I actually don’t really know. It’s like an art installation with three platforms you can go to. The whole thing is very high (it’s located on a hill), so you first need to climb about 400 steps to get on top of the hill (not kidding) and then another couple of stairs to get to the view points...

Something a little different..

Disconnect it from the internet. But if we consider that MG can’t even do over the air updates it very unlikely to happen 😂

It actually would affect all MG models because they all run almost the same software. So no more MG in Europe I guess 😉

The EU has tariffs on Chinese EVs. In the case of MG, it’s 37.5% (as far as I know). The price for an MG4 Luxury is currently €39,990 (in white). Last year, it was actually €43,000. Considering that you can get a new Model 3 for less, most people are just going for that option.

Yes, it is. It's actually my fault in the translation. The 21 euros is for the work of replacing the filter, and the 88 euros is for the material (the filter itself). Absolutely crazy, considering you can find replacement filters online for 20–30 bucks. Pretty safe to say I will very likely not...

I can confirm that. In Germany, I paid 520 Euros (~450 Pounds) for the second service of my MG4. Here is the breakdown: Inspection (Just where the technician takes the checklist and performs a test drive): 192.48 Euros ~ 166 Pounds Replace Breakfluid: 106.94 Euros ~ 92.50 Pounds 0.8l of...

The idea would be that the car will never enter this deep sleep mode again so therefore it will be always available. Haven't thought about that.. I would say it's actually not that big of an issue. Of course, it will depend on the size of your 12 V battery, but if we assume the battery has...

I think it’s a common issue for most MG4 owners that the car enters some kind of deep sleep mode where you can’t pull information from it anymore and therefore can’t, for example, preheat the car. My solution (when this happened to me at home) so far has been to go to my kitchen window with the...

Just got my car back from MG and they seem to have fixed it. As of right now it also seems that the warranty is covering it.

Germany is terribly overregulated in every imaginable way. Often, local rules from the city collide with laws from the state, which in turn conflict with federal laws. It’s a nightmare!

It just happened to me about 45 minutes ago. I parked the car in daylight and, when returning, I unlocked it and immediately noticed that something was wrong. I locked the car and unlocked it again, and at least the daytime running lights and normal lights came back on, but I was not able to...

Warranty will be voided for sure (at least for the infotainment software). But since you only have 3 years on the computer you could that after those 3 years.

Wow, how have you done that?

Honestly, I don’t need new apps and stuff like that. All I want is my one Pedal Drive to be enabled by default and my LKA to be disabled by default 😂

I think it's the XPower

In theory, you can calculate the exact amount of energy that is used for a single API pull, as you have data for both current and voltage. So you can get an idea of how good or bad a single pull is for the amount of energy stored in your 12v battery. I asked ChatGPT how that could be done...

Just discovered this thread and must say it's quite interesting. Has anyone tried connecting directly to the system yet? I don’t mean accessing it via the two USB ports in the center console, but rather by removing the glovebox and all the plastic panels in the passenger footwell to take a look...

Due to the car having a keyless go system, I believe there is always some kind of base-level voltage on the system (because the computer must be turned on to recognize your presence). However, I think the MG actually has two separate systems: one running the infotainment (Android on the center...

You are only allowed to use the software as you wish if you fulfill the conditions of the license. If you don’t, you are legally not allowed to use or change it. In this case MG seems to have violated the terms and conditions of that license.

I know, just hope that the day will come when aftermarket OBD coders can fix it. Since MG is currently getting sued in Germany for their software in the MG4, I think there might be a chance the court forces them to publish more details about their software so OBD coder companies can start...

I personally don’t need a new software update every 2 weeks (like you get with Tesla). Sure, it’s cool, but for the price I paid for my car I’d be happy enough if they just left the software as it is (in terms of new features) and focused on bug fixing. I actually don’t have many issues — it’s...

Seems that MG is currently getting sued in Germany over their software due to copyright and open-source license violations. The case was brought forward by a buyer who claims that the vehicle’s software contains open-source components, but the required obligations (like license texts, copyright...

Maybe this is a regional thing, but mine absolutely sucks. In a 30 zone, it recognizes 120, and so on — it’s pretty much always wrong. Thank God I don’t have the new version with this EU nonsense, where the car will beep at you for going 1 km/h above the recognized speed limit (which is usually...

As I’ll be upgrading my wheels at the end of September, I no longer need the factory set. These are the 18-inch OEM alloy wheels with black aero covers from a 2023 MG4 Luxury Facelift. Details: Mileage: approx. 10,000 km Condition: overall good – one wheel (rear right) has light curb damage...

My car is from September 2023 and I have the issue since I took delivery in April this year. So I don’t think that it is the battery in my case. Sensors are like 20€ a piece in Germany but I was told that they will try to change it under warranty. Will post an update below when the car was in...

Actually, I have the same error in my car (in my case, I get a warning that the entire system has failed). I’ve got a service appointment scheduled for next week — they will replace the sensor. What’s weird is that in my case, the error only appears after driving at autobahn speeds (around...

Thanks, but this only addresses the struts from the factory - In my case I have completely new ones for the electric tailgate. Looks like this:

Is there a way to adjust the preload of the springs? I bought my MG4 used, and the previous owner had installed an electric tailgate kit. Overall, it works, but 9 times out of 10 when opening, the tailgate isn’t pushed out far enough. After a few seconds, the car pulls the gate back in, as if it...

Mine looks like this - You can go pretty crazy with the card. The developer has a discord where others post their implementations.

You can just set the interval in which HA pulls data from the car - maybe you can even build a manual button or a routine that only pulls when you need it to. I haven't noticed a significant difference in range or otherwise (using the integration now for about 5 months)

https://ultravehiclecard.com/ I found this to be quite a nice way to display the car and everything, as it seems to support CSS you might be even able to implement your map

You need to set up a second account for the HA integration and give it the same permissions as your main account on your phone. If you only have one account and use it for both (HA and your phone), you may experience odd behavior, such as data not being retrieved consistently.
