Sad really. The ICE engineers spend thousands of hours to try to make cars quieter then young lads buy 'big box' exhausts and undo all that good work. Personally, I get enough of a 'buzz' flooring the throttle to overtake something.

Perhaps but if there's no resolution other people don't know.

It appears to only work while the car is unlocked. Even then iSmart does't seem to connect to it via wifi so I'm not sure what the benefit is

USB C is for input to the car not output

I use openHAB so it would be great if only iSmart worked in my village...

And there we have the problem. iSmart won't work in my village because O2 is the only provider giving a service. I don't need to use iSmart when I'm not at home so it's useless. The other day I accidentally triggered the alarm. 2 days later I get an SMS saying there had been an 'abnormal entry...

If you (or anyone else) want to port for an MG4 I'm happy to test.

Or, in my case, where there isn't mobile reception. I don't know what provider MG use but only O2 has a signal in my village.

Well it happened. I was doing about 25mph. It might have been anti-collision rather than LKA but the steering wheel started to steer me back towards the first parked car then the car did an emergency stop. LKA almost spun the car on an icy road - it's the viciousness of it. My girlfriend now...

Mine changed behaviour after its first service (and a software update). Prior to that I could turn it off and it would stay (but the distance setting had to be changed from 3 to 2 everytime to stop it braking when overtaking on motorways). Now the distance setting stays but I have to turn off...

The amount of air coming out when you disconnect won't affect the pressure - it takes quite a while to reduce the pressure by 0.1bar. Driving with too high a pressure causes tyre wear in the centre of the tread which is precisely where most of the traction comes from (or grip when trying to...

Be careful what you wish for. My software was updated and now I have to turn off the the Emergency Lane Keeping every time I use the Parking Brake because it keeps on trying to steer me off the road in country lanes.

There was another thread which explained the issue. If you repeatedly query the car it will eventually flatten the 12V battery. It's only a small battery because it doesn't need to start the car. If you're leaving the car for a long period of time then leave it in peace. You can set the app to...

Until the software upgrade I could do that. It now remembers the 2nd position in the vehicle distance one (used to cause braking when starting to overtake on 3rd position) but doesn't remember the ELK setting. I would be happy to keep it on if it was better implemented but constantly fighting...

The problem is my cable is overhead from a pole. They can't run a new OH cable.
