I've had my MG 4 for quite some time. And one annoyance is the shortcut for phone usage.
I hate having to use the touch screen while driving for safety reasons.
The phone key opens the last calls page which is perfect. But it would be so much better if you could use the arrow keys on the steering wheel to navigate and middle button to call after pushing the phone button.
I have to call a number to open the gate at work, and to be efficient I usually call two minutes before arriving, because the gate is slow at opening. And every time I have to poke around on the touchscreen, the number is always high up on my recent calls list, so if I could use the arrow keys it would be like phone key, one or two clicks down and middle key to call.
Given MGs track record for software, this is never going to happen of course, but it seems like such a missed opportunity.
Same with incoming calls, should be possible to answer without touching the touchscreen, I thought the phone button would work for that, but seems not.
