    MG4 Software Update Thread

    Any modification of mg software will certainly invalidate a warranty if you you're claiming for a fault you may of caused but installed Infotainment firmware versions aren't usually recorded on a database so an oem update is fine

    Is it the firmware CPU update or AVN MPU update option

    MG4 Software Update Thread

    Apart from accessing the engineering menu does anyone know what the procedure is, do you need to depress the brake pedal to put the car in ready mode or is just sitting in the car to wake it up enough before starting the installation?

    GivEnergy or Fox ESS

    Yeah I believe the import/export limits will be covered in the g99 application to the dno, anything below 3.76Kw can be installed without permission but obviously that advantage is cancelled out by the lower limits permitted.

    Thanks for your input, it's always better & more trustworthy getting personal reviews rather than trawling through potential paid reviews from sellers

    GivEnergy or Fox ESS

    Are you using the all in one and do you ever exceed it's maximum output. I'm a total newbie so have zero experience, does it just switch to the grid if you exceed it or does it just draw the difference

    Snow foam mark on MG4 plastic panel

    Snow foams don't usually leave residue like that unless they've been left too long, almost drying on the panel, before being rinsed off. Was that side of the car facing the sun or anything. Check if your foam is a high alkaline one, I try to go pH balanced if possible or mild alkaline and have...

    GivEnergy or Fox ESS

    I'll be going solar on my next house, probably 3 years away, where I intend to stay a while longer to hopefully see a decent return. The batteries will be easy & cost nothing to transport and reinstallation with new DNO application costs will get wrapped up with the solar installation. I'm not...

    GivEnergy or Fox ESS

    I wanted the giv energy and reached out to them a couple of months ago and then again last week regarding connection of the all in one's in parallel and they were honest in saying it's something they are currently testing but don't know when it will be rolled out. Unfortunately I work nights...

    GivEnergy or Fox ESS

    The all in one can only manage 6kW continuous charge/ discharge rate and can't be wired in parallel which is why I'll need either 3 smaller inverters wired in parallel or 1 bigger one to deliver the higher rates I desire to be able to run the whole house and charge my EV when needed during peak...

    GivEnergy or Fox ESS

    Has any one had experience with either of these home storage batteries. I've got an installer lined up and I'm between 3 givenergy 9.5's with 3 of the 3 kW AC coupled inverters or 7 Fox ESS 4800 batteries (1 master & 6 slaves) with the fox kh10 hybrid inverter. Interested in any...

    Homemade frunk

    No worries. I know it's a while yet but when my salary sacrifice scheme ends in 2 years someone can have it for free if they want it. Pictures don't do it justice, it looks a lot better in the flesh

    Homemade frunk

    Just done that last night to fit my Tesla UMC and ring tyre inflator, just gotta add a bit of a basic weather protector for the top now. We have some thin flexible rubber matting at work so thinking I'll attach it at the front edges and let it just sit on top.

    Battery Drain

    I used to leave mine in until some scroat broke into my other car to rob it, now I put it away in the centre cubby after every journey

    MG X Power

    Something that was staring me in the face with your post but only just stood out is that you don't need to buy an aftermarket front sway bar if you wanna soften the front, just buy and fit the smaller trophy one you mentioned

    Homemade frunk

    I decided to make my own frunk. I bent some galvanised steel conduit and flattened the ends to pick up on the same holes the aftermarket frunks do. I then riveted a length of t shaped extruded aluminium between the 2. Cut an oil resistant plastic container to allow for the slope of the bonnet...

    MG4 Bodykits & suspension

    It's quite easy for us mere mortals with regular mg4's as we can retrofit the uprated x power suspension parts but as you've already got the x power it's a case of waiting for the aftermarket suspension companies to develop and release products which will come. Does the X power have a tendency...

    MG4 Bodykits & suspension

    If you wanna keep the comfort but reduce body roll I'd be seeking beefier front and rear sway/anti roll bars first

    MG4 Bodykits & suspension

    Looking at his site the guy obviously knows his beans but if he's referring to the H&R springs being bad I'd be a little surprised. They are German anyway and have a great reputation for premium quality springs and would be miffed if they developed springs for the mg4 where the spring rates...
