale.
Hi Rolfe, yes, it’s been a pretty unpleasant time. I’d...
