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.

    The SE 1100R38 Infotainment Thread

    Had my 2nd service today ... all was done as expected, except the rear undertray support as the parts weren't in - I'm getting that done next Thursday. This is what's listed on my invoice: As can be seen my FICM has been updated to 1100R38 (as well as some other module updates). :)...

    Screen Off

    I have not seen this referred to here and could not find any info in the 'manual' either. I had seen that the infotainment screen could be turned completely off to just leave a clock on a black screen. I asked AI which informed me to 'swipe down' on the screen. This shows another...

    Visual and audible Warning signs.

    Could anyone tell me please why I have got a steering wheel symbol flashing on the infotainment screen. This happened yesterday and there was a high pitched "chirping" what I can only think was some sort of warning. We only got the ZS Tommy last Wednesday bought brand new.

    SF on infotainment and dashed line on power meter?

    Hi, new owner of a 2021 HS Phev Exclusive here. Really happy with the car but have a couple of queries that I cannot find answers to in the manual. 1. On the infotainment display it sometimes displays 'SF' in the top left next to the Bluetooth symbol. Anyone know what SF stands for? 2. On the...

    MG4 Infotainment Screen

    Does mg4 infotainment system come with a protective film? I just got mine and I thought so because the corner of the screen peeled off, but when I tried to peel it off it didn’t come off easily and broke so I stopped. It doesn’t make sense for it not to come with one, and if this is a defect...

    Infotainment, USB music album info not showing

    2022 ZS LR. On the Infotainment screen top level (3 sections, Range, Music, nav), music from the USB is shown OK (Album graphic, title, forward and back buttons etc). When you touch that USB section of the screen to expand it, the screen becomes a greyish blank colour. Also when using the Nav...

    Follow Me Home

    I never made this work, I know that for other MGs you have to Turn Off the car using the push button then pull the headlight lever once, however on the MG4 there is no Push Button, so I just set it to Park, and pull the light switch once, get out, and lock the car, however Follow Me Home doesn't...

    Infotainment going all Wonky!

    My car's infotainment system is totally freaking out. The touch screen's fine, but I can't get to the settings or use the steering wheel camera shortcut either. I'm thinking a factory reset might fix it, but I'm not sure how to do it without being able to navigate. Android Auto works though...

    MG4 Xpower

    Hi all, first time posting. I have an MG4 XPower and was wondering if anyone else has had issues with the MG app logging out on their phone? I’m using an iPhone 12 on iOS 18 (and had the same problem on iOS 17). Also, does anyone experience problems with the infotainment system, like the DAB...

    Battery temperature on the centre infotainment screen, a godsend

    I have Car Scanner running on iOS (iPhone) and using CarPlay I can see dashboards with sensor readings as I go. This morning I planned to pop to the local grocery store to buy some food and rapid charge to 80%. It was 5°C outside but the battery pack was between 9.5°C and 11°C. I switched the...

    Car Scanner Pro

    Car Scanner Pro has recently been added to Apple CarPlay (and Android Auto I think), so it's possible to see your percentage charge on your infotainment screen now. I have a problem with my pre-facelift ZS though - shortly after turning off and locking the car the alarm sounds, unless I...

    Light or dark screen confusion

    Hi, I just ordered an MG4 Trophy extended. My first ever new car. I'm trying to work out if there is a dark mode for the infotainment system screen. I have asked my dealer (car... nothing else) whether the screen has a dark mode I can activate, as I don't like the light grey theme, and prefer...

    Does the MG4 EV hate LKA secretly itself?

    Throwing this out there to the crowd! Recently when completing the usual pre flight checks like turning off LKA, I have noticed something strange. When the infotainment screen boots up quickly and you head to the MG Pilot tab to disable LKA, the option to do so is there, as normal, mocking me...

    Couple of odd ones today... any thoughts?

    Hi all. Couple of little issues today. 1. I always switch LKA and brake assist to alert. I take the same journey every day to work. On the side of one road there is a parked car that is ALWAYS in the same place. Today, completely out of the blue, I got an alert on overtaking it. No car coming...

    Sound system

    I'm sitting here waiting for my son, and I'm having a play with infotainment settings. I assume you all have Arkamys system and with virtual sub switched on. Without these 2, the sound is terrible.
