Mg4 USB ports?

Tried that yesterday, I don't think the pad does lift off(magsafe), only had a quick go, couldn't get them through. I'll try again later.

BTW, found the magsafe pretty crap and intermittent on my iPhone 13 pro max
The rubberized pad does lift off but its attached with little clips underneath and you need to pull it up pretty hard.
 
Also I don’t get any movement or slippage round corners that I have seen others mention.
That was one of the things I checked on my test drive on Saturday - I put my phone on the mat (not wireless charging - it was an SE) to see how stable it was. My phone didn't move. (Moto G8 Plus with a gel case).
 
If anyone can test this and 100% confirm it would be useful. I personally prefer to play music - NOT - from phone
Hi,
I plugged in my 500Gb Samsung SSD to the USB C port on my MG4 with all my music on and it works great.

To note is that when I plugged my phone nothing happened, no power, no other connection, I thought it wasn't working but I tried my SSD drive and it's great.

The only bad thing is that I've got the SE version (only one left available). And your can't see album art when using Android auto for Google maps. You can still use the right stick to skip and pause though.

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Do you know if the rear USB port can also be used for music? Thanks.
 
hei!
Jeg koblet til min 500 Gb Samsung SSD til USB C-porten på MG4 med all musikken min på, og det fungerer utmerket.

Å merke seg er at når jeg koblet til telefonen min skjedde ingenting, ingen strøm, ingen annen tilkobling, jeg trodde det ikke fungerte, men jeg prøvde SSD-stasjonen min og den er flott.

Den eneste dårlige tingen er at jeg har SE-versjonen (kun én igjen tilgjengelig). Og du kan ikke se albumgrafikk når du bruker Android auto for Google maps. Du kan fortsatt bruke den høyre spaken til å hoppe over og sette på pause.

I've not tried it yet. I'm at centre parks for a few days and it's stuck in the car park. I'll have a go when I next get to it.

OK, just tried the rear USB port and it looks like power only.

When I plug my SSD into either the front 2 ports the light on the SSD flashes frantically as the car indexes the files on there. When I plug it into the rear one the light is solid, just indicating power.

Bonus fact, I was curious so copied over a Yes Prime Minister video top my SSD and the unit played it from both of the front 2 ports!

Did you have any luck getting the usb cable through the small slots? I can’t fathom how to do it.
 
Just pull up the rubber mat and there are big holes underneath. They're big enough for a USB A connector.

I used a flat blade screwdriver pushed from underneath to pop up the shelf cover. I then passed up the USB cable, fed it through the slot in the cover then pushed the cover back down to clip it back into place. (I then made a small coil of the cable and tied it in place, so that I simply need to place my phone on the shelf and the magnetic connector makes the connection). :)

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but does the left hand USB socket give power even when the car is locked, off and left overnight? I've just got a Carlinkit 5.0 and I'm wondering if it will keep drawing power overnight if I leave it plugged in. Thanks

No, no power when the car is off or locked
