I would get one from a recommendation as not all leads are made to the same standard.

Are you using a genuine apple cable? Many others don’t work and MG specify apple cable.

Thank you, similar answer no, both leads are new from Amazon and worked on my previous car, I have now ordered a Apple manufactured lead hopefully will work

Thank you for the advice on changing leads for me new EV Trophy MG main dealer cost was £250 EBay cost £89 MG brand with bag, what a huge saving

No problem.
When I picked up my car last month, I asked my dealer how much for a Type 2 Cable and I'm sure he said something like £235!
I told him, I try somewhere else thanks.

Took until last week before I needed one but I'm glad I waited.

No luck with Apple CarPlay purchased new Apple lead, car will not open the CarPlayer also the 360 cameras are very dark even though the brightness is 100% on and no warning when parking front of car is this normal? I will be returning the car back to the dealership service department to check this out ??
