Well at first I was able to lock and unlock the car until it eventually wouldn't even do that and reported that I should try again later (which I did for a number of days). Strangely it also defaulted to metric rather than imperial measurement without any input from me. I have to admit I was...

Sorry everyone and, for the eagle eyed members around, the key fob battery is in fact the CR2032, I missed the first 2 from my post so please don't go looking for the incorrect battery number I quoted, It is the CR2032. Hope I didn't cause too much confusion

As it happens disconnecting the 12V battery in this case would have made no difference as it was the key fob battery to blame. That said, I think you are wise to carry the spanner as it is your only option to do a hardware reset if all else fails for other faults. But do get hold of a new CR2032...

Yes, you are correct, I could get into the car but not drive it. I did get a message that indicated that the key could not be detected and to move it to the bottom of the console bin when I tried to move off, but I did that and it still didn't work. So all this technology and the car is rendered...

I tried everything honestly and nothing worked. But here is an update on the issue. This very morning 29/04/2025), after charging the car to 100% the ismart app suddenly started again! Coincidence or not I really don't know, but I can say that even the settings were back to my original format...

This really happened and I have proof that all I say is true: So, I drive an MG 4 Trophy Long Range bought new in 2023. While staying for a few days in Harrogate, in particular to attend the flower show, the following happened to me and my wife. After the show had completed I decided to...

Thanks for the reply guys, tried all the usual tricks like locking/unlocking etc. but all have failed and the problem still persists, been going on for days. Suspect I may have to unbind and then rebind my phone. But loath to do this. Has anyone tried this before and have any tips, instructions...

HI, Is anyone using apple phones having problems with connecting to iSmart today? I keep getting 'The service is not available, please try again later' message. Been doing this since last night so I can't change the charge percentage to 100% and I am due to leave on holiday! So, couldn't use my...

OK, this is how I managed to find it 1. ensure you have started the car and the screen displays are up and working 2. using the larger 'entertainment screen' swipe left on that screen 3. find 'settings' and press that icon 4. a settings screen will then be displayed 5. you will be presented...

oops missed the version number. The new software just installed is R59 and so far so good.

Just had the latest version installed today and they say this should cure the problem. Too early for me to tell as yet but I am keeping my fingers crossed

Yes, I have this happen quite frequently. I have noticed that having turned LKA OFF on startup, if I then drive under a road bridge the car thinks it is night time and goes into night time mode. This then activates the LKA to come back on without driver interaction and gives no warning. After...

NO

I too saw the app work this morning and could see everything I needed, However (and there is always a however), the app now seems to take lot longer and, I get the 'Service is not available. try again later' message. So, on the positive side some progress, but unfortunately not enough to be in...

I have the same problem too. I use iSMART on an apple phone and just completed an update to the apple Operating software and was at first concerned that Apple may have caused the problem. But upon reading this thread and having tried the iSmart app numerous times with the same message "Failed to...
