connectivity

I was checking all the settings on my new ZS & I noticed on the Sat Nav that the connectivity expires in 5 years for I assume Sat Nav, Weather & Amazon Music. I presume for a small exhorbitant fee MG would extend it. Has anyone done that? Seem it isn't needed with android auto.

Hi everyone - I wonder if anyone knows the way out of this problem? I had an email today from octopus (I'm on Intelligent octopus go) saying they had lost connection with my device (a Zappi) and to reconnect using the app. When I went to the app, it seemed to say I was still connected so I did...

Hi fellow MGeans, i have an MG4 X-POWER, fantastic car, love it! Based in the caribbean, one regret is that iSmart doesnt work here! I tried reaching out to MG China but no reaponse, that was via an email on their corporate website. Does anyone understand the connectivity involved between the...

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!

Can somebody please explain to a relatively new MG4 Trophy owner why the declined and accepted privacy notice messages appear when you haven’t touched them. The app does not seem to be reliable in binding to the car even though the home Wi-Fi signal is good.

I have a mg ZS EV 2023 I got it in January this year. I can't connect to mg ismart it's been back to the garage about 20 times . Mg told me it was because the car was not activated when it was first sold and it needs the Tbox activated is this a thing and is it right. Thanks for any replies

I've had my MG4 for a few months now, but only recently realised that the car has a 4G data connection. I'd like to know how this works. Is it like my own mobile phone? So does the car have a phone number, a network provider, and who is paying for the data used by the car? My worry is this, in...

I wonder what others experience is when using the so called Smart App with the MG5. I have the facelift version of the car and to say the app is a tad quirky would be an understatement. It picks and chooses when it will or won't connect to the car with no apparent common denominator. The other...

Recent articles suggest that MG Australia uses the Vodaphone network for in-car and iSmart connectivity. While Vodaphone has a smaller national footprint, its recent agreement with Optus enlarges that coverage significantly...

Hi all, I’m in Australia and have a MG ZS EV Long Range, just bought it a few weeks ago, I have bind the I-smart app to the car successfully but after weeks of trying the app still won't work - I continue to get 'Unable to get vehicle's GPS'. I also noticed that my car doesn't have any...

Help! Has anyone else had trouble charging with Osprey charging points. My MG Zs refused to connect once plugged in.

Hi - after 6 months without a car (our previous MG5 went back to the lease company when my wife changed jobs) we're picking up a new facelift MG5 tomorrow! Will be very pleased to be back on the road again. I am wondering and haven't been able to find an answer... is Apple Carplay in the FL...

Fourth query for today. Aus MG4 Essence I have connected my iPhone 15 via CarPlay. Google Maps- the car doesn’t seem to recognise or download the map. All I see is the single road I’m on. I have 4-5 bars of 5G, which the car shows. It either doesn’t load at all, or loads after many minutes...

I’ve been trying to access the app since late last night but keep getting the message that “status checking has failed”. Has anybody else had this problem? Thanks

Hi fellow MG4 drivers, loving my new car and some great tips on here! However, I'm having a couple of issues with connection from phone to Android Auto (AA) and YouTube music on AA. 1. My AA kept disconnecting from my Samsung S20 phone within 5 - 10 seconds of plugging it into the front USB...

Happy New Year everyone! I have a question about charging. My car was quite low on Monday night so I put it on to schedule charge overnight, 3.5 hours. I wouldn’t expect it to get to 80% but I didn’t use the car yesterday so left it connected and felt sure it would charge again between the...

Trip to the midlands & back- tried an AC charger at the destination, didnt work- put it down to a random niggle. Tried it on a CCS charger five minutes from home, same problem. Have whipped out my trusty 10mm & disconnected the battery, anyone got any bright ideas?

I've been charging my ZS all day, and being the first charge, have been regularly checking the status on the app. However, for the last hour it can't connect. When I asked for the location, it gave me an address in Belgium. I've checked, and it's still parked out there. Nobody has stolen it...

Hi all, Got my new iPhone and finally tried to connect to the MG. The phone has now ditched the lightning port in favour of USB-C. Plugging it the USB-C port under the infotainment system does nothing. No charge, no Airplay. I will try with another cable and also one of those USB3.0 to USB-C...
