Still get the checksum error

Managed to download from https://iov-mapmg.soimt.com/#/downloadMap yesterday. Assume the server is intermittent. However I am getting a MD5 checksum error when attempting to update in the car. Whole process of downloading, unzipping and copying to a USB stick took over 5 hours for me so I’m...

I’m finding that when using google maps, after about 30 minutes, the head unit reverts to the main screen and I cannot get CarPlay back unless I unplug the adapter and re-insert though the audio navigation commands still work as if CarPlay is connected. This only happens when using the wireless...

Because of post #301. And wondered if the first link maps are more recent.

I cannot download maps from here: https://iov-mapmg.soimt.com/#/downloadMap Nothing happens when clicking next with my VIN entered and ignoring the fingerprint upload. Happens using Edge and Chrome browsers. But I get the option to download from here: https://www.mgmotor.eu/owners/user-manuals...

I'm currently on software R40 in a 24 plate, but which was probably built late 2023. I'd like the ACC improved as it is useless, as are the automatic headlights and traffic sign recognition. Other randomly occurring software niggles abound: bluetooth disconnections, carplay icon greying out even...

Not with an iPhone and CarPlay. Annoying. Very annoying. Amazon forum

Never had cornering lights on any of my previous cars and have not encountered the problem I describe in the OP with any other car going back to the 80s. There is a noticeable lack of spread of light to the n/s close to the car. All my lights are working too. Wondered if this happens on all...

I’m finding that when turning left out of T junctions on unlit roads, the road and pavement to my immediate left is not lit by the headlights. So I’m turning into blackness until the car passes through a considerable angle and the headlights light up the road ahead. Unnerving if a pedestrian...

Any recommendations for an iPhone app that would record acceleration times? Not interested in getting anything fancy that requires extra kit but just a simple app to use as a guide. My car subjectively feels slower than I think it should picking up from around 40 or 50 mph to overtake even in...

Used ismart today to try and cool the car prior to leaving for home. Heard the hvac running as I walked up to the car but it didn’t feel particularly cold when I got in and the 10 minutes was nearly up. I’d driven early this morning when it was chillier and to eke out some miles, had turned...

I’ve now tried the device from post #1 and have a Carlinkit 5.0. Posted elsewhere about the 5.0. The 5.0 often gives me a black screen that comes to life when I swipe it. I miss notifications when driving if I’m on the Home Screen due to the black screen appearing rather than the CarPlay...

To get this slightly back on track….. Can someone, hopefully one of the knowledgeable contributors above, please link to where battery packs type 1,2 & 3 are definitely defined and to where the 80% recommendation is referenced. I cannot find it in the manual (that comes as part of the iSMART...

Although I normally only charge to 80% due to the app showing this as battery health mode, I still can’t find where this is explicitly stated in the manual as recommended.

For the life of me, I cannot find in the manual which type of battery pack is which. It refers to type 1, 2 & 3 and I am assuming I have type 2. Tried searching the forum - failed at that too. How does the charge to 100% once a week compare with the 80% battery health mode if you are in fact...
