For me, car is set to unlock all doors

Happened with me too. Starting with car on drive: unlocked car with fob, opened boot with tailgate release button on boot - dog jumped in (as intended). Arrived at woods, I exited car - but boot would not open, tailgate button unresponsive. Locked/Unlocked car with fob but no difference. Had...

The USB-C port supports media playback (files on a USB stick played on the infotainment system)

I successfully played media from a USB thumb drive in the USB-C socket

Would this sort of warning ⚠️ be considered a dashboard warning light and result in an MOT failure in future? Or is MOT dash light failures restricted to specific systems like ABS?

Spotted an brand new Orange trophy on a transporter heading into Aberdeen this morning. The first MG4 I've seen in the wild except my own, but I guess it doesn't count as not being driven!

Yes, I am surprised MG aren't more vocal about this feature of the LR models. The manual makes reference to 3-phase charging, but the marketing blurb doesn't. I guess they focus on the DC rapid charging speed instead which is understandable and is what makes headlines...

I can play media files from via the USB-C port, but it won't charge my Pixel 5

Android Auto is built-in to Android, not a separate download (it is an app, but a system app). It should just work if you plug in to the left-hand USB-A socket (the older rectangular type)

DAB radio freeze happened on my Trophy running R29 too in first couple of weeks

I've noticed this too on Trophy / iSmart app

Someone posted that MG has asked dealerships to report undertray issues so they can get a feel of how widespread the issue is, before deciding on a course of action. Can't find the post to link to at the moment

That's a positive response from MG, at least for the short/medium term. It was me who presumed my Live Services data had run out for the month. I'd been using Amazon Music a fair bit, so thought it was possible. I started a supermarket trip from home, then after a short while tried accessing...

If you're getting an SE LR or Trophy, there's a chance you may have a 3-phase AC onboard charger that supports 11kV AC charging. To utilise this you would need a 3-phase type 2 cable. Was handy for the Tesco PodPoint 22/11kW chargers as they were free and gave a solid 10kW; but becoming paid-for...
