    Charging Flap / Door not opening

    I bought a cover from Amazon. It has a magnet loop inside one end seam and a tie at the other. In an emergency (and it's not windy) cling film will do. I read somewhere that unlocking whilst attempting to open the flap can work after a few goes.

    strange failure to go into ready

    Did you put your seat belt back on again when you sat down again? Sometimes if I fail to do so when moving a little way the car allows me but other times it will not let me go into drive/reverse. If that's not the problem you could try powering down the car through the info screen and then...

    Merged thread: Automatic Emergency Braking activating for no reason

    When I bought my Trophy in 2023 I had a couple of emergency stops whilst turning right. I set the sensitivity to medium and had no problems from then on. But since the SC077 update for LKA I've left the sensitivity at high because I found the car would no longer alert on medium where it used to...

    Yes, every EV should have a window smasher and a battery booster. Mine are in the centre console.

    Thank you for providing all this information and good luck with your dealer. What is happening is not the correct behaviour; it does not happen with my Trophy. As @MG Clive states the car should not lock itself once a door has been opened and that includes the boot. In respect of the trial in...

    Not that I can remember but that's no guarantee.

    iSmart Update to 3.0

    The heating/cooling is activated when the required pin is entered, it's just that there is this strange text underneath the 'Please Enter Security Code' text when the code is required. Could you post a picture of what you get when you are asked to enter the code?

    @Kithmo, do you not get one if the messages @Susanna and I have posted when you start the AC and/or seat heating?

    Yes, @flawia, that is the information I sought. R30 is an old version, my Trophy is at R33, bought April 2023, and there are updates to 40, 59 and 63, each with their foibles. So a few questions to see if who carried out the car's services carried out the mandatory software updates. When the...

    @flawia, could you please do one more trial, if you have not done it, and this time just open and close the boot without putting the key in. This will confirm or reject the need for the key to be present in the car for the car to lock and may reveal that open/closing any door causes the car to...

    Yes, it did not lock. Corrected in post.

    Well I left the key in the boot for 5 minutes and the car didn't lock though I heard a number of relays clicking. So @flawia's car has a problem.

    Don't Buy

    I think you are being hard on the MG4 particularly as you say you only had minor problems. My local newspaper (Sheffield Telegraph) had a full page spread reporting the travails of a person who leased a £90,000 electric Porsche Taycan and it had been in the garage for repairs for a total of 8...

    Repeated experiment. Came back from shopping and left car unlocked. When DRLs switched off placed keyfob in my wife's handbag next to phone (small handbag), opened boot, placed handbag in boot and closed it. No response from car. @flawia, how long after you closed the boot did the car lock? I...

    Locked out

    @flawia, I carried out your procedure on my 23 reg Trophy and had to wait 30 minutes before the DRLs went out. Then I just opened and closed the boot - nothing happened. I then went indoors and retrieved the key from its Faraday pouch, opened the boot and put the key in and closed the boot...

    @flawia, how long did you wait before the DRLs went out? With my Trophy the rear lights go out after a little while but the DRLs stay on for at least 12 minutes. The only time I can get all the lights out is to lock the car, unlock it and open/close a door/boot and then wait. If I then...

    The key must be in the car to drive so there must be something special if, as you say, the boot will pop open if the key inside the car. (Edit: I assume you mean it will still pop up when the handle is pressed?) Really, it is important to have reasonable access to the spare keyfob (regularly...

    The interesting thing here is that the @flawia says 'As soon as I closed the boot, the car locked itself...'. Normally that should not happen if the car had been in an unlocked state (by door button, keyfob or app). Of course, they may mean the boot became locked on closure because the presence...

    The seat heating section gives you a one press option to put the driver's seat to high heating by pressing the seat icon as well as better control of the seat heating. I think they just left the seat heating software in with the original HVAC software. Mind you, some people may need cabin and...
