Me again…iSMART app

[Captain]

Why does my car..?

1: refuse to talk to me
2: think it’s at the European Commission in Brussels even though it’s plugged into my house..? ?

Thanks ?

1. Is the car getting a mobile signal? If it is, when was the last time you unlocked it / used it? MG4 has been known to go to ‘sleep’ after as little as 24hrs sometimes.

2. Possibly because it’s not getting a good mobile signal, it may default to the nearest server location?

Not certain on these, just ideas…

Thanks for your ideas....

1: I have full mobile coverage here on most networks and I have connected it to the house wifi..
I just got back from a 200km trip this evening..

2: again it should be getting a good signal if that's the indication on the top right corner of the screen...I've been unable to connect to it most of the time but when I have it tells me the bonnet is open and my steering has failed ?

Hmm, I’m stumped then I’m afraid! Sounds like you perhaps need a conversation with your dealer…

What does dead reckoning do ?

If you type in dead reckoning into the search (top right) you will get loads of info on it. You can use search to get info on just about anything, as most issues have been addressed .

Fully aware of the search facility, I just thought given you were randomly posting how to turn it off, you might offer some further insight as to what it does.

Edit, dont worry yourself, I've now read up on it

Tried switching it off and no luck...

Returned to factory settings reinstalled the App.....Nothing, I'll return to the dealer although last time they bricked it for a few months ?

Who bound the app to your car, you or your dealer? Seems very odd the car thinks it's somewhere else.

Both, I had to show him though…

Some partial success after a factory reset it now knows where it is ?

And I could activate the horns and lights… ?
