I'm on Next Drive Fixed v9. According to eon it is the only tariff available for my Podpoint Solo 3 charger. Paying 70p a day standing charge is a lot, a s I'm wondering if there are there better deals around. Octopus isn't compatible with my charger and they don't support my MG4. I'm paying...

My MG4 only powers a tyre inflator (I tried several) for 5 seconds, then it stops working, even with a freshly charged 12v battery. This rechargeable one works for me. https://amzn.eu/d/40KIZKt

Maybe I should mention that my 2022 Trophy is on its original software, its never been updated. Being serviced on 8th December (after a 2 month wait). I told them I want all available updates installed.

Had this problem with my 2022 MG4 Trophy last night. It kept saying charger plugged in, check connection. This morning it connected quickly first time. Only issue is it will cost 29.71p per kw instead of 6.7p (Eon Next). When I first got the car in July it did the same thing. Bugden MG...

Yep, your right 😁

I bought a new phone and the iSmart app I downloaded is nothing like the old one on my old phone. This new app connects fine. Problem solved.

Hi, I have a Premium Zapmap subscription, and lo and behold, the app displays on the infotainment screen. I create a route on the phone, save it, and the infotainment screen shows that saved route. However, when I click on that route on the infotainment screen I get the spinning arrow of doom...

Thanks. Would an update give me 1 pedal driving like in the 2023 model? It's only software stopping it being so.

My 2022 MG4 is great. Everything works more or less as it should. The driver assist is OK if you stop fighting it and accept it will try to kill you every now and then. I don't use the iSmart app or Android Auto, which are useless and awkward respectively. I'm tempted to put the car in for...

Things have not improved. The only time I can now connect with the car is when it is awake. When locked or locked and charging, the iSmart app says the car is asleep.

It worked - going via the sheild icon. Thanks for the tip 😀

That's 180,000 times more range than my car. Everything else on the car works, so I can live with this minor hiccup.

Thanks for the reply. Digital key doesn't work on my car. It has been on charge all night, so I have to unlock the car and wake up the screen to check the state of charge, then reconnect the charger as unlocking the car stops it.

Hi, what is the range of the iSmart app's ability to connect to the car? On my MG4 it is 30 feet. Further than that it won't connect. And for how long is the car able to connect after being locked? On my car it's 2 hours, then it goes to sleep. Are these results the norm for an MG4?
