    CarPlay

    CarPlay screen goes black sometimes. If you touch the screen it recognises the presses so if you hit the right spot it skips track etc. Pressing home and then back into CarPlay sometimes fixes it other times it doesn’t. Anyone know a perm fix or is it another thing to add the the dealer hit list?

    Quick return to CarPlay?

    Only had my mg4 a couple of days. It’s an SE, no satnav, so I’m using CarPlay for that. If I select a function on the display eg change temperature, is there a way of going straight back to CarPlay screen, rather than Home then CarPlay press?

    How it should have been from factory.

    i couldnt take the constant fussing on the built in screen. Make use of a pretty useless charge mat. Wireless carplay, 60fps retina screen, very snappy, very quick. Boots up very quick, even with the annoying MG cut power completely when you go into drive mode.

    Wireless CarPlay supporting switching between two phones?

    Hi, I am thinking of getting a wireless CarPlay device to avoid having to plug my phone in. We often want to switch over between phones while driving, e,g. to listen to different music. Is there a device on the market that lets you switch phones seamlessly whenever you want to?

    An elegant electronic symbiosis (aka using CarPlay)

    Back in the UK and catching up with my XPower. Finally realised the hotspot password isn’t the MG password I chose originally or the PIN but a separate password given in the infotainment. Tried it with my iPhone 14. Worked first time. And it supports Apple CarPlay. The car gives the phone...

    Any one else on v.46 & found that Apple Car play (S/W) will simply not load up when you start the car up - No matter your start up sequence (and waiting to connect the iphone).. Then if it suddenly decides to 'detect' the USB connected iPhone on an Apple cable, it then disconnects at the...
