I may have resolved this. The top left button on the steering wheel has a picture of a head and, possibly, voice coming from it. The manual says this is a "Speech Recognition Function Button" and pressing it toggles turning on and off the phone's connected voice recognition function. What...

Had my MG3 10 days now and it's great. I'm trying to get to grips with Carplay (which I've never had before, except on a couple of rental cars when I didn't try making phone calls with it) and my iPhone 11. It connects ok (with a cable) and I can make and receive phone calls. But whilst I can...

Yeah, that's what's on the NZ video. But I can't find it at all on my car. That screen has only the Next Service option. I wonder what would happen if you combine a setting on that with the % overspeed threshold setting in the Navigation section (assuming you have that available, which I do)...

OK I've had a decent drive with a variety of speed limits. It seems quite complicated with the 3 beeps sometimes still happening but mostly that occurs if I exceed 30, which I'm happy to accept. In other higher speed scenarios it seems to just give the voice+1 beep warning at roughly 10% over...

The option just doesn't appear at all on the driver's display. I only discovered it might exist through the video; in that it appears on the same screen as the Next Service option. On mine Next Service is the only option that shows on that screen. So the only place I can make any changes is in...

That’s weird if some cars have it and some don’t. But I agree it’s unlikely to be much use.

That's interesting but rather disappointing. I'll give mine a more substantial test soon. First time it certainly didn't beep at me at 72 mph. I'm not sure about the 30 mph margin but I'm happy with it being closer; in my view exceeding 30 is almost always a much more serious misdeed than 10%...

My drive has a kink in it and the 360 camera is wonderful for avoiding the low brick walls each side; I used to use the door mirrors in my old car but this is much more fun. So the wheel is usually not straight when I stop. I got the steering-wheel-not-straight warning the first time I parked...

I've just been out for a trial, having set the threshold in Navigation to 110%. Purely in the interests of research, I exceeded speed limits 3 times, by roughly 11% :oops:. It seems that the beep came at that point but I also got Kate Satnav telling me "You have exceeded the speed limit". Which...

I think the asterisk probably means these are options on the higher level of trim but it doesn't make that clear anywhere that I can see. And as there are only two trim levels SE & the higher level Trophy, you would imagine that, if this is the case, then all the items with an asterisk would be...

Thanks. I think I've found the problem. User error :rolleyes: I was pressing the joystick button downwards (away from me) at each edge rather than pushing it in the direction of the arrows. So I think the issue is resolved without recourse to further interaction with dealer or software...

MG3 Hybrid+ Trophy. New last Tuesday. The Owner’s Manual (pages 31 & 33) shows the Instrument Pack - Type A (HEV Models) as having the following menu structure for the Message Centre (item 4, top right side of the display): Health Centre: Tyre Pressure Monitoring, Low-voltage Battery, Warning...

OK that's all the images done.

My wife took her first tentative drive in an automatic this afternoon; she's been driving for a bit over 50 years. A little cautious obviously but within 5 miles she was sold on it. She's not really interested in the techy gizmos which is really surprising 😂 but it seems quite likely that she'll...

Right, all done & collected, driven home without upset. All very nice. Having worked out that I have to switch it off before locking it otherwise the horn toots at me. My wife has never driven an automatic so this is going to be interesting. (We share our car.) So a little drive up onto...
