    Android (non auto)???????

    My MOTO G4 (Android 14) works perfectly on my MG4 SE, but it must be unlocked when connecting the cable or the car won't register it.

    New MG4 Trophy LR Vehicle Control System Fault

    I had this same problem on my SE after using a home charger. Fault came and went just like yours. Cured by disconnecting the battery negative terminal for a while, then reconnecting (10mm spanner required). Various faults will show up when restarting but all will clear automatically. No...

    2nd service

    Re 2nd year service cost, I was quoted £199 by the supplying dealer. This included brake fluid change and key battery. I declined both, so the service has just cost me £105! Very happy with that. Blights Motors, Bideford, Devon

    Recommendation for MG4 EV servicing in Devon

    Towing mode is often recommended, but is everyone aware that the rear parking sensors will be disabled?

    Recommendation for MG4 EV servicing in Devon

    I bought my SE SR from Blights. On the plus side, they were the cheapest for the first year service, but don't have much of a clue about software updates. Last time there, I asked for the cruise control update (1MPH steps and no slow down on bends). They gave the car back with a patronising...

    WONT CHARGE!! Vehicle Control system fault

    Yes, I had exactly the same fault after charging at a PodPoint 7.2kW home charger. At first, the car wouldn't go, but after a while it relented. Worrying, because I had a 70 mile journey ahead of me in the dark. It got me home, but the "Vehicle Control System Fault" and others kept coming and...

    I'll check next time it happens and will post findings.

    MG4 randomly stops charging

    My SE SR stops charging randomly on the granny charger. Going into the charging screen, it says "Charging stopped - no obvious cause" Reported it to the dealer at last update visit, but still the same.

    Light sensitivity fixed following service

    Same here. They don't come on until it's too dark. Other makes of cars that I'm following all turn their lights on but not my SE SR. Like other systems, it works, but it's not clever enough.

    Custom Drive Mode - Pedal Force What's the difference?

    That's not my experience. The brakes are sharper and more powerful in sport mode, and my argument is why aren't they like that at all times in all modes. I can understand throttle response being selectable, but not the brakes.

    Custom Drive Mode - Pedal Force What's the difference?

    I don't think it's been mentioned that with the battery at or near 100% (SR), there is no regen braking, so the brake pedal requires more force. I always switch to sport mode which gives much better braking until regen starts as the battery runs down. I don't understand why the braking power...

    iSmart 2.0 app woes [merged - all discussion in here please]

    Since it "upgraded" to version 2.0.2, it won't work at all on my Android ORIO phone, despite it saying that it is compatible. Just get a black screen with a white bar at the top. All previous versions worked OK. Hoping that the next version will fix it, but I'm not holding my breath. Does...

    MG4 Software Update Thread

    Re SE update R33. Many improvements and fixes over R13 and R16, but some bugs remain, and a new one has appeared. On reducing the volume by holding the right joystick down then releasing, the volume continued to zero all by itself and wouldn't go back up. Annoying, but a reboot fixed it. A...

    MG iSmart 2.0 [merged]

    Exactly the same issue. Android 8 phone that runs everything else fine. Version 2.1 ran OK, but 2.2 won't start - just a black screen. Tried all the usual fixes - no joy. Have to wait for 2.3 to see if they've fixed it. Certainly not going to buy a new phone just for this app!

    No, but it now defaults to LOW which is a bit less aggressive.

    MG4 SE - Infotainment version updated today (to R110033)

    I've just had the infotainment updated to R33 on my phase 1 SE. Some improvements including outside temp back, but Android Auto no longer works - was perfectly OK before. Same phone and cable, and also tried 6 other cables! Phone says it's connected but the car doesn't recognise it. Any...
