I just posted about a recent successful wireless carplay experience https://www.mgevs.com/threads/apple-carplay-dongle-for-mg4.10357/post-356744

Hi, Just posting this for people who are in the same situation as I was. Since owning my car, my biggest issue has been the poor connectivity of carplay and lack of wireless option. Today I received my wireless apple carplay dongle from AliExpress. It cost £6 and arrived within a week or so. I...

Hi, my original 2022 Trophy MG4 does allow true keyless entry and driving. For unlocking, I get within Bluetooth range (Bluetooth logo goes from greyed out to blue in the homescreen of the app). I get in the car, it pings like crazy saying ‘key not detected’ (or something like that). Then after...

I can empathise with everyone here. My MG4 needed the large main boot light cluster replacing. It was nearly two months before the part arrived. Is there no MG manufacturing in the UK at all? Or at least a warehouse locally?

At least some of them were brand new genuine Apple iPhone cables (bundled with the phone). Are those high speed? I know they don't have the blue plastic insert.

I'm another MG4 Trophy owner with the same CarPlay issues. Works about 10% of the time and even then, will drop out after a while anyway. Lots of different cables, adapters, cleaning and wiggling (the connectors!) tried but nothing helps. Also tried my son's iphone, daughter's iphone, wife's...

My app updated just fine on iPhone. Really happy with the new interface. The UI is so much cleaner and more intuitive. Good luck to those struggling with installation etc; you’ll get there!

I just stumbled across a feature that I didn't know existed, which is kind of related to this post. So, my issue was with DAB station labelling. The large title for every station simply shows "BBC Nati..." (See photo), which means at a glance they all look the same. You have to read the tiny...

So, I bought this exact item and it didn't solve my connection problem! :( Just out of interest, have you tried your USB-C port to connect your phone? Mine charges my phone, but doesn't work for Auto or CarPlay at all.

Can you link to the product you bought? I'm getting regular dropped connections when using Apple carplay where the touchscreen button greys-out.

A bit of a generic post here, but it is related to software and updating in a way. So, getting into the car today as usual, I pressed the arrow button on the touchscreen to get onto the navigation app and a window popped up saying 'downloading new traffic data' (or something like that) with a...

Right. My USB C port doesn’t even charge anything! Ah well. Maybe I’ll read the owners manual and learn what it’s for in there!

I know, I know. As a former system translator for VW group, I just know how easy it would be to supply and then apply decent English translations for each screen. I’d happily provide it for free in this case (but I don’t speak Chinese, which might prove awkward!) Anyway…. My favourite...

Congratulations on your MG4 - I have one too and love it! It’s interesting to hear about the USB cable situation. Are you saying that the type C is not for connecting devices? I ask because my type C port is totally unresponsive to anything I plug into it. Thanks!

The poor translation really frustrates me too! I know it’s superficial, but it makes the car feel cheap.
