infotainment

Infotainment (a portmanteau of information and entertainment), also called soft news as a way to distinguish it from serious journalism or hard news, is a type of media, usually television or online, that provides a combination of information and entertainment. The term may be used disparagingly to devalue infotainment or soft news subjects in favor of more serious hard news subjects. Infotainment-based websites and social media apps are gaining traction due to their focused publishing of infotainment content, e.g. BuzzFeed.

    USB music returns to shuffle on each start

    I was happy to find that the Infotainment system was able to manage.flac as well as .MP3 files on a usb stick but we've found that whenever we start the car, it reverts to playing in shuffle mode rather than normal sequential mode as it was last left. Any way to fix this?

    I'm done with my dealer. Help needed!

    Does anyone know a dealer in the North West that will update the Infotainment/FICM on request? I don't care if I have to pay for it. I've been back and forth with my dealer and they just can't get MG to release the update to them. I'm sick of the stock 2023 infotainment issues and just want it done.

    What is the maximum number of tracks that an MG4 Infotainment system will accept read/index from USB drive before crashing

    Recently, I plugged my main music USB flash drive into the MG4SE infotainment. It recognized the drive and started indexing the files and the folder structure, then began counting the files as they were being indexed - mostly FLAC files. At a little over 8,000 on the count, the counting froze...

    Infotainment screen lock/Passenger mode.

    Is there an infotainment lock on screen to prevent passengers and kids from changing important settings. I have the mg zs trophy hybrid + that I got the other day. If not, is there software updates, a work around of third party software that can help? Many Thanks Natasha Kent
