    Which is best to use the built in MG Navigation or Android Auto

    I've found that Magic Earth is about the best for the MG3 with Android Auto, I also have Copilot, Sygic and TomTom because I can guarantee one of I them will not work, depending on where I am in this county or elsewhere in the world

    New MG HS self charging hybrid 2025

    You're right it was a PHEV! they totally misled me, which is par for the course, when we went to test drive the MG3 which we bought in September they had booked an MG4 for us. They are not a good dealer, I'm still waiting 3 weeks later for investigating a brake regeneration problem, they blame...

    New MG HS self charging hybrid 2025

    The UK dealers have demonstrators, I test drove it last week, very nice but no where near as fun or quick as my MG3 hybrid+. Huge car yet surprisingly small boot space to what you would expect, must be the batteries taking up the room. Also, I'm quite tall and sit further back from the steering...

    Which is best to use the built in MG Navigation or Android Auto

    Trouble us you need to have mobile data on with Google maps, plus as I have said already I don't trust Google with my data. I tried wireless Android auto but found that I still needed to use a cable to charge my phone on long routes so I stopped using it.

    Does Intelligent Speed Limiter (TSR) disable regeneration

    I have an update, I eventually got my car in to the local dealer on 5th December, I had to go out with the Master Technician to dhis him what was happening as he was looking at the wrong thing, he said he would have to ring MG technical and come back to me. I rang again today and was told they...

    MG3 Hybrid+ Wiki - Hints, Tips and Solutions

    More tips: Driving and brake regernation settings I was setting up the MG3 before setting off with Eco mode and 3rd position for Brake Regeneration, I have done this for a few months, but on a recent long trip I decided on my return journey to try not setting it and just use the default Normal...

    Which is best to use the built in MG Navigation or Android Auto

    Just changed my views on using the MG3 built in sat nav, the maps are way out of date. Just been to manchester and Liverpool city centres on a trip and it got lost several times, in the end I used Sygic and Magic Earth on my phone to get out of trouble. My preference now is to use Magic Earth...

    MG3 Hybrid A/C at extreme temp

    It is a real problem getting heating right. I agree with FromParis who said: Sometimes you pass from some cold air to hot air ... just adding +1°C, which is my experience. Having messed about with it extensively I have found that setting it at 24°C on Auto and closing the two centre vents (which...

    Braking

    Agree with everything said here. I did have a conversation with the sales guy at the local MG dealer yesterday who told me that the main problem is the rear brakes are used much less in braking and although they benefit from being used as suggsted in the posts, the rear discs develop circles of...

    MG3 Hybrid fuel cap is very difficult to open

    I'm sure others must be having this problem. My wife is unable to undo the fuel cap filler, even I struggle. I have tried tightening it by one click and then undoing it, not sure this makes any difference. I am currently looking into modding some sort of lever/spanner device so my wife can undo...

    Ismart problems

    That message from MG is complete rubbish. It's now November and according to them the SIM package should have reset but hasn't Did you get any more info about this problem? I have been playing with it and found (for me) a simple process is when you have left your car for some time, the deep...

    Controlling the heating system

    I have similar problems but it's still better to get in and out of our old Peugeot 207. I also have a C3 Picasso which is wonderful to get in and out of so I looked to change that for the ZS but like the MG3 it doesn't have the steering wheel adjustment in & out and the bigger HS that dies have...

    Does Intelligent Speed Limiter (TSR) disable regeneration

    Correction, I made an operator error, although I double checked the ISA was set, I didn't activate it on the steering wheel, so of course the regeneration still worked, but as soon as I activated it the regeneration disengages. So, I will book it into the dealer for them to look into it. Sorry...

    Controlling the heating system

    Yes, but none that explain this Hi Pine, You were on the money. I just got this reply from MG Custome5r Services: "In most modern cars, the fan speed control in Auto Mode is generally fully automatic, meaning that the system decides the appropriate fan speed (low, medium, or high) based on...
