    Wireless android auto/car play for MG4 SE

    Yes, it works like your phone, just a Bluetooth adaptation, good idea really. Should be fitted as standard.

    Seven Year Warranty - really?

    Your contract is with the garage that sold you the car, if you are not happy the issue is fair wear and tear which most is not, except tyres and the like then that is why we have courts, the small claims courts are very cheap and easy with no costs to pay if you lose. :et the Judge tell you what...

    Battery Failure and Repair History

    Simple my friend, I don't know how you paid for it but it is simply not fit for purpose. Your contract is with the garage (I assume you signed it on collection) not MG. Apart from building the car they are nothing to do with you. The ball is in your court, Loan car of similar type or better...

    I hate my MG4!

    I am 100% with you my friend, I have most of these problems and some have been sorted and others not and others I just live with. I must just add that I suggest before changing to a new car you check the forums of the make in question as most have similar issues especially with the electronics...

    First case of Range Anxiety

    I never understand people who do this, the car was very low when you parked it up, surely having having the X-Power you are not hard up for a few kWh of electric are you? Just for the peace of mind. I assume you are on Octopus Go or similar so 10 kWh would cost 70p - good value to stop the wife...

    Put into N still moves

    Perfectly normal in all automatic cars. If you press the brake twice when pulled up or in traffic the park light will go green, this will stop the creeping, press accelerator to move forward again. You may need to turn this feature on in settings but my MG4 is on all the time. In neutral if the...

    MG4 Trophy LR MY2022 AC Charging Speed

    Hi, you paid for a car with a 7 year warranty, drop it in, collect a loan car, when it is fixed swop back and the dealership will tell you what was wrong. Update the forum so others are aware and wiser. Good luck Tom PS: I bet you it's the BMS board issue which controls charging speed and...

    Calibration needed after changing to lighter rims?

    The computer takes into account driving style and use of heating/AC/ lighting if driving at night. Using the car aggressive on sport mode with the AC on at high speed will reduce the distance. It is a guide and changes as your driving style changes. Try driving at 30-40 and speed up very slow...

    Led rear indicator and reverse lamps

    What is the big deal here? if you keep the car for three years then also keep the stock bulbs and if it fails put them back in, use the free retest to get the pass and then replace the lights again. Some people like to make a mountain out of a molehill they really do. An MOT test is for safety...

    MG4 Start Stop Button & Interior Security

    Why are there no interior alarm sensors? also when MG do a facelift put a start stop button on the MG4, its a stupid idea to have to lock the car to turn off the stereo and wipers etc or mess with setting one the system. Try explaining that or getting some feedback from the bright spark that...

    Security

    Hi, you have triggered the panic alarm - no big deal just leave it longer before checking it is locked or look at the folding door mirrors.

    My Ismart app sometimes does not connect to the gps

    Hi, it's not you, it's the MG server, they need to modify their software as it is very unreliable. Don't waste your time unbinding it's not your fault. For charging use your charger app if MG is down. I hope this helped, Tom

    MG4 Software updates

    Name the dealership and report to China, they cannot take your money and run mate. Ask for a full refund as they will not supply what you paid for. Updates are not optional but factory correction similar to a recall. Remember the ZS update October 2020 the battery was telling the car it was low...
