According to Apple, more than 800 car models support CarPlay through a USB connection. Some vehicles also allow devices to connect through a wireless connection; wireless support can also be added through aftermarket dongles.Vehicles without CarPlay can have vehicle audio products from automotive aftermarket suppliers fitted.

    Apple Car Play screen.

    I dare say that quite a few of you are using Apple CarPlay. If you are one of them, you will probably be aware that the navigation screen is extremely bright, when driving at night. I’ve tried to find a solution, but failed. It is possible to dim the large screen, but not when it’s displaying...

    Apple Car Play issue (USB-c connector)

    I’ve recently got a new iPhone (16 Pro Max) and Apple CarPlay won’t connect. The phone charges so the wire works (I’ve also tried 2 different wires), but CarPlay doesn’t work. It worked fine with my old iPhone so I’m not sure what the problem is!

    The (annoying) side cameras and Apple Car Play

    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...

    Hello! Long time viewer, first time poster! I have a 6 month old ZSEV. When using CarPlay Siri doesn’t seem to be able to hear me at all, and gives up. If I use the MG voice system it works (most of the time calls another contact to who I’ve asked for), also I had a hire car this weekend...

    When connecting any dongle for wireless car play / Android play. It’s important you go into the dongle settings usually with an ip address of 192.168.1.101 it’s important you go to delay in the settings and change it from default to a 60 second delay.

    Android auto and Car play connection problems.

    Is there a software update in the meantime that solves the problems with Android auto and carplay, so that the connection does not constantly drop. Also the radio that stutters.

    Apple Car Play in the XPOWER

    Hi folks. I've had my Xpower for 5 months now. For obvious reasons (the built in sat nav is crap and out of date already), I need to use my phone whilst driving for Waze & spotify. Until now I've been relying on bluetooth connection for the music, but find that the reliability of the...

    Apple Car Play - won't connect after short stop (long press radio workaround)

    In my 2021 HS PHEV, I use the MG Apple car play integration with my iPhone, exclusively for maps/navigation and radio/Spotify, etc. (I actually use a Carlinkit 3.0 wireless module to make it wire-free - but the phenomenon described below is exactly the same when using a certified apple cable...

    Can't play videos.

    Is the video format the same as it was on the ZS ? I have a USB stick with some music in .mp3 format and some films on in .m4v format that played ok on my old Gen 1 ZS. On the MG4 the music plays ok but the car can't see the films it just displays "no video" on the screen.
