    Digital key saved the day

    Just tested on my Trophy LR and it unlocks and starts. I do get a message stating it is only valid for 120s so reluctant to take for a drive using phine only.

    MG4 service plan

    That's a good deal. Certainly beats my £900 quote for three years servicing from Arnold Clark.

    MG4 service plan

    https://www.mg.co.uk/roadside-assistance Yes. After 12 months if you take out a service plan your cover will continue. I did not take out a service plan as my dealer wanted £300/year.

    Software fixes - Current status ?

    Yea it was def off. At the time I was going round a sweeping right hand bend on motorway flyover. The adaptive part of ACC was set to longest distance. My theory is that the radar detected the barrier as the car would be pointing towards it and initiated the braking.

    Software fixes - Current status ?

    I had ACC set to 55mph. Car in front was about 100 metres away. Suddenly braked very sharply down to 40mph and screen flashed a red warning message that I didn't have time to read due to panic. This wasn't gradual braking.....it was emergency.!!! It's staying off for now. All driving aids are...

    This will not help the brand one bit

    Mmmmm...if I went to pick up a new car and observed it had "two massive dents" on it I would not be accepting it at all and would demand a new one.

    Software fixes - Current status ?

    Had my Trophy for 5 weeks and has R30. A must to turn off LKA and Front Collision Assist on any journeys over 30mph. Be aware they will re-activate if drivers door opened. Tried ACC for first time a couple of days ago on clear motorway and after 5 minutes was almost thrown through windscreen...

    MG4 LKA/ELK is also potentially a get of jail free card for someone on a dangerous driving charge. "Well your honour, I attempted to pass the cyclist affording plenty if safe space but as I did so the car took control of the steering wheel and drove straight into the bike!!!" It's only a matter...

    Lane Keep Assist feature

    ???So from the small print it's basically an aid to take out as many cyclists and horses as you can. What do you get the most points for? If only it were as simple as pressing a steering wheel button on the MG4.

    MG4 service plan

    Nothing as long as you get your ev serviced at prescribed intervals by an approved garage to keep up warranty. It doesn't have to be a MG dealer. We get one year full AA breakdown with new car and as you said after that it is quite cheap as a bolt on breakdown cover to an insurance policy and...

    MG4 service plan

    Yes parts have to be approved MG however an approved EV back street garage can still service the car and keep the warranty up as long as approved parts are used. There aren't many parts required anyway. I believe first service is a pollen filter replacement (MG Filter mind which i think is about...

    Lane Keep Assist feature

    Hopefully only a matter of time until someone comes up with a hack to turn it off permanently. From reading this thread I see some aren't really troubled by it. I think it may depend on where you drive. Most of my driving is on A and B class rural roads, 60 mph limit, one lane each direction...

    Completely dead this morning

    I agree. My 2007 Honda Civic, (owned since new for 16 years now), original battery lasted 10 years. In the six years since expiring I am now on my third battery. I have a golf trolly leisure battery that must be about 15 years old and still good.

    Can I record the camera feed?

    I asked this of my dealer when i picked up my MG4 recently. I was aware that Teslas record footage from their cameras and had seen some on YouTube of persons vandalising Teslas while parked. How hard would have been to add in the ability to record footage from all cameras onto an sd card. Would...

    Outside air temperature and MG 4

    From recollecrion it appears top right hand corner on infotainment screen next to telecoms icon. It is quite small and hard to read. Once android auto screen comes on it vanishes.

    Lane Keep Assist feature

    I think I will consult the dealer on this. Might be good to hear from anyone who has taken a demonstrator our for a test drive in recent weeks. If they experience the severity of lka that I experience every few minutes of careful driving on B roads there is no way these cars would sell.

    Lane Keep Assist feature

    Drove 10 miles on B class toads this morning that had been salted overnight due to freezing temps. Forgot to turn lka off and had a real white knuckle ride as car was reacting to the various lines that the drying up salt was leaving. Anyway, just realised that before placing my order in...

    Is the camera you refer to dedicated to LKA. If so what would happen if it was covered up?

    Lane Keep Assist feature

    I can just about handle the gentle corrections except for going round a sweeping corner at 50mph which is scary, but sometimes the corrections are quite violent on the same setting.

    Lane Keep Assist feature

    Had car for one week and been for a few drives on B class roads. I'm struggling to relax at the wheel. In my previous car I would cruise resting arm on door with fingers lightly controlling steering. Not any more. Two hands on wheel at all times ready to fight sudden unexpected tugs on wheel...
