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.

    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...

    Light or dark screen confusion

    Hi, I just ordered an MG4 Trophy extended. My first ever new car. I'm trying to work out if there is a dark mode for the infotainment system screen. I have asked my dealer (car... nothing else) whether the screen has a dark mode I can activate, as I don't like the light grey theme, and prefer...

    Does the MG4 EV hate LKA secretly itself?

    Throwing this out there to the crowd! Recently when completing the usual pre flight checks like turning off LKA, I have noticed something strange. When the infotainment screen boots up quickly and you head to the MG Pilot tab to disable LKA, the option to do so is there, as normal, mocking me...

    Couple of odd ones today... any thoughts?

    Hi all. Couple of little issues today. 1. I always switch LKA and brake assist to alert. I take the same journey every day to work. On the side of one road there is a parked car that is ALWAYS in the same place. Today, completely out of the blue, I got an alert on overtaking it. No car coming...

    Sound system

    I'm sitting here waiting for my son, and I'm having a play with infotainment settings. I assume you all have Arkamys system and with virtual sub switched on. Without these 2, the sound is terrible.

    Been singing the MG4s praises since I got the car earlier this year, despite a very strange air ventilation issue I've had very little to complain about with both car and MG in general.. ..Until this week. Tuesday evening I got in the car and to my surprise the main infotainment screen just...

    MG4 Trophy hot spot

    The car hotspot has stopped working since the last infotainment update. It is NOT due to the level of useage as I hardly use it. I have seen other posts about this on the likes of FB and they suggest an update fix is coming, but my dealer was not aware of an update, or even the problem being...

    MG4 New 12.3 inch screen??

    I’ve seen a few references to new MG4s in China and maybe Europe already have or will have larger infotainment screens - 12.3 inches. Does anyone have one of these new screens and if so are they more responsive to touch than the original screens? Thanks

    It's at it again.....infotainment screen upside down

    I'd posted a few months ago about the infotainment screen being flipped when the car booted up. Generally behaved itself with the odd occasion the start up logo would be upside down and then correct itself. Now for the last 2 weeks it's pretty much been upside down.... startup, main screen...

    MG4 Mysteries

    Having owned my MG4 (Phase 2 / Australian version) for a little under a year now, I can say I'm pretty happy with it overall (so nice to drive!) but, it has a few quirks that I can't explain. Maybe someone here knows, or maybe you can just add to my list of quirks. The ones that I find myself...
