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.

    MG4 Infotainment Touchscreen

    My touchscreen doesn't like my finger, especially when driving, and I wonder if the touchscreen is compatible with a stylus?

    Is it really that difficult to update the infotainment at the dealer?

    My car was at my dealer for hours today, trying to get the R63 update. When I picked up the car they just told me that the update stopped during installation, and that I had to come back another day.

    New car day

    Picked up my Face Lift SE today, waiting for the old SR Excite to get collected. The SE seems a much improved car, love the trim inside and infotainment system. Sure I’ll have a few questions over the coming days

    can you set nfotainment screen to dark permanently

    I am finding on my MG4 that the infotainment screen often turn to light mode when it is dark outside. I can change this by turning the auto lights off and on again but it would be easier if I could set the screen onto dark permanently. Can this be done and if so how? Thanks
