Not saving is so stupid. We should be able to save or the option to disable something should be completely removed.
Ooooh! Anyone know if this works with MG4s? I’m happy to play with this if I can have my car, my way and not be dictated to by NCAP, MG or the government. I’m such a rebel! ?
There is already something that will enable auto window closing/opening with the remote. It speaks standard ODB2, so it should be doable, depending on the capabilities of the MG system.Will it though?
Does it require a certain amount of access to the software from the manufacturer?
Along the lines of intelligent Octopus, which we know MG aren’t helping with?
I AM SO JEALOUS!!!!!Having a car that can use OBD11 (eleven, not two) is great fun.
So far I’ve switched LKA to ‘remember last setting’, which is obviously off.
In itself worth every damn penny of the £50
I’ve also set the rear lights to ‘Scandinavian’, which means they stay on all the time, and changed the ‘quick flick’ indicators to 4 flashes instead of three.
I hope so as collecting our Mg4 Trophy tomorrow ?Am I correct in thinking you can now set your drive modes to one of the star buttons?

Is it easy to do? Collecting new car tomorrow and I know the LKA being on unless I remember everytime to turn it off will pish me off!Having a car that can use OBD11 (eleven, not two) is great fun.

Might wait a while for a reply to that, as I believe Bowfer's been banned, unless he's lurking or using another pseudonym?Is it easy to do? Collecting new car tomorrow and I know the LKA being on unless I remember everytime to turn it off will pish me off!

Unfortunately not as easy as some other cars. You need to enter a menu and press a few buttons on the infotainment screen. Mine even comes up with a small pop up to confirm I want to disable it !!. It's the same with One Pedal Drive (OPD) (except no pop up warning), so for me I have a startup ritual of going through the menus and changing to my desired settings.Is it easy to do?

See, I’m not so sure about this now. The MG ZS has sticky settings for LKA, FCA, RCA, sign recognition (which is a joke as mine insists I live in a 20mph world), they stay where you put them. I think that vehicle is also NCAP5 rated, so, surely what’s good for one should be good for the other. This is driving me crazy! Bloody thing nearly launched me through the wind screen a week or so ago with the second emergency brake with ZERO vehicles or, well, anything being closer than 100m away other than a lamp post about 20m from me. WTH! I really must get my dash cam refitted so I can use the recordings as evidence. I love my Trophy, no range anxiety, quiet, serene driving but utterly lacking in common sense settings. So frustrating.Yes it is annoying - the requirement comes from NCAP (to default to all assistance systems on each time in order to get a high safety rating). The logic is that the car can't know who will drive it next and that person may expect the assistance systems to be on, so we'd better default to all on.
MG have not implemented a convenient way to switch back off again - eg a select-user switch which cycles through custom user profiles.
It's the biggest gripe people have, so hopefully they will make it easier - at a minimum be able to save these as part of 'custom' and a button click to switch to that.
