I use Siri in the five. With the phone plugged in. Phone/ message/ and what’s app messages and also asking for routes to places displayed on the car screen using Waze. Pretty successful in most cases.I hate voice assistants - mine has been off from the start, along with Siri.
I'll be fine with them when the technology finally matures and probably depend on them if I lose my marbles but until then...
I didn't know it did that - that would be useful when driving.The only two commands I use through the "Voice" steering-wheel-buttons, are "Maximum / Minimum Brightness!".
I had a major tantrum with the dealer a couple of weeks ago, having sent them videos. The MG4 Trophy was brand new. I pointed out that if they can’t get it to work then I wanted my money back (Consumer Protection Act etc) to which they agreed. The voice system was unusable - either didn’t hear or didn’t understand, and only worked when pushing the button. Then gave absurd responses or just said it didn’t understand. They loaned me an MG ZS (the bigger one) in which Hello MG seems to work quite well. They’ve had the MG4 for a week now. They are waiting for a software update! Watch this space ??My experience with this when trying to make a phone cal using my voice is:
"Hello MG - Call Wendy"
"Calling Phil B"
"Hello MG - Call House"
"Calling Starling Customer services"
Tried many times, with many tones of voice, fast, slow etc and the result is always the same.
My info system is on R30
Tried it whilst driving and when stationary too
Can you train the system to your voice ?
What are other peoples experience with this ?
Somtimes it feels like different company. How SAIC which should be the biggest car company in China can't stand with the technology standards of BYD, Geely, xpeng, and moreI can sometimes get it to lower or raise the temperature, but that’s about all it does. Very disappointing if you compare it to the list of MG Hector voice commands available on other MGs in different markets.
I have exactly the same issue !! (original Sept. 2023 R40 software)............ Here’s a weird thing… when I say ‘call Fred bloggs’ it understands because it displays ‘call Fred blogs’. Then it calls mike housby. So it seems to me that synching contacts loads them into the database but scrambles them too.
I probably have too many contacts. I should start with one. Now trying to contact MG but suspect I’m on the red list.
No I didn't bother contacting them TBH, I just use the touch screen if needed.Did you get anywhere with MG?
