infotainment system

In-car entertainment (ICE), or in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), is a collection of hardware and software in automobiles that provides audio or video entertainment. In car entertainment originated with car audio systems that consisted of radios and cassette or CD players, and now includes automotive navigation systems, video players, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, carputers, in-car internet, and WiFi. Once controlled by simple dashboards knobs and dials, ICE systems can include steering wheel audio controls, handsfree voice control, touch-sensitive preset buttons, and even touch screens on higher-end units.

    75 plate MG4 Trophy USB stick reloads every time I get in the car.

    My MG4 Trophy reloads the contents of the USB stick every time I get in the car. Why doesn't it retain it? I have about 600 tracks in folder by artist. Once loaded it seems to work ok, but it 5 minutes to load.

    Views on Trading UP From ZS EV

    I have a Jan '24 ZS EV Trophy Connect SR (bought July '24 as ex-demo). I'm thinking of trading it in for a MGS5 Trophy LR. The ZSEV is a car that I constantly have to think, "Well, it was cheap" to stop me getting annoyed. The entertainment software was clearly written by an 18yo intern who has...

    MG4 - Airplane mode / no data connection

    A few days ago I noticed that the MG iSMART App can't find my MG4. Yesterday I checked the car and it shows an airplane in the top right corner. Is there a setting that can cause this in the infotainment system? I also tried a forced reboot of the system (pushing the home button 30 sec.). No...

    Music via USB stick - which slot should be used?

    Hi everyone, Which USB slot in the car would be suitable for a music stick? The one above, behind the mirror, doesn't seem to be the one. Otherwise, there are only USB-C slots. Would a USB-C/USB-A combi stick be needed? And if so, where would it go? Neither music nor a stick is recognized via...

    Hi all, When using Waze on Android Auto, after I use the reversing camera the screen goes back to the Android Auto dashboard, rather than the Waze Map. If I use Google maps then it always returns to the Map after using the reversing camera. Anyone had this with Waze and know of a fix...

    Android Auto "Customise" option never available.

    We just got new phones (Pixel9a) so thought we'd give AA a try. Phone connects fine, apps are useable, but the "customise" icon is always greyed out "Not available whilst driving" when pressed. Well it's not available to me stationary, parking brake on and charging lead connected, either. Deffo...

    Main screen dimming

    The main screen does not dim to a minimum at night, even if my setting is at minimum. I have to go to the setting and then just fiddle with the settings a bit and then it turns to the minimum.. have you all faced similar issue?

    Radio not on at startup

    Every time I get back in the car I have to turn the radio back on at the display. Should it come back on again automatically?

    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.

    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...
