Another long trip to Spain completed in the MG4. Daily we did 400-500km. The MG4 was faultless but I wanted to focus upon ABRP via Apple CarPlay and it’s link with OBD data (I use the OBDLink CX). There are a few things that ABRP could and should improve :-
The charging stations which appear...
So, we experienced a series of alerts, one after the other as we were driving to Spain for Xmas; this ceased after I stopped; locked the car and re-booted. The problem occurred again in pitch black with multiple alerts.
I took the car to the MG dealer today. They said that they had NEVER, EVER...
Our car has now done just over 5000 km since new just over 2 months ago. In that time both I and my wife have experienced an increasing frequency of error messages with the consequential close down of certain functionality such as auto high beam; speed limit sensor and possibly other functions...
Hello all,
I have created a USB (64GB) USB disk in which I have multiple folder in which there are sub folders and then the folders containing the albums (MP3s). I have found that only four of the seven folders will display and hence able to be selected. I tried reducing the number of folders to...
I say "annoying" because, initially, it seems quite a cool capability. However, after some 4,500km I find that it has become annoying when indicating left or right (at very low speed or stationary). I know that I can turn off the triggering of the side cameras but, ideally, I would like to be...
So, for Christmas, I bought my wife a (not cheap!) CD Player with output as FM or BT. The FM is "OK" but interference is inevitable. So I want to use Bluetooth. However, despite easily connecting to the car's BT, it displays a message that it is unable to play from this device. I understand that...
The thing about owning an EV is that you learn fast and most via the hard way ! People who don't own EVs waffle on about range anxiety. However this is not the issue at all, it is charger anxiety ! Perhaps not where we live in SW France where there are many EV charging points where we have not...
More as a comment because when we took delivery of the MG4 64 kWh is was at 100% and showed 420 km. Now, 2,500km later and charging to 100% (prior to a long journey tomorrow) it's risen to 449 km. Maybe not a large difference but I am wondering whether the MG 4 is building up a picture of our...
We are about to set off for Madrid in our new MG 4 Luxury 64kWh; around 500 miles. I am obviously still learning and this forum is fantastic at imparting loads of hints and tips. So thank you !
I am prepared to use ECO Mode and also set ECO in the settings if it really makes a difference...
The time of day is clearly shown on the driver's screen but my wife finds it annoying that she cannot see the time at a glance from the passenger's seat. (We had the same problem with our previous Audi Q3 !). I see in the multiple user options that the Clock can be shown. Indeed it appears to be...
After almost 2,000km in our new MG4, I have now realised that turning off a number of the "safety" features is best for me. One of them is lane departure assist. However, I have noticed that, even if I turn OFF LDA prior to my moving, (and the blue "on" marker turns to grey), LDA will appear as...
I have only done 1500km in my new MG4 and I am still learning. I had mentally decided that it was best to restrict all charging to 80% and operate within the 20%-80% range. However, an EV dealer (not MG) suggested that it was essential to charge to 100% occasionally. That was to ensure all the...
Hello all,
Well I did my research and OBDLink CX is definitely listed as compatible with my new MG4. So it arrived today and I fitted it (easy) and soon I was getting live data to ABRP.
The issue is when I came to lock the car and return to the house, the ALARM went off.
The only way I could...
Hello all,
Having only owned a MG4 Luxury for one week and 300km, I am still learning the array of settings. One thing that is puzzling me is that the settings I change (eg Drive Lane Assist and Speed Limit Warning) appear to reset themselves as does the ECO mode reset to NORMAL when I next go...
I was very pleased to see that I could login to my Amazon account and access my Amazon music subscription! However, to play any music of my choice requires manually entering the artist and then selecting the album / song etc. Is there a way that I can issue a voice command (my iPhone uses SIRI)...
Hello all,
When we collected our new MG 4 last Friday we were handed a Chargemap card. However, are there other cards that I should subscribe to ? I am aware that IONITY have a large network and of curse, there is TESLA, but the prices for Tesla can be a bit scary !
So, advice from folk with...
Hello,
we took delivery of a new MG 4 Luxury 64 kw the other day. One aspect that immediately annoys me is that the speed alert sound chimes three times the moment I exceed the speed limit it believes to be in place. Of course I soon realised that I could turn this off but then, get back in the...
