MG Cyberster Wiki - Hints, Tips and Solutions

[m0rph]

I just ordered an original Yoke steering wheel from the Thai MG Dealer in Phuket and although it comes in red only and my car has the grey interior.
It takes 45 days to deliver and costs about THB 11.000,- including installation.
I will update with some real pictures once it is installed.

Has this been installed already?

Today i walked away from the car and forgot to lock the car. I noticed it because suddenly the music stopt playing (a bit too loud, i admit), so the car 'stopped' of turned itself off. But to my surprise it did not lock itself (mirrors did not fold).
Does anyone know how to change this? I am used to walk away from the car, and it locks itself (and it thought the Cyberster would do this also).

A tip for left hand drivers (perhaps it works also with right hand), set your settings for Android auto to Uk/right hand (the other way than normal), this way you can see your route a bit better (due to the block of the steering wheel)

Has anyone found a solution to change the 50% minimum decharge limit?
Not for now, but in case of emergency/major power loss, of would be nice to use the electricity of the car (not just until 50%)

 

[Briann]

Perhaps a dumb question: has anyone found a proper use for the right hand screen?
On the left you can have Android/Apple, navigation, music...
On the right ehhh nothing useful...

 

[Briann]

Am I doing something wrong? I adjust the seat and press M and then 1, in the main screen it says: saved (or something like that).
But it the seat is adjusted afterwards, and I press 1, nothing happens...
I've also tried 2, but the same result (well no result)

Long Press 1 to recall position - keep it pressed until seat stops moving

I assume you mean V2L?
I'm picking up my car next weekend, so didn't have a chance to test yet.

One tip: don't buy the MG adapter, which is limited to 2.3kW. The car is capable of 7.4kW output, and aftermarket adapters cost a fraction of the OEM one.

Does this only work when in P? I checked it while driving, but no difference between a short and long press.

Yes, i bought one on AliExpress (so i dont expect the best quality) and tried it, and it worked (just using a phone charger to test).
It would be a shame if it is limited to 50%. I dont hope to ever use it, but if needed you want it all too be available.

I've only ever done it when stationary. Manual says stopped and doors closed.

@danielo110474, this is version 2.0! The UK MG site still has 1.0, is this from the EU/Spain MG site?

I wanted to comment on something that's happened to me twice in the car with the passenger seat. When taking a sharp turn, the passenger seat suddenly tilts forward, the seatback reclines, and the seatbelt tightens. It's as if the car is preparing for an accident, but the strange thing is that the passenger seat doesn't do anything. It's a very strange sensation and it scares the passenger. Has this happened to anyone else? I don't know if it's a bug or if it just works that way...

under hard acceleration the seat belt tightens. Is that what you are feeling. Its the same here.

No, in addition to the belt tightening significantly, the seat starts to lean forward, and the backrest tilts forward at the same time, creating a sensation that the belt is strangling you and won't stop. The passenger had to remove the belt because it couldn't hold the pressure while the seat was doing all this; it's very oppressive. And it's not caused by accelerating too much. I mentioned it to the dealership, and they have no idea why it happens. They say they'll check with their central office. It's not normal.
