    Screen colours 'off' and lack of bass

    Had my IM5 SR a couple of weeks now and loving it so far. However, there are a couple of really small annoyances and I was wondering if anyone else has them? 1) The screen colours when using Apple Carplay seem a bit off. For example the green and blues seem really luminous and there appears to...

    Hi, just got my new MGS6 yesterday! I’m able to connect successfully with CarPlay and view my contacts within CarPlay. But if I clicked on the MG interface phone icon, it says not connected.

    MG S5 EV - Apple Car

    Hello, since I bought the MGS5 EV my Android phone doesn't work. After a while they can't hear me anymore. I'm wondering if those of you who use an iPhone (AppleCar) in such a car also have such problems, does everything work ok for you? The car will be one year old in July and MG doesn't know...

    iPad/Tablet holder that attaches to the screen

    I saw a video, (I think it was on YouTube shorts) where an iPad is attached to the MG4 screen on a hinge so it can go in front of the screen and used like a big carplay screen and also can be pushed up over the screen to access the screen if needed. I kept the tab open on my browser to look at...

    EV4 (2026 Model) Infotainment , Driver Screen and Settings - Instruction Videos?

    Hi, Just picked up a new EV4 having traded in our Long Range Trophy for a Long Range Premium - overall very happy with the car, the interior feels a big upgrade and I am hoping the fsoftware will be too. However, the dealer handover was basically non existent but I have managed to work most...

    Does anyone have one of those expensive wireless carplay dongles with android built in?

    I am tempted to buy on but unsure if they are worth the money so I wanted to ask someone with one and find out which one they have if they do. I am referring to one of the ai boxes like this OttoAibox P3 Pro CarPlay AI Box. They let you use car play on iOS and android like normal but also have a...

    Navigation and CarPlay navigation, no sound - fixed

    Our MG4 Premium long range (Ealing Green) arrived on Tuesday, to a little envy from a few of our friends, in perfect time for our short break in Wales. (Replacing our old '22 MG4 Trophy, which we've loved owning). Really enjoyed driving the car and finding so many improvements, but no matter...

    Answer / end calls - iPhone carplay

    This may end up being a stupid question, but how do I answer and end calls? I have an iPhone, I use carplay. I have the MGS5 trophy long range in the UK. The ZS EV had a phone icon button that could be used to answer and end calls. My mgs5 does not. The manual shows a phone button on the...

    Infotainment Glitch

    Since buying my new HS PHEV in August 2025, I've driven almost 9000 miles, including a trip to Copenhagen and back, throughout which the car has operated flawlessly, with only a simple puncture (caused by a nail) to complain about. Last week, I drove to the north of Scotland and back, just over...

    Unused features, change my mind..?

    So, I've had the xpower for 2 years now and it HAS a bunch of features that I just don't use (or actively avoid using). I'm wondering if I'm just stuck in my ways/thinking though so I'm open to hearing if others use them and like them etc. While this could be a general MG4 thread I wasn't sure...

    Voice button

    Does the voice button on the left of the steering wheel have any use in an mg3 hybrid when: a) there is no phone in car. b) there is an iPhone but not connected in any way by USB thus ruling out Car Play. And, is the phone button on the other side just for answering/closing phone calls.
