I’ve set an automation on my iPhone so that when CarPlay connects, the phone switches low power mode on (and the reverse, when CarPlay disconnects switches low power mode off) This maximises the charging in the car.

Just out of curiosity, did you have to have your phone forget the car Bluetooth to get it to work reliably?

After some mixed experiences with CarLinkit 4.0, I bought this on AliExpress: https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ev79J3e Looks similar to the Lyssiefeel, but cheaper. Set up with 30 second delay. Don’t pair phone to MG4, ‘forget ‘ any previous Bluetooth with car. Cost me around £12 and so far works every...

Just curious - which dealership was that?

Mine’s been hardwired from the fuse box since early March. No problems with battery, and car has been left a few days unused on several occasions.

Sorry, but mine is a 4.0 so I wouldn’t know about the 5.0

No, I don’t.

So I don’t have to plug it in every time?

It was turning on the ‘background’ tab that fixed mine. You might try toggling this and/or the ‘sync mode’

Digging around a bit more and it seems that ‘knob mode’ only applies to Android Auto, not Apple CarPlay, so you’re not missing anything useful.

Yes, I thought I’d try driving like most of the rest of people on the roads!

OK, so after a few different attempts, and two different wireless adapters, I think I’ve got wireless CarPlay working as well as it can in my Trophy. The adapter I’m using is a CarLinkit 4.0, model CPC200-CP2A Connected to car using instructions provided - connect Bluetooth, connect to Wi-Fi...

Just fitted a Road Angel Halo Go, following the excellent advice and instructions on here. At the moment, Halfords have this camera, SD card, and full hardwire kit for £99.99, but there is a code for 10% discount (MOTORING10) The mini fuse piggy back connectors are perfect for direct plug in to...

Having come from a Tesla, where OPD was on by default, I can confirm that at high states of charge even that had to ‘coast’ as there was nowhere for any generated energy to be stored. Once the state of charge drops to a suitable level, OPD should be available again.
