    Apple CarPlay Connectivity - Maps, Spotify

    Fourth query for today. Aus MG4 Essence I have connected my iPhone 15 via CarPlay. Google Maps- the car doesn’t seem to recognise or download the map. All I see is the single road I’m on. I have 4-5 bars of 5G, which the car shows. It either doesn’t load at all, or loads after many minutes...

    YouTube comment about MG4 battery management, LFP vs NMC

    I came across this comment on a YouTube video by a commentator going by the handle of NIanais. I'll quote the important part here. (She - I assume she, because of the feminine avatar - also goes on to criticise MG's customer service, in terms we're all familiar with.) To begin with, we must...

    Grrrrr! [stone chips]

    Not sure how you're getting along with dinks, chips and scratches. We picked up out first stone chip on the leading edge of the bonnet (?). It's always frustrated me how manufacturers use a light undercoat. Our previous car was black with a white undercoat so every little thing showed up.

    Pre heating

    Help please, Is there anyway to stop the car from pulling electric from the charger rather than the battery when the car is plugged in. Ideally I don’t want the car pulling from the charger when pre heating. Thank you

    Automatic High Beam Issues

    Has anyone experienced any problems with the AHB activating incorrectly? Twice this morning the system decided to turn on High Beam within the space of 100 metres in the face of oncoming vehicles. The weather was clear and the car was clean. The speed was 20mph (it being Wales) in a flat stretch...

    How much damage to write off your MG4?

    Well not a great deal it seems! I can see the intrusion into the rear, behind the bumper but still.... I guess a lot of it will be to do with the car being relatively 'cheap' to buy, hence the threshold of repair costs, versus replacement is reached earlier. Some interesting photos...

The roads are not in very good condition here and in winter snow is constantly pushing against the bottom of car. Can anyone give an assessment on how well the bottom of...

    Driving with one pedal

    If you set the setting for driving with 1 pedal on a fully loaded MG, this setting does not work, this setting only works when you apparently have 85% battery capacity. Is it correct that this setting is completely linked to energy recovery because it seems that if this setting works, it...

    Charging the MG4

    I drove an Ampera E for 5 years and I have now been driving the MG4 Luxury for a week to almost complete satisfaction. But what I find very unfortunate is that you cannot set the time within which the car must charge at the home charging station (yes, I saw that you can set the starting time...
