    Apple CarPlay & Phone Charging

    Just took delivery of my SV Trophy LR and I cannot for the life of me get it to connect to Apple CarPlay. Also can’t get it to charge my phone via the ports or wireless charging mat. It is a brand new vehicle and wondering if there is a setting to enable these features. All tips welcome! Thanks

    Poor radio sound

    Hi, First post. I’ve recently purchased a new MG4 SE SR and I’m really impressed with it. My first EV was the ID3 and this car is definitely better than that.
