    Lane Keep Assist feature

    Well, been driving Trophy now for two weeks since it was back to dealers for lka software update after written complaint to MG. I've kept it on all this time. Definitely not as severe as before but still an unessary distraction I could do without but I suppose I can live with it. Will still be...

    Merged thread: Automatic Emergency Braking activating for no reason

    I usually always turn AEB off but don't bother for short journeys. Happened to me a couple of times needlessly. Last time I was only doing about 5-10mph and left me and passenger stunned for a few seconds having been thrown forward in seat belts before realising what happened and then having to...

    HV battery shut off every time I try to charge!

    Funny you should mention this. My Trophy was in for LKA update last week (made little difference but that's another thread). I've only charged it once since then but when charging activated the car automatically locked and charging stopped. I usually lock car manually after charging starts...

    12 volt battery charging

    Yes, I can see through my app what the voltage is. At the moment it's at 12.7v. I've never seen it above this unless the main battery is being charged when it jumps to about 13.8v and drops back to 12.7 once charging complete. The lowest it seems to go is 12.3v and then when I check it a few...

    SOS system not working

    I accidentally pressed it once in a "what does this button do?" moment. Nothing happened.

    Software updates

    I wrote to MG customer services a few weeks ago stating I was happy with car (March 2023 Trophy) other than dangerous lka whichever renders car undriveable and potentially deadly if not switched off. Following this they told me to book it into local dealer for update. I've another 2 weeks to...

    Dead car

    Hos much charge was left in your HV battery? Its discussed on another thread that it will not charge 12v battery if HV battery is below certain level of charge.

    Help! LKA - can’t turn off - at all!

    The LKA on my 3 month old Trophy is not in any way effected by lights going off and on or the state of infotainment screen. I turn LKA off on all but very short journeys.

    Basic charging.

    I've found with the car unlocked charging will start automatically. If you lock the car and then start charging I have to authorise charging via the ISmart app and enter my unlock pin.

    Would you recommend?

    I've owned a honda civic 2.2 diesel from new since 2007. Loved it and still have it sittng I driveway despite buying a Trophy 3 months ago. More efficient on long trips especially south od border. Cost me at most 15p per mile ro run tops just considering fuel. If you have a home charger and...

    Amazon music

    Your phone has to have previously been paired with your Samsung so it shows in the list of devices. Settings-Lock Screen-Smart Lock-Enter Pin-Trusted Devices-MG It may vary slightly from Samsung to Samsung but this was the setting that solved all my Android Auto problems. I don't bother with the...

    Lane Keep Assist feature

    You might have a car with a softer version if lka which apparently exists now. If you get the full blown lka you will know all about it. It's not just a gentle nudge or rumble but a full steering wheel lock in a direction you don't want to go in and no amount of force exerted by you on steering...

    Lane Keep Assist feature

    So, basically, as per my experience, this is almost every road in Scotland and be prepared to be killed by the car on such roads. Especially when damp. Last week I wrote to MG UK about this and got standard fob off, however it is now going back to dealers in 4 weeks as they told me there may be...

    Amazon music

    I was really frustrated with Android Auto initially as it kept dropping out and not responding to voice commands. There are a lot of settings in a sumsung phone that need to be enabled. One I set is a routine to automatically turn on Spotify, or in your case Amazon Music when connected to MG...

    Help! LKA - can’t turn off - at all!

    When I learned to drive I used to indicate all all the time until I did an advanced driving course and had this habit hammered out of me. A driver should be fully aware of all vehicles, pedestrians and other hazards and only I indicate when doing so would benefit another person was what I was...

    12 volt battery charging

    I've found that when my battery drops to 12.3v it then takes a charge from hv battery up to about 12.6v. I've never had a problem with flat battery (yet) but a lot of owners on here have. I believe it doesn't do this with a low SOC but shouldn't be an issue at 60%. I take car was locked and...

    Mg4 Veers to the left

    Welcome to the crazy world of the MG4. Just wait till it suddenly veers to the right into path of oncoming vehicle or the steering wheel momentarily locks as you turn into a corner. This would have been hidden from you when you took it for a test drive. Wait till it rains, its far worse. There...

    Boot bike rack - recommendations

    I've removed false floor along with polystyrene surrounding pump and sealant and replaced with plastic boot liner. Loads more space. Firstly remove front wheels from bikes. Place largest bike front forwards lying on lhs with right pedal in down position. Cover with old sheet or blanket to...

    Boot bike rack - recommendations

    When I was looking at new cars one of my prerequisites was that it could take two adult mountain bikes in rear with seats folded down. The MG4 can do this no problem and I regularly use it for this. So I would only need a bike rack if I was carrying luggage as well or required space for rear...
