    Retaxing car from 1st April Wider Involvement

    As from April 1st 2025 all EVs will be taxed at the same rate as ICE vehicles (£165 for the MG4 I think). Up until now, they had been exempt.

    EU MG4 (all variants) - Service campaign SC077 is out, improving lane assist performance

    So, my next service isn't due until next November, and the dealer I use has just lost their MG franchise. What's the chances of getting this update done (and not getting charged for it) at the next nearest dealer I wonder :unsure:

    MG4 EV speed limit issue

    No, no, silly me! I thought this discussion was about warnings on the dashboard being annoying because they were erroneous, not that people think they are mandatory to obey!

    MG4 EV speed limit issue

    I think you'll find that statement won't go down very well with anyone on a dual carriageway whose car has seen the 20mph speed limit on a services turnoff!!

    MG4 EV speed limit issue

    Pardon me if I'm totally wrong, but I thought you could simply turn off the speed notifications? (Speed Limit Mode in the (blurry) photo below)

    MG iSmart not working following iOS update yesterday

    Yeh, I have Android v2.0.7 and the app is totally unresponsive today. Server issues - again?

    MG4 Touch-up paint volcano orange.

    Try paintnuts. They have an exact paint match available. I know because I have one and it's a perfect match. Paintnuts

    I smart app not connecting to car

    My guess is that SAIC only have one server and if more than a few people try to use the app at the same time it can't cope. As @Martinonline says, sometimes (but by no means all, or even most, of the time ) unlocking then locking the car by remote or door handle button can encourage it to...

    Orange cup warning light on dash

    I get it after about 3 1/2 hours continuous driving. It really is a PITA when you're on the motorway as it always seems to occur just after you've passed a junction and it's miles before you can get somewhere to switch the car off and back on again.

    Aircon pump squeak / chirp.

    I also concur. Mine has been making this chirping, or tinkling noise for two years and is still working ok

    ISmart is your car online?

    Can you remember where you saw this please? The reason I ask is that when I bought my car (two years ago), I was told that iSmart was subscription-free.

    MG4 Spotted! : Was it you?

    It's an aftermarket item from AliExpress, or at least, mine was ?. It is basically a cover over the existing chrome badge.

    Ultra Eco Mode

    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 ?

    ABRP, Android Auto and OBD2

    Yep, that I do (y) Now, I've just uninstalled ABRP and re-installed it, whilst at the same time disabling CarScanner. I now find that ABRP is recording the OBD2 data. Would I be right in assuming that you can only view that recorded (and live) data on the phone, and not via Android Auto on the...

    ABRP, Android Auto and OBD2

    Thanks for all that @webhiker . However, The dongle communicates with ABRP on the phone with no problems. I can't get any confirmation on the phone that the dongle is connected, but CarScanner connects ok. How do you find the dongle in ABRP? I still can't get ABRP to read ODB2 data via Android...

    ABRP, Android Auto and OBD2

    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...

    MG4 Lane keep assist

    I have set my greeting text to remind me to switch off LKA each time, and as the infotainment system takes so long to boot up anyway, the few seconds to cancel LKA and switch Front Collision Detection to warn only is not really worth fretting about. Anyway, isn't MG supposed to be contacting all...

    OBD2 Data on Infotainment??

    Yes, correct model selected but, just like that reviewer, I found the readings totally inaccurate and inconsistent. I'm just going to shelve the whole idea until someone produces an app that can display non fictitious data. Could be a long wait!
