I agree that if the system worked as it should it would be a great feature that certainly could prevent an accident especially involving a driver that might fall asleep momentarily. The problem is that the LKA 'feature' on the MG4 like many others I have read about such as BYD and Tesla is far...

Yep, that graph you posted points to a steady decline in road deaths over the last 20 years but that can be hardly attributed to LKA assist features etc. as they haven't been around that long and in some cases are more likely to cause an accident rather than prevent it based on some comments...

Yeah, I bought a cheap Alfawise dashcam around 5 years ago and it's just plugged into the 12V port and I unplug it when parked as the port is always 'live' and it would eventually drain the 12V car battery if left plugged in whilst parked or garaged. The dashcam has it's own battery for parking...

The MG4 is a great EV but this is probably the main reason putting people off buying it and others with a similar 'issue'. Ridiculous having to go through all this bulldust every time you wish to start a trip. I know it doesn't only apply to the MG4. I remember a time many years ago when you...

Yep...I was really keen on these but that is one of the reasons I am going to pass on a purchase. My wife and I just want a car that you can just get in and drive without worrying about turning dodgy 'features' off. That and the fact that they are awkward for me to access and exit due to my...

Yep...apparently that is what has been happening with updates for the earlier model MG4's. The problem is that I believe it comes on by default upon restart in the later models and the dealer may say that it is a mandatory update for your model for safety reasons. Obviously it is a pain in the...

It's just a bit of grammar correction Les and probably not really necessary. 'You are quite right there Ian' would be the correct way to make the comment instead of 'your quite right' but no one really cares as it is no big deal as we know what you meant. ;)

That is what I feared...thanks.

But by turning off MG Pilot does the LKA still come on by default at each restart?

Thanks for advice but I do this anyway even for my SUV when not parked too close to other vehicles as you need the door well open. In those tighter cases I just slide across as my seat is hip height. This is difficult for me with the MG4 or any small hatch in that situation as I have back...

My wife is also approaching her 70th birthday in December. Wish I was 70 again...:cry:

Oh yes...I agree and that is why I bought an SUV a few years ago mainly to make access much easier in my err....maturing years. I probably would have these issues with many small or medium cars these days. I was just keen on an EV and was leaning towards a hatch rather than an SUV EV for...

I have been following this forum with interest since the MG4 arrived in the UK and have gained a lot of info re the positives and negatives of the vehicle and got the chance to see one in the flesh at my local dealership a few weeks ago. I was really keen on the Excite 51 due to the pricing...

Or made it worse according to some reports here from owners who initially had no real issue with it. :(

I understand that but it is still ridiculous that it cannot be permanently disabled if it puts lives at risk. My 2017 model ICE SUV has LKA which works fine and is certainly not dangerous but it can be permanently disabled along with other 'features' so it is a step backwards in my view with...
