Is anyone aware of a way of having Android Auto on this car or a replacement aftermarket system which would?

MG EV4 iSMART app issues

Hey all

Feel free to point me toward a more appropriate sub if you think you know how this might get resolved sooner.

So I’ve had my new MG4 essence 64 since last Friday and have ironed out most of the infotainment issues, with the exception of one. The iSMART app (iPhone edition).

So in a nut shell I’ve managed to bind and unbind the car a few times to the app but each time I get that far I can’t seem to engage any of the remote features, but instead get messages like the following.

Please help! 😭

MG HS Phev 2023, remote heating/cooling?

Hi! I use a 2023 Mg HS Phev in Europe/Hungary. Is it possible to activate iSMART somehow, or any other way to cool/heat the car remotely?

I believe that iSMART works in Asia with this car. But I don't see the QR code on the display. No iSMART menu:(

MG ZS tire size ?

Hi all,

currently driving MG ZS, bought new couple of months ago, and now its time to buy a set of winter tires.

I choose Kleber Kristal HP3 as I have really good experience with them.

Question is :

Factory tire size is 215/50 r17

Can I fit 215/55 r17, or 205/55 r17 without any changes ?

MG HS PHEV Trophy

I have got a new MG HS Phev Trophy just last week. It has now an entirely new design.

However there is just one issue that s bothering me which was inherited from the old model. The front parking sensors do not activate unless you put the car into reverse mode first.

The manual also talks about a "parking assist button" that I could not find anywhere.

Is it possible to activate the front sensors at all time so long as say the driving speed is under 15 km/h.

MG3 2024 android auto

Hi all, in August I bought a 2024 MG3. I'm a Google pixel user (up to date android, android auto inbuilt) and have been trying to use android auto which the salesman said my car supported. I have usb and cannot get anything to connect beyond the Bluetooth calling and there's no button on my screen. All I want is to use Google maps!! Am I missing something or have I been lied to? Thanks in advance!

Locking while driving not working - new MG HS

Hello, I just bought a new MG HS, and I have one issue with it. Especially in the morning when I leave the garage, after 15km/h it locks and immediately honks, blinks and unlocks while I am on the go. I have to mention that I keep the key in the cup holder, not in the pocket. Does anyone else have similar problem? And what is to do about it?

Carplay

Hello, i am currently experiencing an issue where the wired CarPlay System on my MG3 suddenly stopped working, even after connecting and reconnecting. I tried to do a wireless connection, it still didn’t work.

Is there any solution or a fix for this? And is there any way where i can connect it wirelessly because i read that my MG 3 does not support it, but i am not completely sure as to why i can’t fix it myself, it does not even state anything about CarPlay on the owner’s manual. Any suggestions are appreciated.

MG Hector new software update?

I got a new software update notification in my hector. I ignored it for nearly a month now. Today I got a WhatsApp message from MG. Finally I installed the update.

But shockingly, absolutely nothing changed. I was looking for any hint of difference throughout the system. But absolutely nada.

What was the update about anyway? Does anyone know?

(P.S: I am so badly awaiting an update where I can turn off auto indicators.)

Heater Blowing Cold

Good morning chaps, Looking for some advice. My heater in my '04 TF refuses to keep me warm, instead only blowing out (not cold) but what feels like "normal" temperature air. This occurs both round the town and when she's been opened up a bit on an A road or motorway. I'm a complete novice with parts and repairs, so an explanation or any advice kept in simple terms would be appreciated! 😂

MG Hector Diesel Clutch Issues - Are Other Owners Facing the Same Problem?

Hey everyone,

I’m posting here to see if other MG Hector owners (especially the Diesel model) are facing similar issues, or if it’s just my bad luck.

I purchased my MG Hector Diesel in March 2023, and within just one month, I started facing problems. I was driving on the road when suddenly smoke came out of the bonnet, followed by a foul smell. When I took it to the service center, they said the clutch was gone and needed to be replaced. I was shocked since the car was practically new, but after some back and forth, they admitted it was a manufacturing defect and replaced it for free.

Fast forward to April 2024, my first hill trip with the car to Yercaud, and the clutch got jammed again, with the gears locked. I somehow managed to get the car back home and took it to the service center. This time, they said the clutch needed replacing again. Since it had been a year since the last replacement, I accepted that it might be wear and tear and paid for it out of pocket.

However, just a few months later, in September 2024, I was driving from Chennai to Home when the clutch jammed once again, leaving me stranded on the highway in the middle of the night. I had to arrange for roadside assistance to get the car towed. Now the service center is telling me the entire clutch system needs to be replaced—again—and it will cost around ₹90,000.

I’m feeling frustrated and mentally drained from all these issues. The average clutch life on Indian roads is supposed to be around 60,000–1,00,000 km, but I’ve already had to replace mine twice in under two years, and I’m looking at another expensive repair.

Are there other MG Hector owners out there facing similar problems with the clutch system? Is this a common issue with the manual diesel model, or am I just unlucky? Would love to hear your experiences and any advice on how to handle this with MG.

Thanks in advance!

MG4 EV Excite 51 review?

Hey everyone, I'm just looking for some personal opinions on the MG4 EV. They're now for sale in Australia New at $31,000AUD until the end of the month and me and partner are seriously considering it.

I asked MG dealership about roof racks and they said they don't have any? This puts me off a little bit.

Is the software quite good? I didn't get a lot of time to go through the settings and stuff.

Thanks in advance.
