    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...

    Another Android Auto Carplay wireless adaptor question

    I can see that there are a lot of threads about android auto wireless adaptors but I haven't found a solution to my problem. I have a late 2023 MG4 Trophy and, although Android Auto works fine with a cable, I have been trying to get a wireless adaptor to work for a few weeks now' I have tried 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...

    Apple Carplay - Google Maps search can't press first (and correct) line

    Hi, When I search for a adress in Google Maps on the left screen in Apple Carplay - the correct entry pops up as usual after typing a few letters. However, I can't press that line (it simply does not respond). If I press search I get loads of incorrect entries (because I only entered a few...

    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.

    Back to a 5 and all is good

    Well I must have gone through a chunk of the SAIC MG catalogue, Mk1 3, GS, ZS mk2, 5SE, 4XP and S5 Trophy. All have been outstanding in their field regarding value, reliability, driving experience all-in and electrically at least super economical. To top all that off the residuals were better...

    Audio keeps going - random wish

    Relatively new to the MG5. I'm getting used to the no start/stop button, but as we know the infotainment system keeps going until the car is locked. Given that so much is just software, I do wish there were a setting available to effectively turn the infotainment off if it's in park and the...

    CarPlay Shortcut

    I did search but can't find what I think would be really useful - the trophy we have is my wife's car so I have only managed to drive it a few times so far (I think I know more than her though!) - one thing that is really annoying me is to get back to CarPlay really quickly - I have to click the...

    Fixed the quick access AC menu in CarPlay & Android Auto

    Since my MG4 was updated to R67, accessing the AC settings has become annoying. You now have to exit CarPlay (CP) or Android Auto (AA) completely before you can pull down the dropdown menu. I found a solution that fixes this and makes access quick again! The Solution I used the MG4 Swipe...

    MG S5 Apple Carplay/UI freezing

    Hi guys, I have been enjoying my MGS5 since I got it back in December and haven’t had any issues until today with my Apple CarPlay which has been bugging out and freezing while I am driving and the only way to reset it is by pressing the home button until it reboots. It’s quite annoying...

    With Apple rolling out iOS 26.3 publicly mid-February, sharing this as a precaution to take with updating. Since installing the beta, CarPlay is completely broken for me. So CarPlay completely stopped working entirely on my 2019 ZS EV since updating to iOS 26.3 beta — phone not detected at all...

    Wired CarPlay Temporary/Intermittent glitch

    I realise that I may be getting into geek world, but if anyone clever can advise: Wired CarPlay stopped working. Wireless was fine, but, for reasons I won't go into unless you're really curious, I need it to work wired. I went through the diagnostic steps as follows: Moved the cable to the...
