Am I being dumb, or does the iSmart app no longer have route planning options? If so, where? I'm sure it used to when I had my MG4. Whether its any good or not is another question!

Anyone else considering ceramic coating their IM5? My previous MG4, which I'd had ceramic coated, was handed back to the bank at the end of the three year PCP period. The vehicle examiner who came to collect it, told me that he assumed from it's condition that it was new and unused. That...

In the specs for the IM5, it states, under Safety and Security, that it has Brake Disc Washing (BDW) as standard. Anyone know wtf that is? It's not mentioned anywhere in the Owner's Manual and Google just shows me cans of brake degreaser. Oh, and another thing - annoyed the IM5 is incapable of...

Does anyone else have an elusive rattle from the rear of their IM5? I noticed a sound like something was moving around in the boot area a day or so after getting the car, but now just 150 miles later it has become a definitive metal on metal 'clank' or rattle when driving over uneven roads...

Just noticed this statement in the Owner's Manual: Quote - " Privacy (Global Data Service). Note: After agreeing to the "Privacy Policy", users can turn switch on the Global Data Service and obtain the authorization to use DVR, Third-party Apps, Map and Voice for 24 months." - my emphasis. So...

I'm returning my car (MG4) to the bank in a week or so (negative equity etc), and I'm preparing a list of "Got to do's" before the car collection guy turns up. If there's anyone who's already been through the procedure, can you tell me if I've forgotten anything please? Here's my list (so far)...

As some of you, ex or current, MG4 owners may remember, a few years back I was offering (at cost price) printed and bound copies of the MG4 Owner's Manuals here As a soon to be new IM5 owner, I've been asked if I could offer the same service for the IM5 (and maybe the IM6). So, I'm posting...

I am aware that the IM5 (and presumably the IM6) use a camera in the windscreen sensor cover to record to a DVR as per a normal dashcam, but does anyone know if recordings are also recorded from the rear view camera? If not, I wonder if NextBase have a product that may be compatible with the...

Highest mi/kWh achieved so far ?. Amazing what a descent of Sutton Bank rewards you with! For some reason it seems I forgot to record the figures after the ascent ?

I've run into a little problem with getting ABRP to work with OBD2 data (using a VLink MC+) over Android Auto and was wondering if anyone else has had the same issue. Simply using ABRP with my Android phone (Google Pixel 8 Pro) works just fine, ABRP allows me to select my car and I can see SoC...

I'm looking to buy an OBD2 dongle to use with Carscanner (Android) but I have some questions (sooo many questions....) I hope can be answered here please? I want to display the OBD2 data on the infotainment screen, so: Firstly, is Carscanner compatible with Android Auto? If not, would I be...

Has anyone else run into this problem?: If I have my charge limit set to 100% and the current charge is between 80 and 100%, the car charges just fine (using Zappi and solar power (eco+)). However, if I log off from iSmart, when I log back on to it, it has reset the charge limit to 80% and has...

Does anyone know whether MG have produced manuals for the latest versions of the MG4 yet? I've had a good look around MG's website and grilled a couple of main dealers, but no one has seen any yet. If anyone sees any sign of them, can they DM me please, and I'll try to arrange to get hard copy...

Has anyone else experienced the sat nav display remaining static whilst the voice gives the correct directions? I set a post code into my satnav this morning and started the navigation. A mile or so down the road I noticed that the satnav display showed my location as still being at home. The...

Can anyone suggest an alternative to the 3M self adhesive pads used to attach dashcam brackets to the windscreen? Every dashcam I've had always succumbs to the same problem every summer, in that the adhesive of the pad fails when it gets hot in the sun. Leaving aside permanent adhesives like...

I seem to be having a real brain failure whilst trying to plan for if I need to use a Tesla chargepoint (if there's one near) whilst on holiday. I've downloaded the Tesla App (called Tessie?) and have made an account (I think!). I don't see any option for charging though, whether with a...

As an exercise, I'm going through Rev 2 of the MG4 manual identifying the differences from Rev 1 (I'll be posting my findings later). What I've found so far though, is that several illustrations have been updated - but only to change the RHD screens to LHD!! The basic information is the same...

Warning to owners of orange MG4s who were thinking of cleaning their cars today. Greenfly love orange! I decided to take the opportunity to wash the car today as there wasn't any direct sunshine. Big mistake, first I found my first stone chip (?) and next I had a swarm of kamikaze greenfly...

Well, I suppose it was inevitable. After 1500 miles of trouble-free driving, my infotainment screen is borked with the usual flicking from one screen to another (see Video). It seems to be a problem with the screen driver as the main screen decreases slightly in size and it's enough for the left...

Am I the only one having problems with iDumb recently? It only ever used to connect to the car every other attempt but now, for the last fortnight, it just sits there saying "Unable to get the vehicle's GPS" and the vehicle status check just times out with the "The status checking is failed...
