SOS warning

[Redda Joppe]

Hi all
I just get a SOS warning. First in yellow, then in red?
After 2-3 minutes it disappeared.
No message in app!?

Any one experiencing this phenomenon ?

I'm not sure if @tsedge had this problem previously? (Or something similar). Maybe try searching this board for SOS or eCall?

Perfectly "normal" for the MG4. (Mine anyway!?)

Mine does this at least once a week.

An update to R46 made no difference to this 'glitch' in my particular case.

Always back on next trip out.

Yup have had an SOS warning once before in my car. Put it down to software glitch or no phone signal when the car booted up so SOS system boot up sequence could not complete.

I had this for a few months, at least once every 30 minutes. It had loads of updates on the way but the final update which fixed it is described here:

Hello from a new owner!

Just wanted to say hi. I've been lurking and reading threads for a while to get an idea of owners' experiences before I took delivery of a 9 month old 3000 mile orange Trophy 5 days ago. Got to say I'm really enjoying the car so far. It's a joy to drive, even on a boring commute. Great to...

I had that from day 1. 8 months in, dealer took 4 visits, one antenna change, and finally a comms module change to get SOS working. New module works fine, iSMart now doesn't work, so another dealer trip this week

Incidentally it also improved iSmart operation considerably. I still get plenty of bad reads on an android phone, but it no longer fails permanently and so I no longer need to go and prod the car to kick it back in to life.

Yes. In my case it was a data allowance restriction so they had to reconfigure the onboard connectivity.

Now it still fails but quite rarely, once every couple of weeks or so rather than every journey.

Yes. We’ve had this fairly regularly over the two years of ownership. Seems to be happening more frequently recently. It does disappear after a few minutes.
Also the ‘rather poor’ speed limit recognition has started telling us the it’s now 70mph at random. It’s so hard to comply when we’re in the middle of town.
We’re due a service today so maybe these things will be addressed?

Mine just recently started doing it after 12 months with no problems . Anyone have any more updates on this . It’s going in next week for service so I’ll keep you all posted .

In my case, I attributed it to lack of coverage, signal loss or a cell tower change, but it's true that I'm noticing it more and more.
I've also read that there's an update on this, and I'm quite behind on that since my dealership is only doing the bare minimum.

I get this quite often at home when I start up but I know I live in a low signal strength area so that does explain it. I've never had it occur elsewhere.

on my ZS EV the T box failed. If that is the case sat nav etc doesn't know where it is and the phone microphone doesn't work.
MG are repairing it Fri

They checked all the software for updates and even updated from R25-R27 infotainment . Still have the SOS warning light issues but less frequent. The screen shows full 4G signal whn this happens.
As a side note on R27 , I don’t know if it’s related, the climate control seems to work better on Auto (no cold feet) . The ACC seems more refined in traffic (less jerky). CarPlay seems more stable.
Still won’t charge on Tesla chargers.

Well MG surpassed themselves . Went to pick up the car & the guy in front of me for the third time was told his part was the wrong one. Guess what, Mr Cockup came to town. I'm now heading for 3 months without a T box that works
