Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if the front USB ports on the pre-facelift MG5 stay live when you switch off and lock the car, or do they power down? I have an Android Auto wireless adapter and wondering if I can leave it plugged in or need to disconnect it every time I leave the car, as I don't want to flatten the 12v battery.

Thank you :)

Mine stays live and AA Wireless is left plugged in without any problems (so far !)

The Carlinkit v4 supposedly does android auto as well as CarPlay.

I’m not sure if it uses CarPlay to connect to the car though. (Not a problem for the MGs as they support both).

My v3 mini (CarPlay only) works most of the time occasionally it decides it doesn’t want to talk to the car.

I've have mine for over a year, it has the odd freeze now and again but a quick unplug/ plug sorts it out.

Is most likely the case that's freezing rather than the aa wireless.
I use mine everyday with waze for dodging traffic from work.

I have also used AA Wieless for an untroubled year in my MK1 Excel. Just one slight problem early on resolved by forcing AAW to use 2.4 ghz connection via their app.👴
