Bluetooth randomly disconnects from phone after a few days

[GameZone]

I've basically given up on Bluetooth, because every time I connect my phone it will work fine until it randomly reject it a few days later, and I have to go trough the hassle to pair it again. It happens on R46. Anyone else having this?

There's a few threads on this.
But 46 was supposed to resolve it.

It sure didn't.

Well that sucks. I'm booked in for updates next week. Was really hoping to see the end of dozens of MG Bluetooth pairs on my phone.

I'm using an iPhone 15 so it's brand new. Don't know if that causes the issue.

Is it the infotainment update that is the Bluetooth, or is there a separate update?

Do not know, I thought the R46 had fixed the issue and then it started to act up again. Clarly not fixed even with R46.

You having the same issue?

Yes, but I don`t know how often it will disconnect now. After 2-3 weeks on R46 it did it 3 times in one day, have not happened again yet (2 weeks cince last time now). Before that when on R30 it was exactly like yours.

Its done it once with my R40 so far in 6 weeks (Car built July 2023).

I just keep checking the symbol apears now in the Infotainmnet screen as part of my pre-flight list !!

I thought the upgrade to R46 recommended and installed by MG garage had sorted this when it was done about 6 weeks ago. However BT disconnected again earlier this week and I havent bothered reconnecting yet.

@GameZone,

The BT has different reactions on the MG4.

When you Idevice is set, normally everything must go on. But sometimes, not.
I have this look on mine, (Trophy R46 first one R46 version, shortcut wrong on the left star).

Every time I go in, the BT is Synch & my music works fine. But sometimes, there is no sound, so I pump up the volume with the right joystick on the steering wheel.

But sometimes no sound at all, Wow, what happens ?!?
On the main display you have two arrows, select one of them to move from radio to BT to Amazon and go back to BT. Most of the time your sound will be back.

Most of the time my idevice plays music alone, sometime I have to run the app first and the sound goes on.

Most of people think BT is wrong, but not.

Check what you do before your what to run your music.

There is a special update 4 BT

My dealer said they applied an update this week to the body control module that was supposed to fix the BT issue. My infotainment is still on R33.

It's too early to say if it has been fixed yet and the missus has taken the car for the weekend. I'll be trying the phone as often as possible next week.

The auto lights do seem to be a bit better, but again early days.

After the most recent update to my car, it appeared to stop, that was October 23 its now Nov 14 and it has happened only once where as it was happening potentially twice a day. So I see that as some success. If you haven't already, can I suggest you go on to your phone and remove all the "MG" pairings listed and then start the process over a gain. It may help
