    Anyone 'pepped their brake lights up' yet, as Vyvyan would say?

    Mechanically speaking, you're not changing the vehicle in any way. I don't think it's even worth calling the insurance company over.

    Charging in rain with granny charger. Any problems?

    I personally wouldn't bother. I'm on the top of a hill and wide open to the elements and haven't had any problems with snow, ice, sideways rain etc. I just close the flap against the plug and it's fine.

    Charging in rain with granny charger. Any problems?

    I've been charging from the granny charger for a full year and never had any problems. I have an industrial extension cable from my utility building/garage at the back of the house all the way (30m) to the hedge at the front of the house. There's a double garden/waterproof socket on the end that...

    BP Gigahub (Birmingham NEC) Hypercharging, MG4 says no

    Pre-war house, can't fit a smart meter in. *I know it sounds like a cop out but, it's the truth. I do love EVs, I've had 3 so far but the faffing and costs currently are really dampening my EV spirits. I totally get what you're saying however, the M42, A42 and M1 North doesn't have an abundance...

    BP Gigahub (Birmingham NEC) Hypercharging, MG4 says no

    Just had the most bizarre and infuriating moment while trying to charge my MG4 I pulled into the exact same bay I used 2 days prior on my way to friend's house, only this time I was on my way home. The car totally refused to charge. I tried using the BP app, BP tried manually starting the...

    Keyless start? Anyone got it working?

    Nah, they're just shit, well their app is anyways 😁

    Keyless start? Anyone got it working?

    I might give this a go. I've a domain with a 'catch all' email account so it doesn't really matter what I use. I've already got various addresses such as UpYoursNintendo@... and APCOAareSHIT@... 😂

    Is Android Auto working on your MG4 ?

    Apologies for any assumptions however, we're not able to see precisely what you're doing. The very best cables to use (in my honest opinion) are Anker. These would definitely do the trick. The next thing to try would be to plug in an iPhone to see if Apple CarPlay works. If CarPlay works...

    API integration

    I was using SAIC MQTT for a while but, I found that it kept logging me out of the mobile app so I binned it off.

    Is Android Auto working on your MG4 ?

    Is the phone charging when plugged into the USB A socket? This could indicate that there's a loose connection at the back end. *not the USB C socket

    Four way indicators randomly flashing

    My MG4 Trophy does this at least once or twice per journey. If I'm rolling in traffic on the motorway it flashes every time another vehicle passes me on either side.

    MG iSmart 2.0 [merged]

    Mine does that sometimes. Just keep trying to refresh the screen. Also, I believe there's a timeout if the vehicle's been parked for more than x days.

    Do you flash other mg4s?

    I ALWAYS wave to my fellow volcano orange owners, although I've only seen about 5 others on the road.

    Keyless start? Anyone got it working?

    Yup. Tried every which way combination I could think of. The only thing I haven't tried is just pressing the pedal and turning the selector. I'll give that a go at some point.

    Smaller Key fob?

    That's a negative... the iPad LiDAR thingy doesn't give enough detail at close range. Or at least I couldn't get it to work.

    Smaller Key fob?

    If the car dies, I'll go home, get thr key and call MG Breakdown.

    Smaller Key fob?

    Yeah, everything else works fine. I've done a hell of a lot of testing on it. E.G. phones of different makes models and OS. And I've been on to MG HQ and tried to troubleshoot it with them without success. Here the link to the keyless start thread where I posted a lot about all the steps I've...
