At regen level 1, the car shows -4% when lifting off the accelerator. As this is the closest to engine braking in an ICE, I assume no brake lights illuminated.Doesn’t answer your question as to what level the lights come on though. Sorry

Carlinkit Official Website Have a look around the FAQs on this website. Hope that helps.

Quite a few of those commands do not work. Poor of MG not to publish a current working list or to have all the commands available listed via the screen in the car. A working, reliable voice command system would offset the awkwardness of a touchscreen.

Much prefer to use the voice control rather than the touch screen. However, I’ve found it a bit limited. Anyone else have the below issues on R40? Does R46 or anything more recent fix them? Climate Can turn climate on and off and set a temperature, plus increase and decrease the fan speed (by...

The 5.0 is working for me save for the screen issue above. Phone calls are crystal clear. Not had a dropped connection yet. Fingers crossed. However I use it for my 25 minute commute to save plugging my phone in and out and have not used it for a longer journey. I will plug the phone in for...

Thanks but I’ve already tried toggling those two in all combinations. I’ve probably spent several hours trying all sorts of different setting combinations before posting on here. I was hoping someone had the exact issue I am describing and had a definite fix. Beginning to think it is just a...

Still having a blank screen issue as detailed here: Carlinkit issue CarPlay works once the screen is on by pressing a steering wheel button, the phone button or voice activation. However, pressing the CarPlay icon from the car’s main display brings up a blank screen. If I’ve been using CarPlay...

Carlinkit minor issue. Help please! Managed to finally get a Carlinkit 5.0 to work after updating my iPhone to iOS 17. However, CarPlay initially shows a blank screen on the in-car display. Swiping the car’s screen edge, or activating Siri using the steering wheel button, brings up the...

Thanks for the offer but I’ll probably return via Amazon and purchase again from there so I can return it easily if that doesn’t work either. Or get a 4.0 version. Still hopeful someone might have an idea why the 3.0 doesn’t work given all the troubleshooting I’ve already done.

Not in Australia but could still do with some help with Carlinkit. Have purchased a 3.0 mini version. Worked fine for a few days but now constantly connects and disconnects immediately with CarPlay briefly showing active on my phone but not on the car’s display. The display instead reverts to...

Ordered late October via Tusker. Status changed to ‘released from factory’ mid November. Estimated delivery in late January which surprised me a bit as others were being delivered quite quickly. This has slipped to currently late March. My own car has now required a service, MOT, tax, insurance...

I think it makes sense, MGFour. I’ve never had an EV before. I assume the OHME provides charge in the requested ‘preheat period’ at standard tariff then unless it luckily coincides with nationally low demand and the smart tariff applies? And the charger then adds even more range than you...

I’m interested in this. Have another thread running in which I’m considering getting a MG4 but am (unduly) fixated on the pre-heating of the cabin. As I see it, one quite big advantage over my ICE car. I’ve been told I may get an OHME charger with the lease deal and I’m currently with OVO for...

Both. A functioning latter will help with former. I’m not looking to get the car due to noble intentions. I have a perfectly good ICE car. The fact is the sacrifice scheme seems relatively good value and the performance of the car intoxicating. Little things, such as an EV’s ability to preheat...

Thanks JonnyG. I still need to convince my wife and will have some explaining to do if the car doesn’t heat as promised. So I assume that the car heats ok when plugged if the home charger gives power on demand but may not if the charger baulks the process? Say due to scheduling? And when not...
