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.

    I can't bind my car!

    I picked up my new MG4 Trophy at the start of the week and while I'm enjoying it, there are some niggles. The main one is that I can't in any way shape or form bind the app to the car. I set up an account before getting the car but when I go into the log in part of settings, there's no QR code...

    Do R59 (Trophy) or newer fix any of these issues?

    1. Radio not starting when turning on the car. 2. Radio only find one channel. Have to reset infotainment to fix this. 3. Bluetooth disconnecting after 2-3 days. 4. Infotainment (rarely) restart during driving. 5. Make it less laggy?

    Infotainment screen keeps switching. Unable to use A/C and other functions

This prevents the selection of any functions including A/C, 360 camera, ADAS etc. Even theb favourite "star"...

    Radio stayed on.

    Strange thing today, the radio didn't turn off when I got out and locked the car. The screens went black as normal but the radio was still playing. Tried turning car off in the menus and getting out and restarting the car, still the same. The only way I could turn it off was by holding the home...

    Fog light not turning on

    I have always found it difficult to turn on the fog light due to the stupid positioning of the button on the touch-screen, but I did manage to do it once or twice. Not for a while though. I have had the infotainment upgraded from R13 to R33 since I last had the fog light on, I think. On Sunday...

    The SE 1100R38 Infotainment Thread

    Had my 2nd service today ... all was done as expected, except the rear undertray support as the parts weren't in - I'm getting that done next Thursday. This is what's listed on my invoice: As can be seen my FICM has been updated to 1100R38 (as well as some other module updates). :)...

    Screen Off

    I have not seen this referred to here and could not find any info in the 'manual' either. I had seen that the infotainment screen could be turned completely off to just leave a clock on a black screen. I asked AI which informed me to 'swipe down' on the screen. This shows another...

    Visual and audible Warning signs.

    Could anyone tell me please why I have got a steering wheel symbol flashing on the infotainment screen. This happened yesterday and there was a high pitched "chirping" what I can only think was some sort of warning. We only got the ZS Tommy last Wednesday bought brand new.

    SF on infotainment and dashed line on power meter?

    Hi, new owner of a 2021 HS Phev Exclusive here. Really happy with the car but have a couple of queries that I cannot find answers to in the manual. 1. On the infotainment display it sometimes displays 'SF' in the top left next to the Bluetooth symbol. Anyone know what SF stands for? 2. On the...

    MG4 Infotainment Screen

    Does mg4 infotainment system come with a protective film? I just got mine and I thought so because the corner of the screen peeled off, but when I tried to peel it off it didn’t come off easily and broke so I stopped. It doesn’t make sense for it not to come with one, and if this is a defect...

    Infotainment, USB music album info not showing

    2022 ZS LR. On the Infotainment screen top level (3 sections, Range, Music, nav), music from the USB is shown OK (Album graphic, title, forward and back buttons etc). When you touch that USB section of the screen to expand it, the screen becomes a greyish blank colour. Also when using the Nav...

    Follow Me Home

    I never made this work, I know that for other MGs you have to Turn Off the car using the push button then pull the headlight lever once, however on the MG4 there is no Push Button, so I just set it to Park, and pull the light switch once, get out, and lock the car, however Follow Me Home doesn't...

    Infotainment going all Wonky!

    My car's infotainment system is totally freaking out. The touch screen's fine, but I can't get to the settings or use the steering wheel camera shortcut either. I'm thinking a factory reset might fix it, but I'm not sure how to do it without being able to navigate. Android Auto works though...

    MG4 Xpower

    Hi all, first time posting. I have an MG4 XPower and was wondering if anyone else has had issues with the MG app logging out on their phone? I’m using an iPhone 12 on iOS 18 (and had the same problem on iOS 17). Also, does anyone experience problems with the infotainment system, like the DAB...

    Battery temperature on the centre infotainment screen, a godsend

    I have Car Scanner running on iOS (iPhone) and using CarPlay I can see dashboards with sensor readings as I go. This morning I planned to pop to the local grocery store to buy some food and rapid charge to 80%. It was 5°C outside but the battery pack was between 9.5°C and 11°C. I switched the...

    Car Scanner Pro

    Car Scanner Pro has recently been added to Apple CarPlay (and Android Auto I think), so it's possible to see your percentage charge on your infotainment screen now. I have a problem with my pre-facelift ZS though - shortly after turning off and locking the car the alarm sounds, unless I...
