This probably sounds obvious, but I thought I would mention it, as it had a significant effect for me. I was finding the same issue with the cruise control display when I had positioned the steering wheel to what I decided was my comfortable driving position. I subsequently decided to...

Those look like a great solution to the seat belt rubbing neck issue I too am experiencing. Yes please would you upload to Makerworld.

My experience of MG dealers (although limited to just 2 dealers) is that their technicians have very limited training. The first dealership I was working with (where I bought the vehicle) have stopped doing diagnostics at that branch, which led me to changing to a more local dealer. The more...

On the failed iSMART communication. I took the car to my local MG dealership for the warranty repair. It turns out that the blanked "Telecommunication version" was the key indicator. The T-Box had crashed and required a reset. I was told this is not a user action and the glovebox had to be...

The dealership have now told me that their branch no longer carry out diagnostic work (the diagnostic work has been centralised at their other branch). I should now either contact a local MG dealership or contact their alternative branch to ask for a warranty repair to investigate how to get the...

The “joystick” buttons are these 2 silver buttons on the steering wheel. They have 5 different actions each. Up, down, left, right and press in. Press both on them in and hold them until the infotainment system goes black, then release. (Takes about 10-15 seconds holding the buttons in).

That’s potentially good news for me that the telecommunications version repopulated on its own. Mine has not for the last 10 days and I cannot control the car remotely through iSMART or home assistant. Let’s hope mine repopulates by itself. The telecommunications version is still blank on my GT.

Here is a question regarding your experience in the iSMART app. Is anything updating? I.e. does your battery level and location update when you try to refresh, or do you get “vehicle not responded”? If so, could you check in the car on the right screen setting page, under “system” is the...

If it helps anyone else with accessing the inside of the trim to install a dash cam, I have found that the service and maintenance manual provides step by step instructions about how to remove internal trim (along with other instructions). The thread here Cyberster Mechanical Manual advises...

There is another thread in the forum called MG Cyberster Maintenance Manual, where someone posted the link and explanation about registering and paying for timed access. https://rmi.mgmotor.eu/#/user-client/index

I remain sceptical too. If it is something to do with remote access to the car, and the car cannot communicate without the firmware present, then nothing is going to resolve itself. The dealership gets one opportunity to fob me off with misinformation, then I don’t ever stand for it again. I...

An update: The dealerships service department have said that there are significant changes being made by MG regarding the telecoms of the cars. They tell me that other MG owners have also reported that the Telecommunication version has blanked and connection to the iSMART app has been lost...

I did try a full factory reset, this unbound the car. I then rebound it ( the binding was successful) but the problem of the car not responding in iSMART remained. The things I have tried (some of them multiple times) are: 1. Unbind from the app and rebind 2. Factory reset of the car in...

So this seems to be the indicator that there is a problem with the car connecting to iSMART. The telecommunication version is now blank, but it used to be populated. Does anyone know how to “wake” this back up? Is it related to a fuse perhaps? The car has not been responding to the iSMART...

Thank you for checking. So it must be something to do with this setup. My next thought is that the home assistant integration has interrogated the server too many times and it has been locked out for a while. I’ll wait and see how long it takes before it comes back online again.
