My experience of the MG speed sign recognition is not a good one, as, using local knowledge and my own visual awareness, I know that the indicated limit on the screen is frequently wrong. I have a Garmin Sat Nav, which although not perfect, is more reliable and easier to update than the MG Sat...

As you will see from my attempts to download a viable map udate, the download can be obtained from either the 'iov' website or 'mgmotor.eu.' There are only basic instructions about the process required to input the map update to your MG. There is no information for those who use Carplay, Android...

The zip file from 'iov' was extracted to a folder on my PC hard drive and then copied to my KINGSTON USB stick. The infotainment system recognised the USB map files and commenced loading. As you will know, this process takes a long time. Sadly, towards the end of the process, the caption said...

My MG4 Trophy was 1st registered in March 2023 and still has the original Sat Nav Maps. Version: HERE_EU_22Q1 2202204172242. I have purchased a new Sandisk 128GB USB memory stick which has been formatted to exFAT. Using my own MG4 VIN number, I visited the designated sat nav download site –...

The MG4 was collected on 9 January 2025, having had the CCU replaced and after two home charging sessions it has dutifully charged to 80% without further issues. I have also ascertained from Frasers of Falkirk theat the only intervention which they made to the car was the replacement of the CCU...

UPDATE. The failure to charge problem appears to have been solved. The MG 4 was delivered to Frasers of Falkirk on 9 December 2024 and during the remainder of the month, no fault finding feedback was provided to me. On Monday 6 January 2025 at 11am I visited Frasers of Falkirk and walked into...

Thanks again for all the advice which seems to confirm that the charging fault lies within the car and there is a high probability that the CCU may be the source of the problem. I will keep you all updated. Happy New Year to Everyone!

I am very appreciative of the advice being offered, but as an ordinary mortal member I cannot match the depth of technical knowledge held by some members. My MG4 does not have a rear wiper and I take it that CCU means Combined Charging Unit and EVSE stands for Elelectrica Vehicle Supply...

The Zappi and Intelligent Go worked well for some considerable time, delivering 7 kWh, before the fault occurred.

The car is unfortunately at the dealership which is closed until 6 January. They are the 'experts!' I know that their technicians have been carrying out some testing on the car as I have received by text and email security alarm warnings concerning brake and airbag interference. I appreciate the...

I have not tried a granny charger as Octopus Go was working properly and then stopped charging. As the car is not now in my possession, I cannot try a granny charger. In any case, I want to re-establish proper 7 kW charging at a reasonable cost.

I have not tried to charge the EV without using the Octopus Intelligent Go system Octopus have diagnosed the issue as being within the EV itself and this has been supported by Myenergi. The Dealership have not actullay said that there is an issue but as they return from their festive break on 6...

I have an MG4 Trophy Long Range, purchased in April 2023. The car is mainly used for short journeys and is charged at home using my Zappi 2.1 charger from my Intelligent Go account with Octopus Energy. With Intelligent Go, the charging schedules are created automatically via the wi-fi link...

I'm sorry that most of our members appear to have missed the point. Having a 3 phase cable is no doubt useful as it can still be used to charge from a single phase charger. The article in - EV Charging Cables & Connectors For Electric Cars | EVCables.co.uk clearly shows that the cable will work...

Charging cables appear to be a hot topic. A word of caution about purchasing a 3 phase charging cable as it may not deliver the charge you expected from a single phase supply. The following information was seen on: https://evcables.co.uk/products/three-phase-type-2-to-type-2-ev-charging-cable...
