    MG4 internet, data limits

    This issue described throughout this thread has nothing to do with ismart. This should continue to work even if the hotspot doesn't.

    Heat pumps in the MG4

    It doesn't have to be permanently at 60, just reach that temperature and remain there for a period, every now and then. Neither of these periods I will pretend to know without googling.

    MG4 internet, data limits

    I got this response from MG Customer Service to my email asking for any documentation that describes what the hotspot allowance is: Not quite what I asked for, but I guess that's about as "official" as it gets?

    MG4 Locked while Charging

    Yes. If you unlock the vehicle, this includes the charge port. I didn’t think that was contentious. See my previous post on this topic in this thread.

    Seeking Regen and AC Recommendations for New Owner

    Realistically you need to work these all out for yourself. Everyone has different preferences and will prefer things to work in different ways. The way I set the car varies from day to day depending on my mood and what my planned journey is. There is no right answer. Try it out for yourself in...

    Charging rate drop to 2.7kw permanently

    On the infotainment, tap the section that has the charging info (the one that permanently says "plug in the charging cable", or similar). At the bottom is a drop-down box that can have various options (3A, 8A, 16A, etc) selected. Set this to "AC Current". Try again.

    MG4 internet, data limits

    I have just fired off an email to MGUK Customer Services asking for clarification and a pointer to documentation on what the provided service is, and thought I'd do a bit of googling. Found this. Made me laugh...

    MG iSMART app / car connectivity

    When you say “app error” - what did you do before this error popped up? What was the error? Are you certain you’re using the Bluetooth / digital key functionality and not the other remote lock/unlock? These are the remote unlock/lock buttons; The digital key functionality is in the digital...

    MG4 Locked while Charging

    See my previous post on this topic where I discuss DC vs AC charging.

    MG iSMART app / car connectivity

    I use the Bluetooth key regularly and it works just fine. Perhaps if you explain what problems you had, it might be useful to other people.

    MG4 internet, data limits

    I have almost 100% certainty that there are not two eSIM modules. Why? They’re expensive - well let’s just say that all hardware has a cost - and two modules means two sets of connectivity to pay for (each connection incurs a monthly cost!) and two sets of hardware to maintain. I work for a...

    MG4 Locked while Charging

    The charging port locks automatically when a cable is inserted. This has nothing to do with the rest of the vehicle’s lock condition. If you unlock the car it unlocks the charge port.

    Stupid, stupid, stupid

    The MG4 bongs also but it’s THE SAME BONG that everything else uses. It’s so irritating. So easy to miss.

    MG4 Locked while Charging

    Cable locking on Type2/AC charging is controlled by the vehicle, so unlocking the vehicle unlocks the charge port and charging MUST pause else there’s a chance you could remove the cable while current is flowing. On rapid / DC, cable locking is controlled by the charger.

    MG4 internet, data limits

    So I did some experimentation this evening. I set a roughly 1GB audiobook to download over the hotspot when I left home having not used the hotspot at all since the first of the month. About 500MB in, the download stopped and the data traffic circle turned grey. So a 1Gb limit seems like it...

    Driving MG4 in France

    I use Fastned autocharge occasionally (not many round my way) but as far as I am concerned it's basically black magic :cool:

    Bluetooth phone calls muted

    On more recent versions of software you can access various volume settings via the drop-down menu when you drag down from the top left or top right of the screen - NOT the climate control drop-down. If you can't access that, the various volume options can be set in the Settings menu somewhere...
