    Wireless phone charger

    I recently upgraded to wireless AA via the Motorola MA1. My phone charges very well on the wireless pad, in a thick case, with an extra non-slip mat on top of the normal tray. My phone always gains charge over a journey even using maps and music. It's a Pixel 7 for reference.

    ...like teardrops...in the rain 😥

    I've not used a public charger in heavy rain as yet but I charge on our work 3-phase when it's chucking it down with no issues. The design of the sockets and plugs was carried out with the natural elements in mind, so providing your MG4 isn't sitting in 4 feet of standing water then I think...

    Automatic light much better after update.

    I replaced my original cover after the updates, the lights were turning on a little later than comfortable with the 3D printed version.

    Drive Modes

    Not barmy at all, just very logical. The drive modes only make a difference in getting to the speed.

    Drive Modes

    Interesting you should say that, I've not experienced the rear tyres feeling loose when coming off the throttle, but the back end has waved a few times on acceleration on slightly greasy road junctions this time of year on the stock tyres.

    Drive Modes

    Honestly I can't say that the drive modes make a huge difference for me, ECO dulls the throttle response and limits the maximum power, I've not used SPORT so far so cannot comment on that. So 99% of the time I just drive in NORMAL with regen level 3. That's happens to be the default setting so...

    New member, MG4 Trophy advice

    Picked up my Trophy on 28th September 2022 and have loved it every day since. Not really had any major issues even though it was part of the first batch to hit the UK, other than a few software niggles which have been resolved. I love the fact I have 11kW AC charging as I use our 3-phase charger...

    Range decrease due to cold weather [merged thread]

    This is the absolute truth. My previous car, an Ioniq Hybrid, was advertised as a 600 mile car. The very best I got from it in the summer was 65mpg (so about 585 miles) but more often around 60-62 mpg. That dropped to around 50mpg in the winter but because the tank was 9 gallons I could still...

    My smart app not working just when need it

    I don't want to jinx anything but personally I've found the latest version of iSmart very reliable and I've been able to send the preheat instruction to the car without any problems. When you open the app first you need to let it try to scan as it does, even if this fails I can still use the...

    Range decrease due to cold weather [merged thread]

    I've found that I get around 2.5mi/kWh during the winter but could be as low as 2mi/kWh for short journeys or heater on high, that equates to between 125 and 155 miles for a full charge, so about 90 to 110 miles usable for the 10% to 80% range. In the summer my highest figures have been 4.8mi/kWh.

    Consumption Graph Not Working

    This was definitely an issue with earlier version software on the Trophy but was fixed with later versions. Mine started working after the software updates at my first service.

    No options to remotely defrost?

    I think there's another thread that says on Chinese cars the set temperature is the airflow temp and not the desired cabin temp, anyway 28+ degrees works very well.

    No options to remotely defrost?

    I set the temp up to 28+ degrees and that completely clears even the hardest frost/ice in the 10 minutes.

    No options to remotely defrost?

    Not sure that will work as the "Auto" function resets when you turn the car on again. Might be worth a try though.

    MG iSmart 2.0 [merged]

    Air conditioning and seat heating is now separate, haven't tried yet to see if the seats are in the right position. Mine was in km first but just reselected imperial measurements in the settings to update.
