    New Owner Cruise Control on MG4 Trophy LR

    On the steering wheel press the middle button with the "steering wheel" icon on it. Then use the toggle switch up and down to adjust the speed. (Snap) (Snap) And (snap) again :ROFLMAO:

    Replacement Tyre suggestions?

    I've done over 30,000kms now and am thinking about what tyres to replace the original Bridgestone Turanza T005 that our "Long Range 77" (aka Trophy ER) came with. My primary concern is energy efficiency. This is our "long distance trips" car and so distance on a charge is the key metric. Yes I...

    Wish list of MG4 improvements

    True, neither of which are of interest to me. Anyway, that's what works for me. YMMV ;)

    AA flickering problem

    My concern would be that it is a specific hardware "fault" in your Pixel and that a software reset wouldn't correct the issue :cry: Dicky USB C port in particular. Have you a "air blaster" spray can? Maybe give the USB port a good blast of air...

    Wish list of MG4 improvements

    I assign the AirCon to the right hand "star" button on the steering wheel. This pops up an AirCon interface overlay even when AA is running. Does that work for your version of the car's software?

    What car did your MG4 replace?

    We had an MY20 VW Polo (3 cyl 1 litre) due for replacement in October '24. Been wanting an EV for quite a while and had extended test driven a Polestar 2 by hiring them a couple of times and confirmed they'd work for our country trips in Australia. Ended up with the MG4 "77" Essence aka luxury...

    AA flickering problem

    My Pixel 9 pro is working fine and I have the latest version afaik. I use mine via a wireless dongle in the USB A port.

    MG4 in Australia

    So you get the pull down menu but not the ELK option? Most strange!

    Tried my V2L Adapter today ...

    Yes, that is the only way you can use it. You already need an "off grid capable" wired battery system powering your home that allows a "220v generator" to top up the battery. Sort of begs the question of why? I guess there are a very few scenarios where the home battery was low and topping it...

    Will upgrade all speakers and add a sub

    So rather than doing the front door bass/midrange drivers next I've actually done the rear door speakers replacing them with the full range coaxial JBL Stage2 624. I generally followed Alan's Youtube video guide (above). I did buy some speaker mounts but they don't help. Just cut out the old...

    Tried my V2L Adapter today ...

    That is a much more involved journey. Like, really really more involved ;)

    MG4 in Australia

    I've had the "pull down" menu since we bought our MG4s in October and November last year. @wattmatters You need to have the infotainment screen on rather than Android Auto or Car play displaying and then swipe from about 3/4 to the right down. An overlay menu will pop up that allows you to...

    Reversing camera show distance

    Yep, same.

    IM6 or Model Y?

    Nik, If you're used to the sophistication of Tesla's software I think you would get a rude shock from MGs. The one area Tesla has it all over the Chinese alternatives is the software IMHO. I'm not particularly fussed myself as I just use Android Auto as I've used it in every car I've had for the...

    Equalisation charge - NMC battery

    Well I have done quite a bit of research both before purchasing our MG4s and since. Balancing did not come up as a significant determinant to long term battery health. Not regularly charging past 80% and using DC fast charging only when necessary were the main recommendations. I got Gemini to...

    Equalisation charge - NMC battery

    Hi @Data , When responding to a comment re balance charging at 100% You said I expressed my scepticism re the effect on SOH. As noted an MG4 with NMC 77kWh battery. I'm dubious because I've not seen any technical analysis that says balance charging is required to maintain the long term...

    Equalisation charge - NMC battery

    Really? I must admit I am very dubious about such a claim You are asserting that the SOH of the battery after say 3 years and 60,000 KMs is dependant on how regularly you perform balance charging. Are there any studies or even theoretical papers that support such an assertion? You are...

    Equalisation charge - NMC battery

    23 MG4 Essence LR "77" (= UK ER) with the 77kWh NMC here. Exactly the same for me. You can see the trickle charging happen in both the Tesla App for my Wall Charger & the iSmart app for the car. What I don't get is why people are getting so stressed about it. Just charge your car when you...
