Bluetooth/Android Auto

[Laurence1982]

Hi all. Apologies if this has been answered-can't find it.

I have the MG4 EV (standard range). If I try to play via Bluetooth from my phone it connects but won't actually play (Android Auto seems to cause an issue/override?). If I disable AA on my phone then Bluetooth works. Is this known and is there a way round it? Sometimes useful to play over BT.

On a similar note, can the standard range MG4 EV connect to AA wirelessly or does it have to be over USB?

AA can do wireless as long as you buy and plug in a Wireless AA adapter. (I use this one, with a start-up delay of 30 seconds so that the car can boot up before the adapter tries to connect to the car).

The problem is that AA hijacks the BT connection, as it uses that for calls, so you can't also play BT music. However if you have the phone plugged in (so AA starts) then you can play your music via AA anyway.
