Essential or...dispensable accessories for your MG3 ⌛?️⛽?

[Italy]

Each of us has these accessories that seem to make life easier and especially the driving of your MG3 or ... other.

I'm starting this (long) series with this portable wireless inflator that allows me to easily inflate my Kuomo (Korean tyres) at home.
It recharges via USB and can even be used as an SOS signal and to recharge a smartphone.
I gave one to my neighbour and my daughter as a present. They're delighted.
I take it with me on long journeys to be on the safe side.

One must have

What do you think of it?

That looks awfully posh for blowing your tyres up mate, I just use one of these.

 

[Italy]

Yes, I've got a Ryobi one too.
I'm just sorry it's not as compact.

Here's another accessory that's not essential, but it will let you know the current charge of your 12-volt battery at all times.... while allowing you to charge your smartphone via your MG3's cigarette lighter socket.
The blue colour indicates that everything is fine; if the colour is red, this indicates under or over-voltage.

It can be plugged in permanently.

I'll let you guess what it is.....

GPS speedometer from AliExpress.

Well done MG CLIVE! ?

You guessed right!

Aliexpress just screwed up and order, expected 30/9 Royal Fail tried to deliver it 27/9

I went online to check WTF is happening, it appears they sent it to me via the town and postcode, I know the address was right as I got the MG silicone key cover from them a couple of weeks ago and I've not changed my address, RM have sent it back and I have to wait for AE to sort it out.

You need to open a dispute directly with ALI and not with the seller.

You also have the option of discussing the purchase or they can call you back on the phone.

Whatever it is, it's measuring kelvin metres per henry. Classy.

All sorted, I got an email over night refunding me, just so frustrating when they screw up and then make it hard to fix.

Ali has greatly improved the way we manage disputes, and now it's quicker and smoother. I'm very happy for you.

finding the way to do it was less than quick though, and the chat bot took a bit of waking up.

Depending on the time of day, these ladies are often very busy.

A small pouch to protect you from tech-savvy thieves.

 

[Big Ears]

I got this one, the fob has the house keys on it so a bag is no good, it does come with a bag and the spare key lives in that.

I tried it and as long as the box is properly closed and locked and the bag is folded over and secured with the velcro, you can stand next to the car and it will not open.

8.99 £ from Amazon.... and €1.29 from Ali.

As for the faraday tin, just use an iron tin ....you know the one with the tea-time biscuits

Ordered these tyre valve caps from Ali-express……I was £1.50 short of free shipping (which would have cost £1.99) on another unrelated item I ordered. Order arrived 4 days ahead of estimate?

 

[Alex5150]

Do you know where I could find this article to prevent the smartphone from slipping when cornering?

 

[Italy]

Hello Alex5150

No, I don't know where you can find it, but the MG3 cleverly has a little lip to prevent your smartphone from falling out. As for sliding on bends, I don't have that effect.
