Hi everyone, new around here. Had my MG4 SE version delivered last month and so far I’m loving it, no problems at all. It’s my first EV and has been such an amazing EV to start off with.
My only minor annoyance was the fact you have to plug your phone in each time to get CarPlay to work, I’d have thought that in this day and age we could simply get in and go and not have to faff around with cables.
I bought a wireless car dongle from Amazon to try and combat this issue but having a few issues. Works flawlessly once connected but as soon as I lock the car and it powers off and re enter a few minutes later I get the animation start and the CarPlay doesn’t connect, I then have to unplug the usb and plug it back in and it’s connected wireless again. Which defeats the purpose.
Might be worth noting that if I get out for a split second and get back in the screen loads instantly and doesn’t do the whole animation (is there a way to turn the animation off does anyone know?) my guess is once it’s done a complete shut down it loses the ability to connect.
Just thought it would be worth posting to see if anyone knew anything else I could try before sending the thing back?
Thanks in advance!
