    How do I use the mechanical key?

    Here is a quick update on this. It happened again yesterday. Definitely not cold related (~20c) Used the battery charger I got after the first time this happened. Powered up straight away. Gave it 10 mins and it seemed fine to drive away, which I did. 30mins drive to work. Left it and worked...

    A NOT SO short update on our British Gas Hive EV charger installation.

    New MG4 / Activate maps fails / no QR for iSMART binding

    Just so you know, I finally solved it :) - the app is bound to the car, and the satnav is working :). I switched dealers (the other one did not seem interested). It took two visits - one for them to look at the problem and one to contact HQ. Then HQ told them to get me to bring it back in, and...

    Wireless Carplay with Carlinkit

    I've had one for about four months now - I find it a bit flaky - connects ok about 80% of the time. Other times, I get a blank screen. Have to unplug and plug it back in, and that usually does the trick. I have got it to update itself a few times, but that hasn't helped much so far. The cable...

    No sat nav and voice control

    FWIW - I got my Trophy back in November and could not activate maps/head unit nor get a QR code to link the app to the car. I was in the garage yesterday and had a software update - I have noticed a few cosmetic tweaks so far (e.g. CarPlay music now shows what's playing), but still not able to...

    How do I use the mechanical key?

    Thanks, All - the breakdown guy confirmed it was charging when the car was plugged in. But also confirmed the 12v battery is no good. I used it on Monday/Tuesday - short (6 miles each way) commute, and it had 50% capacity. I did nothing with it yesterday. Took it to the garage today. They...

    How do I use the mechanical key?

    Thanks, Ian - so what charge it has now is probably from what the breakdown guy did. Still waiting to hear from the garage on what they can do.

    How do I use the mechanical key?

    Don't currently have one but RAC on they way so they hopefully can do Confirmed it's a bad battery. At least now it's charging and boosting the 12v battery somewhat. Just not confident it's worth driving in, if I stop anywhere is it likely to die again 😢 Now Trying to get through to the dealer...

    How do I use the mechanical key?

    Trying to open the car today and neither of the key fobs work. Seems like an issue with the car. Car had around 50% charge 2 days ago Totally failing to finding where I put the mechanical key to see if that might bring it to life. Not seeing it in the manual other than how to get it from the...

    Wireless Carplay with Carlinkit

    New MG4 / Activate maps fails / no QR for iSMART binding

    Popped into the dealer today. They tried a hard battery reset but still doesn't activate fully. They think it needs a software update
