New owner of MG4 Trophy. Have managed to bind my phone to the car but when we try to use the same instructions to bind my wife's phone the instructions do not match what comes up on the car display. None of the MG or iSmart sites make any mention of binding more than one phone. Does anyone know if this is possible?
 
If you put binding phone into the search box top right of the page you will find that the question has already been asked here.
Log in your wife's phone with the same login details as your phone but it will log yours out. Only 1 phone can be logged in at a time.
 
And to enlighten even further

Once your account is set up ensure you note the password. Getting account password reset is a real pain so take heed

Initial bind of account to car
All you are doing is using a phone with the app to link the car vin (via the QR code) with your account to initialize the account connection to the car.

One car, one account, one user id (email), one password only

The initial set up phone is not locked to the "bind" it is/was merely a tool to set it up.

You can only do the "bind"/link process once. Once done you will not be presented with a qr code again as the car is already linked to an account.

You can use multiple devices with the app loaded to communicate with the car using only the same account user ID (email address) and password you set up initially. This helps, for example, if you are a new phone every year type of person, if your phone is lost/stolen/dies on you, or having two or more drivers sharing the car

Only one active user can communicate with the car at any one time. Any new device logins will force out the current/active/previous login.

There is no method of checking any problems at the MG infrastructure end as of yet. You may experience communication problems occasionally without any clear reason, remembering you need to be in an area where the cars esim can get a good signal in the first place.

The cars communication can currently can go to sleep occasionally, you need to physically unlock the car etc.to reactivate it.

Thanks very much! Didn't see that thread but it's exactly what we needed. And such a simple solution!
