    Carplay "AI" Dongle.

    Decided to try one of these carplay "AI" (There's nothing AI about them they just run android) dongles on my MG5 (PFL) to see if it's an upgrade from my Carlinkit mini v3 which occasionally decides it doesn't wish to talk to the car and also won't firmware update anymore (I wonder if it's a...

    Carplay issue

    HI everybody. I have only just taken delivery of my pre-facelift MG5 and I have tried several times to get Apple Carplay to work. I have a question for other owners.

    Bluetooth overriding Apple Carplay

    In my SE SR, I have my android phone paired by bluetooth with the car (because I use it for iSmart and Android Auto). Whenever I drive my daughter she plugs her iPhone into the car left hand USB-A port so she can play her Spotify tunes through CarPlay, but whenever I get any...

    Trophy's 4G connection and Android Auto / Carplay

    Just been watching one of Burl Solomon's helpful videos on YouTube about the free WiFi hotspot on the Trophy. This was a useful feature I'd overlooked. With that in mind I suspect I will use the AA for internet radio rather than use DAB, as the DAB sounds a bit glitchy, and is missing logos...

    ZS EV CarPlay will not activate

    I cannot get my iPhone to connect to Apple CarPlay. I've tried my wife's iPhone and several flavours of lightning cable including 3 x brand new genuine Apple cables and still no joy. Once in a blue moon CarPlay activates but then drops out after 2 minutes. Any ideas?

    MG5 Apple CarPlay keeps dropping out

    I recently upgraded to an MG5 FL and have been having problems with CarPlay dropping out (more frequently than it used to on my HS PHEV). Sometimes this happens when the right/left turn cameras activated onscreen, so I’ve temporarily disabled that function and on other occasions it just...

    iOS Carplay, Apple Maps (EV), Wireless adapters

    Hey every one I wanted to bring together my experiences and thoughts on this topic and get other peoples views. I have used CarPlay for many years and like it over the built in systems. I prefer Apple Maps over other maps maybe just because I find it easy to use and have always used it. iOS...

    Microphone doesn’t appear to work on Apple CarPlay

    When I received a text/WhatsApp in my old car (SEAT Ibiza) I could reply using voice. But in my new MG4, this doesn’t seem to work; it is not picking up my voice. I haven’t tried phone calls yet, just texts. Do I have a dodgy microphone, are there any setting in the infotainment system I need...

    Carplay voice

    Hi, I got my orange trophy last night, only issue I can't figure out is with apple carplay. When I hold the voice button to activate Siri, the icon appears (large animated circle) but then immediately goes to a small animated circle and it will then not pick up my voice commands. I have tried...

It's all working well except that I cannot listen to car radio when it is plugged in, is there any setting in the...

    MG4 Carplay RHD Setting?

    I have my new MG4 - everything is perfect - sorted out all the pings and bongs to my liking - and I could not be happier. However - CarPlay on my infotainment display is shown in LHD format (menu on the passenger side). On my previous MG ZS it was always on the RHD side - making it closer to...

    CarPlay won’t play.

    I use a TomTom app on Carplay for my Satnav. Works very well. However if I also use a streaming app for music/radio the Carplay drops out. It can’t seem to cope with two functions at once. Am I doing something wrong?

    Wireless Carplay with Carlinkit

    So I bit the bullet and bought a Carlinkit 4.0 the other day from Amazon. £87 and two days later and it has arrived this morning. I thought I'd throw up a quick post about it in case anyone else is tempted by the purchase and wants some more info. The MG4 isn't on the compatibility list for the...

    CarPlay - is it wireless on MG4?

    can anyone confirm if CarPlay connection is wireless on the MG4 please? I was just about to put my cplay2air adapter up for sale as I assumed that this technology would be pretty standard nowadays. Fords have always been behind with that sort of thing and I had to get it for my 2020 Puma, and I...
