my radio wouldn't autotune initially . I had to go through all the DAB stations manually and store them as favourites . Then they were kept and the logos shown . Have you tried that?

The fact that it doesn't remember the regen settings Bad telephony (really bad!) Radio

So, another oddity. When I first took delivery of my car around three weeks ago I suffered from stuttery AA when wireless. I changed to a usb connection and everything was fine including the voice assistant . I have continued to have problems with my phone dropping out etc . Yesterday I forgot...

I love sport mode . From zero acceleration is insane but smoooooth!

Ahh! I'll have a look at that . Thanks !

So after three weeks of ownership here are my niggles : Radio constantly switching from DAB to FM ( I don't live in the back of beyond )and doesn't seem to retain the last source when you restart the car Awful telephony Front camera sometimes switches on automatically after being in reverse but...

MY early 4 flew through it's first MOT and had all four tyres changed at 54000. Sounds like I was lucky!

I'm just wondering if it's not a software issue and maybe just be down to the fact that the aerial is in the rear windsreen. Maybe fitting an after market fin aerial might help? (if possible to fit)

Is there any news relating to the absolutely shocking telephony aspect to this car? I seemingly have tried every which way to solve the issues to no avail including the fixes suggested on here . Namely : I can hear people , they can hear themselves back sometimes . there is a loud whooshing...

I have a Trophy and have not suffered any of these issues.

Yes the phone demanded a reset .

nope didn't work .In addition to the recognised problems my car seems to be ok when stationary. As soon as I move the problems start over again.

On the MG 4 there was an auto function ( which didn't always work TBH) Seems the only option here is light or dark . I've set AA maps and waze to auto but that doesn't help

Thanks for this , I'll give it a go on my way home from work tonight. I've also disabled the hot spot . Don't know if that'll help

Sorry , this thread has been Hijacked but I remember my Dad opening his Dolly up full throttle while we were on holiday in Scotland. Wow that thing flew along (probably not as fast as I thought but I was only 12!)

Saw another white one in Benfleet , Essex yesterday. First one I've seen in the wild since I picked mine up on the 29th Jan. I do like it in white . First white car in my family since my Dad's Dolomite Sprint .

So when I had a loan MG5, if the icon was lit the front camera came on automatically at slow speeds as did the side camera when the indicators were flashing . In my MGS5 the front camera only comes on automatically after I have reversed. There doesn't seem a way to replicate the behaviour of...

I've put movies on to a usb . I have to say I'm very impressed with the definition. And you get a full screen unlike my MG4 which changed after a software update

Mine is exactly the same ( I picked up last week) I always prefer to use regen 3 but haven't found a way to save the settings . I suspect a software update is required and will be reporting to my dealer along with the fact that my radio seems to jump from DAB to FM at a whim and the phone...

So if you're using whatsapp to make calls does it use wifi or mobile data?

I've had my MG5S for a few days now and the audio stuttering on wireless android is pretty bad . Waves and maps work fine . I've switched to a wired connection and that works fine.

How about the MG URB4N?
