    A wireless carplay adaptor that actually seems to work reliably?!

    I've been using a Carlinkit 5.0 for the best part of a year and it's been reasonable; once you set the "startup delay" to 25 or 30 seconds and make sure you've updated the firmware it works 90% of the time which for me was OK - my wife was less impressed with the occasional dropout and so I...

    CarPlay Lag - Screen Scroll

    Just wondering if it's my setup or if the head unit is just a bit underpowered but since switching from my Ioniq to the MG4 I've noticed CarPlay touch controls being really laggy. Like the scroll within YouTube music is not smooth. It scrolls a page at a time rather than line by line. Makes...

    I thought I’d had an OTA…….

    I use CarPlay a lot, and a couple of days ago, I had an album cover in the CarPlay box on the ‘Home’ screen. Wow, I thought. Never seen that before; it’s usually just a blue box. My first thought was that an update had occurred. Short lived though, as I haven’t seen it again. I wish I had taken...

    CarPlay dongle help please

    I am looking to buy a CarPlay dongle for my iPhone . I want one that will mirror my screen including Netflix etc but will mainly use for imaps and music. Any suggestions ? Also, if I leave it plugged in when I’m not in the car, will it drain my battery ? Thanks.

    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.
