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.

    Sat Nav issue

    Hi Just got an MG4 and struggling with the Sat nav. It works fine when selecting any location it already knows, eg supermarkets and MG garages. However when I try and enter addresses / postcodes the keypad is greyed out so I can’t select a location. Any ideas on this?

Each time, it was solved the next time I drove the car. One time I noticed volume went to the required level after pressing "P" for...

    Got an MG3 as a courtesy car today

    My HS PHEV was in getting some damage repaired that someone else caused, and I was given an MG3. Inside I was pleasantly surprised by the two screens with all the infotainment etc, very similar to the HS really. It was a 1.5 petrol and only a 5 speed gearbox which I don't think is good enough...

    Infotainment system factory reset

    Silly question probably, but does a infotainment factory reset remove previously installed updates to it or anything else? I am having trouble getting the spacebar to work, when I touch it I get language options just like the "world" button/icon.

    Screen stuck or black

    Hello. The infotainment screen on my MG4 freezes after a short time of use and also goes black, unable to reset the screen with the home button. It started happening with the heat, especially when connecting the Android phone via cable. Has anyone experienced something similar?
