infotainment

Infotainment (a portmanteau of information and entertainment), also called soft news as a way to distinguish it from serious journalism or hard news, is a type of media, usually television or online, that provides a combination of information and entertainment. The term may be used disparagingly to devalue infotainment or soft news subjects in favor of more serious hard news subjects. Infotainment-based websites and social media apps are gaining traction due to their focused publishing of infotainment content, e.g. BuzzFeed.

    Is it really that difficult to update the infotainment at the dealer?

    My car was at my dealer for hours today, trying to get the R63 update. When I picked up the car they just told me that the update stopped during installation, and that I had to come back another day.

    New car day

    Picked up my Face Lift SE today, waiting for the old SR Excite to get collected. The SE seems a much improved car, love the trim inside and infotainment system. Sure I’ll have a few questions over the coming days

    Checking whether the PD052 update has been installed.

    Hello everyone. Is it possible to check whether the car already has the PD052 update installed? Can the user check it himself, through some option in infotainment system.

    No CarPlay

    Anyone else have this issue? CarPlay has stopped working. Tried with 2 different phones and 2 different cables all combinations. It was working a week ago, now when I connect a phone, neither the phone or the infotainment screen shows a connection. Also tried to fit a wireless dongle, but that...

    can you set nfotainment screen to dark permanently

    I am finding on my MG4 that the infotainment screen often turn to light mode when it is dark outside. I can change this by turning the auto lights off and on again but it would be easier if I could set the screen onto dark permanently. Can this be done and if so how? Thanks

    I can't bind my car!

    I picked up my new MG4 Trophy at the start of the week and while I'm enjoying it, there are some niggles. The main one is that I can't in any way shape or form bind the app to the car. I set up an account before getting the car but when I go into the log in part of settings, there's no QR code...

    Do R59 (Trophy) or newer fix any of these issues?

    1. Radio not starting when turning on the car. 2. Radio only find one channel. Have to reset infotainment to fix this. 3. Bluetooth disconnecting after 2-3 days. 4. Infotainment (rarely) restart during driving. 5. Make it less laggy?

    Radio stayed on.

    Strange thing today, the radio didn't turn off when I got out and locked the car. The screens went black as normal but the radio was still playing. Tried turning car off in the menus and getting out and restarting the car, still the same. The only way I could turn it off was by holding the home...

    Fog light not turning on

    I have always found it difficult to turn on the fog light due to the stupid positioning of the button on the touch-screen, but I did manage to do it once or twice. Not for a while though. I have had the infotainment upgraded from R13 to R33 since I last had the fog light on, I think. On Sunday...
