So from my perspective, iSmart 3.0.3 on Samsung S10+ (Android 12) has introduced the following changes: The front & rear lights now don’t illuminate when you check/refresh the status of the car The temperature displayed in the climate panel now seems it indicate the correct temperature (and not...

Every car I have owned -VW, Ford, Toyota, Citroën, Renault and MG have all had 'faults'. The problems these days are with software, not the mechanics of the car. The problem is today everyone expects perfection and accepts nothing less. My wife used to work at a major car dealership for many...

Hi @Totti1001, the integration was set to a 10min update - just for testing purposes, and every 10mins the headlights came on and lit up the street! So I have disabled it for now until I can find out if this action can be stopped - but I am not sure it can be.

Have you noticed on your implementation of HA if when it polls the car for the information, your car headlights come on for a few seconds? I have had to disable my implementation of the integration since my car has been illuminating the whole street each time it has been asked for data.

I am able to activate the heated seats and the climate control from the app, but I have not been able to precondition the batteries before I set off on a journey on a cold morning - to improve the range/efficiency of the car.

Our previous HS had one and we loved it, but its not an option on the UK range now.

We can only assume that the boffins at MG must have deduced that due to the amount of rain we have in the UK we never need to clean our screens, and no Sun either - hence no sunroof! It would be good to know if the lack of screen wash sensor is just another UK only omission from the MG range?

My MG GS had a washer fluid level sensor; it seems strange that with all the tech on this model that MG have not provided this simple feature.

Has anyone managed to get the battery preconditioning on the 2025 HS Phev to work via the i-Smart app? Every time I try to do this (when the app is connected to the car) I get a 'failed' message on the phone screen. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi @Totti1001, I am not angry with you as I totally respect your opinion as well :). As I said, I have spent many years investigating and fixing faults reported by users of many things, and I totally understand how annoying and frustrating it can be when things do not work as they should. I also...

I have been driving my new Phev for around 6 weeks now, and having watched many hours of 'expert' video reviews I must admit that I had great concerns about the 'bings and bongs' that were foremost in all the feedback; but in all honesty the only 'bong' I get is the speed limit warning - which...

Many thanks for this Totti1001, this fix worked for me! 😀

Has anyone with a 2025 Phev managed to update their maps? I have followed the guidance in this link but the install in the car fails with a 'No VN file' message on the screen. Any fixes out there?

So I took delivery of my Phev in November, travelled approx 1200 miles todate but only really being monitoring performance/efficiency since it finished 'running in'. Findings so far ....Things that kill the battery: -> short stop/start trips - a round trip of approx 2 miles to the local...

On my Phev there doesn’t seem to be a button for the Eq on the DAB Radio page. Anyone else have this? The only way I have been able to adjust the sound of the DAB is by tweaking the Eq whilst listening to BT music, and then switch back to the DAB to hear the effect of the change. Seems a bit...
