    MG S5 Apple Carplay/UI freezing

    Android Auto for me wired, is working without issue with the DATA disabled, I have disabled wireless AA due to other issues. It was driving me crazy, wired is a way better experience, cable out from under armrest, lay phone face down, so doesn't use wireless charge pad. The three girls all use...

    MG S5 Apple Carplay/UI freezing

    I'm aware, however how much does anyone really use the app? I only use when charging to make it is actually doing just that, i have also preheated the car maybe twice...Hopefully this will get addressed, however its way, way better experience without it running as everything is just working...

    MG S5 Apple Carplay/UI freezing

    I posted earlier that I had disabled DATA, totally forgot to mention, it's like having a different car, zero lag on the infotainment (there was always a little) everything is super snappy. Might leave it permanently disabled.

    MG S5 Apple Carplay/UI freezing

    I have now disabled on-line services in the menu, has totally resolved the pinging the servers, everything working as it should, without the app and maps though. Hopefully this will be resolved soon and can reactivate.

    Well, i'm putting it down to that, i have had phantom breaking before but usually on a right hand bend while overtaking another vehicle. My situation was a completely empty (Zero ) cars and on a 3 mile poker straight section of motorway, i drive that route daily and never had an issue....EVER...

    MG S5 Apple Carplay/UI freezing

    Well, the issue is still here today. I had to do a trip to Edinburgh yesterday evening, car freaking out on the motorway and at one point doing full on emergency breaking bring us from 63mph to a virtual standstill on the motorway, usually hitting the accelerator fixes this but not on this...

    I have the same issue today, why is a car reliant on servers to make it function correctly...utterly ridiculous. I'm seriously done with this car.

    Hv charger cable mm

    I personally make sure there are no coils loops etc, while doing a type 2 charge even at public charging sites. This is from years of running heavy mains in my job in the AV industry. Its good practise, minimises any risk of heat build up etc. I have seen some people leaving them coiled and...

    Wired CarPlay Temporary/Intermittent glitch

    Yes it is, i personally disabled wireless AA and only use wired...and works as expected, although there is very occasionally a disconnection which is then sorted by re-plugging and then its fine for the remainder of the time.

    Sideload apps onto my infotainment system?

    Starlink will have a dedicated router which you can connect to, just like at home, your car and phone would both connect via wifi to that for internet. You can't stream the car in to Starlink as there is nothing to stream from. Its the other way around...Starlink is in effect your hotspot...
