    Zap-Map and Sat Nav

    Use what looks like the orange right turn button to drop out to maps, it's already set the charger as your destination within Google Maps for instance and has begun the navigation there. I must admit I cancelled my ZapMap premium within the seven days as I couldn't see it did anything for me -...

    Android Auto - no voice guidance from Google Maps on top of DAB / FM radio

    When the audio source is RADIO AND AA is active AND I'm using Google maps for navigation AND G/Maps is UNMUTED AND the VOICE GUIDANCE volume is set to max, I don't hear any directions played over the top of the radio. When Google would be speaking the radio volume noticeably dips but there is no...

    Android auto not working well

    I've had very few issues with AA, works very well with an AA wireless dongle or cable. only time it black screened for us was once when we messed arround with our two phones similar to siteguru's description, I'll note the long press on home to restart the head unit in future. However, what I...

    MG4 Lane keep assist

    I've always asserted that LKA on our MG4 stays off as other than day 1, I've never had a peep from it and never set it / turned it off - it just doesn't feature in our driving of the car. I've always been a little confused that there is often and inactive (not green) steering wheel in the top...

    Camden grey or Dynamic red?

    I really wanted to order Red having dribbled over one in the showroom, I think the back accents at the bottom of the door and elsewhere contrast nicely with the red whereas the grey can look simply all black or grey in all but sunlight. Unfortunately, logic made me go for white as we are very...

    MG4 coming 2 days time

    I've not bought one as yet but if / when then I have my eye on this one, there may be other recommendations from experience in these pages. Newton Abbot from where you are, I'd recommend Mollies Diner J17 M5 and Exeter Moto services J30 and you'll arrive with a good surplus. Two excellent fast...

    MG4 coming 2 days time

    You could consider a 'Granny' charger / cable whilst waiting for your wall charger. I'd wait for the car to arrive though just in case it comes with one although my SE came with a type 2. They are a useful standby for visiting and just in case. Merry Christmas

    Positive Vibes for the MG4

    Positive Vibes. As our first EV, it's great, it's a big adventure. Here's one I've not seen mentioned much, it's very predictable for range on a long journey. We're quickly overcome any anxiety of driving well beyond range, 400 miles no problem. Even our SE charges quickly on a GOOD rapid...

    SE Android Auto with Google Maps too bright at night - fixed

    Thanks, I've edited my post for greater clarity - I hope. The infotainment screen settings stay in daytime brightness & Bright / Light mode but it is Android Auto & Google Maps that now switch to NIGHT mode by flicking the lights off and on.

    SE Android Auto with Google Maps too bright at night - fixed

    I've searched for this so apologies if it's in another thread but I couldn't find reference to this particular Android Auto & Google Maps issue on the MG4. I'll often use AA at night in the totally unlit Devon lanes and it will often be in Day mode, white background, and is frankly dangerous...

    MG4 Carlinkit

    Excellent tip, I think I'll order one, sounds like the swapping between partners phones is ideal. This is just the sort of tip I joined this forum for... BTW, I've had only the briefest of looks but I'm sure there is a thin Qi pad out there that will slip under the rubber phone mat to give...

    Be Aware - Wiper Arms!

    Melanie, A very useful post, thank you, just gone and tried the wiper service position and now I know. As others have said many other cars suffer this 'feature' - pedestrian collision rules I'd imagine, our Mini Cooper was just the same. Good post, the sort I joined this forum for!! I'm...

    I smart app

    Perhaps I started with an earlier version than 1.1.7 then as I know I've slid the percentage up and down. It's not the end of the world, I just came across a situation where I would have used it recently. Think I'll have to accept its now not an SE feature. Did check for version release notes...

    I smart app

    Anyone found the ability to set the target charge level in the App seems to have gone or do I just have Fat Fingers? I know I've set this in here before and almost certainly on 1.1.7, can't say for sure but I think the update to 1.1.8 maybe stopped it and I've just gone to 1.1.9 this morning and...

    MG4 Should I get one? What’s the consensus from owners and those waiting?

    A number of people are well and truly wound up by the subject, but honestly, should it sway your decision? In isolation - NO. I've been under mine and with practical knowledge it is nothing that I'll fret about. If MG come up with a modified one would I like it for free, yes please, otherwise as...

    Keyless start? Anyone got it working?

    At the risk of being shouted down for getting the wrong end of the stick and for clarity of anyone reading this thread who is yet to be the keeper of an MG4. I think I'd class this feature as a useful extra but not a substitute to the regular key - useful especially if the key was elsewhere and...

    Smart peripherals

    Confirmed, also before forcing an update from 1.1.7 to 8 Android, the red overheating messages were in the Charging Management screen but had gone post upgrade, maybe that's fixed as well?

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    Car collected new 31st Oct, noticed oil leak after nearly two weeks and 600 miles. Dealer advised not to drive the 35 miles to them but call the AA (MG Assist). Very lucky to have a proactive old hand turn up. Jacked the car and removed NSR wheel, took the filler plug out of the reduction drive...
