cries in iSMART Lite

Means?

Some geographies have a different version of iSmart, possibly called iSmart Lite.

Yeh that’s what I’m thinking but….

It’s not UK no I’ve just checked.

Those 4 digits don’t relate to your vin number somehow do they?
I‘m wondering if it’s like the last 4 digits of the vin or similar?

I'll try it later. The other option may be the digits 6 to 9, which in my case are 4099.

No go on my nuisance wagon.

No go on my nuisance wagon.

Did that make the “what did you name your car” thread? I don’t recall that gem. Does it relate to the car or passengers?

 

[Deleted member 14300]

No, it just how I wrote the coding didn't work for me either. I call my car fluke.

 

[siteguru]

Neither of the options I mentioned earlier worked.

It doesn't work for me in the SE in France. I don't gave the keyboard and have to connect the phone through BT.

 

[leonkernan]

Anyone else got any ideas?
I tried a few different codes in the keypad, things like ##200519#* for example, but no success.

 

[MuffintopDude]

I have a hunch that this is not the location where those numbers are entered to access the ENG.Mode.

Perhaps we should look towards the settings pages in the menu…

link to ussd codes This looks a lot like android dial USSD codes, there are a bunch of them for different chip manufacturers, I tried a few ones already, no luck so far, but I'll keep trying, maybe I'll post something on XDA to get help from android nerds.

I have a feeling you're right.
Having owned a few aftermarket Android headunits over the years (MTCB/MTCD/FYT/etc) this feels very familiar.

I've also tried a few of the obvious hold down the buttons while it boots to get to a boot menu.
No luck so far.

If someone got hold of an infotainment update file it would probably be easy to pull that apart and figure out.

Does nothing on the SE, which don't let you tap the version number.

Interesting. Could you post a vid of what you see / get in the equivalent place?

What does this allow you to access / change ?

cries in iSMART Lite

Wait you guys have iSmart Lite? Turkey didn't get any app from MG due to our laws and their laziness.

Same case with Tesla app but that got re-released in a week where in our region specific Tesla app we can't look at live view of cars cameras due to our laws, every citizen has the right to not be filmed in public without consent, ofcourse besides the govt.

I expected a similar move from MG where they sold over 5000 cars in Turkey (2023 target is 10k) but apperantly MG is not interested in updating the iSmart app for our laws. For the time being and over the years no iSmart, iSmart lite on Google Play or Appstore.
