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, not a good car.

    We've got two MG4s, one SE SR 2023 and one Trophy SR 2023. Both have had faults within the first year of purchase but the SE is the clear winner. In 13 months, we've had 4 warranty repairs (5 between the two). I've driven many a car since 1999 but this one takes the "trophy'. • 1: Considerable...

    MG4 Infotainment Screen, warning about overheating

    Watch out that the infotainment screen does not get too hot in the sunshine, a few times I have lost some of the features due to this getting hot, if I remember I put something over it to protect it.

    USB Music

    I love my music, but the USB option is useless. I have about a dozen albums on the stick and when I plug it in, all the music is downloaded into the infotainment system and rearranged into alphabetical order, regardless of what album it comes from. If I want to hear a particular album with the...

    How old is the infotainment processor ?

    I noticed on the infotainment screen that you can't just tap to select things, you have to press and hold, only for about a second, but it makes it unsafe if you have to select anything whilst driving. FWIW the screen is clean. I was wondering this morning, as the system booted up and declared...

    MG4 infotainment screen only shows MG

    My MG4 Excite 51 (the cheapest version in Australia) intermittently blanks the infotainment screen and only shows the MG startup logo. Even when the car was locked this screen stayed on for a while. When restarted there were no problems. Any ideas?
