MG4 Trophy Sat Nav activation

We had a similar problem. I think the car needs a data connection either from enabling the SIM after pairing with the app or via WiFi. I connected to my home network and the navigation started working immediately
 
Hi, despide being in danger of double posting but if you run into the problem of the navigation system requiring "permission" and you cant find the three buttons below the "user permission" section, you need to connect the car to your phone (with data) as a hotspot or your wifi at home.

That solved the issue for us and three little buttons appeared below the user permission.

PS: I found this solution on a german MG4 forum, thx to @Mike26dd ;)

I've done 100 miles in my Trophy. But, stuff like the above is getting the better of me 🤣
This car has a software system that is obscure - getting the sat nav to work, setting the voice volume, turning on cruise control without having Lane Assist trying to drive me into a hedge rather than keeping within the white lines on the road and how come turning off LA doesn't turn off Lane Assist?
I feel the need to start a new thread "This car is dangerous" once I work out how to do it...

It doesn't help that the salesmen don't know how to set things up either.
 
Read the user manual inside out but was under the impression that all the various sub menus were not fully covered in the user manual in itself...maybe just an impression this forum gives with the go here and swipe this and tick this comments:unsure:
 
In the car there's a User manual and a Navi manual. In the app there's both of these plus a Service guide.
 
When I click on manual in the app it asks me to bind car...doesn't show anything just goes back to menu...am I doing something wrong given I don't have a bound vehicle yet? I assume because it doesn't know what model I have

I was lucky. Grant Brown of Arnold Clark, Rutherglen, Glasgow, was the salesperson who fixed the Sat Nav issue for me on 24 Nov 22. My gripe is definitely with MG Motors UK and/or SAIC in China. The car's software is obfuscated (is that a word?)

You do not have a car yet, waiting for delivery?
the app is pretty much useless until you bind a car to the app.

Out of context...I was looking for a download for ismart app instructions to understand in greater detail all the options. I was told it was in the app but it can't be until you are bound with a car for the app to understand what manuals are appropriate. That was the point I was making
