Ok, I will contact the Dealer as well as MG, for all my issues, hopefully between the two of them all my problems will go away.....

How is this going? I am looking at purchasing one in coming days based on your review. Cheers

Blank CarPlay screen is a major issue for me, related to my general issues of cables, dongles, USB C plug connectivity issues since new car pick up in January. I am now contacting MG to see if it is a bigger problem, or if it is me (my tech I am using).

"Once I used a short 50cm genuine Apple cable, made sure the phone port was clean and did not plug in until the centre screen had completed then it's worked well for me. But mine is a iPhone 11 with the lightning cable, not the USB-C." I have tried absolutely everything over the past 5...

Would love to hear how this goes. I bought an Amazon version (my post below) and I’ve had connectivity issues, but no different connectivity issues than connecting via cable direct to phone.

Jumping in! Purchased my 2023 MG4 Essence 64, metallic black, in January 2024. In love. Some problems with tech I am going to manage this week with MG, because I’ve troubleshooted for almost 5 months and I can’t resolve: My iPhone 15 doesn’t charge on wireless charger. Nor does my kids phones...

Hey all! I haven’t had a problem with my Apple CarPlay until the last couple of weeks. When I connect the lightning charger to the port, it says “USB disk identification failure”. I have tried multiple different phones and cables but each time it says the same thing. Do I have to get a new USB...

Thanks! Apple connection instructions are here: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT211234 But it says “make sure your car is compatible” Googling compatibility is a nightmare. No matches for MG. I suspect MG is simply not compatible with Apple Car Key (Wallet).

Yes, first “generic” cable didn’t work. Purchased super fast data cable. I’ll keep looking for other threads. So far I’ve just seen “how to connect” not data presentation issues… I have ordered a CarPlay dongle as the cable is just silly in my opinion. Perhaps that changes thing (to normal or...

Hello. Not sure of version. The car is a week old, 2023 model MG4 Essence, and the tech was “updated” as part of delivery. I don’t have easy access to another car that has CarPlay. I suppose I can drive to MG and test there. But no, haven’t tried alternate cars. All obvious checks have been...

Fourth query for today. Aus MG4 Essence I have connected my iPhone 15 via CarPlay. Google Maps- the car doesn’t seem to recognise or download the map. All I see is the single road I’m on. I have 4-5 bars of 5G, which the car shows. It either doesn’t load at all, or loads after many minutes...

Third question for the day: Purchased new Aus MG4 Essence, installed iSMART app. Noting poor reviews of the app, but wanting to be able to “remotely” monitor charge (on/off and %)… Does the phone Bluetooth need to be connected to the car obtain vehicle Status? Ie do I need to be within...

Second post for today, busy troubleshooting various tech issues on my new Aus MG4 Essence; MG music app not connecting- sometimes… Driving along, pressed Music app button, only options were: 1. BT Music 2. Online Music and 3. USB Music All radio stations are programmed including digital...

I’ve purchased an MG4 Essence from Perth, Aus. Apart from continuing to troubleshoot multiple tech issues, one question I had, which Google doesn’t answer is: Is the Aus MG4 Essence compatible with Apple Wallet for the Digital Key? This is my Plan B as the iSMART app is 2 star at most and...
