I had my FICM (infotainment control module) replaced a few months back and this seems to have coincided with my 360 camera being a bit rubbish since - does anyone know if the calibration is stored in there and the dealer didn't bother to calibrate the camera?? It certainly used to be better...

what I don't get about this security issue is the star button A/C mini menu is allowed to draw over AA - not sure how that is different to the pull down menu?? Maybe its AA stops the swipe gesture being recognised by the MG software?

I had a play with the new version yesterday and LKA was certainly less intrusive (although I've never found it bad enough to turn off every drive), almost not noticeable but it did bring the car back in lane as I drifted - I'm not sure if it will be enough to correct a more significant drift...

My saga continues, subsequent updates have failed to work so they are going to have to send the screen off to MG for reflashing/replacement - could be up to 2 weeks! Absolutely bizarre as they successfully updated it at service and all was working well, but they insist it is the wrong version o_O

I'm currently in a courtesy car MG4 from the dealer and BT connects every time and I never manually paired it with this car :ROFLMAO: :unsure: I can't remember if this was after I plugged in to Android Auto - I think some kind of automatic pairing happens then? I've only plugged AA in once...

Just back from the dealers in a loan MG4 because they couldn't get my car to update to the right version again! It updates, presumably via SIPS, but doesn't load on the expected version. They won't tell me what exactly it does load only the FICM version isn't right (although FICM MPU/MCU look...

and the option you want is always seems to be missing the first time through the sources - but next time through its there :ROFLMAO:

Are you using the SAIC_iSmart_API? I tried it a while ago and that also seems to read cached data from the server most of the time unless the car is started, but there is a full refresh which defaults to once a day. It would be interesting to know if it keeps the car communication alive for a...

So I had a call from the dealer that did my service saying they'd had word from MG now that I need to take it back in for a software update - they couldn't tell me exactly what would be updated, only FICM needs updating, but they updated that from R46 to R59 at the service and I'm pretty sure...

hopefully they'll fix it soon - you'd hope :ROFLMAO: they have systems that alert them to servers down, where's the resilience?? I could connect around 7pm last night, but not since 10pm.

I believe this is cooler air from elsewhere in the car moving (or maybe you moving into it) as you change direction?

I had some updates just before Christmas and the first thing I noticed was what seemed like gentler application of regen both when taking my foot off the accelerator and when ACC was in control - maybe some smoothing on the throttle signal??

app usually works pretty well for me, just timing out at the moment though when I want to warm the car grrr

yeah supposedly a limitation of the underlying Android version won't let the pull down menus work over the top of AA from R59 onwards - although the temp widget that pops up if you have a star button set to HVAC does appear over the top :rolleyes:

I guess you have either used up the 1Gb data allowance or you are on R59 which has a broken WiFi hotspot
