Thank you so much for these videos, if I was in NZ I would definitely purchase my MG from you but unfortunately I'm from over the pond in the mainland so I'm learning so much for when I do eventually get mine over here!
Same here. I appreciate the passion and level of detail that Jerry has consistently shown through the effort of researching and recording these videos!
Hi Jerry, question for you, im using an MG3 Core, which you (and other places on the internet) have listed as being compatible. It does have Apple CarPlay. But the car doesnt seem to have that second USB port. Any help here?
The MG3 only has Apple CarPlay. No Android Auto. You will need to get an aftermarket adapter like this to activate that. ruclips.net/video/4TVsaMvlAh8/видео.htmlsi=N4erjk4ExTgQAFnk
Not possible to add onto the screen but you can use an adapter if your vehicle has Apple Carplay: ruclips.net/video/4TVsaMvlAh8/видео.htmlsi=qV3oPuA-2iodh8M_
Hi fellow owners Having purchased The MG HS Excite 2023 model I am at a loss as how to get the DAB radio setting. On the main infotainment screen it has FM and AM but the DAB is ghosted in dark grey....Am I to believe this Excite model has No DAB Radio? And if so it's a poor show not having a DAB setting on a year old car, surley these should come as a standard setting? Any info greatly appreciated.
Hi i have an MG3 2020 model, i have android auto installed but it doesn't seem to work. I bought a new cable too. Any advice? It lists Apple CarPlay on my car
An idea would be to use a wireless USB connection so that you dont need to alway plug in and out. Can you show how this is done in another video please? Thank you.
Hi Jerry…. How do I get the voice commands (open sunroof, turn up the temperature 1 degree, etc) to work on an MG ZS EV Mk 2 Essence SR .. thanks David
Do you have NZ / AU version? If you do, there is no voice command for vehicle feature. It only works under Apple CarPlay / Android Auto for SIRI or Google Assist.
Hey Jerry, great work. I'm still having issues to link up my phone. I have a new oppo android 13, it works in my wife's car a MG ZST 2022 but won't work in my HS +EV 2022. My old phone with Android 11 will work in both cars. Any hints how to resolve this issue?
Hi Jerry, I'm in Australia. Have had my MG ZS for almost 2 years. Have an android phone and cant get much on the entertainment screen . Cant get Pictures or video. Maps dont come up on screen either, only on phone. I thought i needed an I phone for these things to work? Sorry about typing mistakes, I'm in car at dusk, cant see as good.
@@jayceec3178 hi, you will need an adapter to enable that feature called Android Auto. Go through this video here: ruclips.net/video/0TuczvAXeeY/видео.htmlsi=fF1PtxVD5uLeklsx
In australia android auto wont allow some app access eg youtube. Its a legal issue as state law bans driving with video on a display. Only the allowed apps on your phone appear on the car display. If maps isnt on the phone it wont be on car display
Hi jerry love you’re RUclips channel could you please advise me on why I can’t hear my google maps talking to me when I plug my phone in using Apple car play please
Hi Sheryl, 2 ways to fix it: 1. make sure you didnt mute the guidance on google map when guidance is on. 2. when the guidance is making any announcement, quickly increase the volume.
are there any problems with the mg hs navigator? some forums talk about a problem with the satellite both on the android car and on the original navigator.
Is there an option to >check folders of Music & select my fav songs> on the USB drive on the MG ZS EV?. I am having to search for the song manually and it is difficult. Do U know?. Thanks.
The AA screen will show a home screen with radio, map and other vehicle info and you can combine each item or radio while map is visible etc. radio will interrupt with map instruction eg turns
One Question. Can the Android Auto navigation plan routes with charging stops for EVs? I am currently thinking to get an MG4 electric, but there is a big price gap between the one with on board Nav (and 10 things I dont want to pay for) and the one I would want to get if Android Auto could account for charging stops.
Hi Jerry, thanks for the videos, just have a question, I have recently bought an mg hs core, whenever I use Android auto, the map lags behing around 400-500m on the highway, just wandering if you have come across this issue. Thanks
I sometimes have a similar issue. Typically, where my cell service is lagging/hitting a dead spot. I use TKS service + German sim card for my Samsung Galaxy 21 for reference. I came here a little while back from U.S. for work.
hello am from Jordan i brought MG RX5 2020 my question is how i can update the maps and how do i apply car play to my car from Samsung A32 many thanks in advance.
Not sure about map update on other MGs. In New Zealand, you can only do the update via online website. You can only use Android Auto if your car supports it.
Hi, thank you for your video. I have MG zs ev long range. I tried to play my music through usb or SD card. It downloads all songs, not as files but just as almost 700 songs. Even if I select favourite songs I cannot play these songs, I have to choose song manually.
Great tutorial Jerry, and will try once my car is fully charged. I see it listed in your notes but to confirm, should Android Auto work on my 2022 MG HS PHEV? Thank you.
@@JerryPanandCars OK, I tried setting up, but the MG tries to have me use Carbitlink instead of Android Auto, and Carbitlink seems very unstable. When I plug in my phone (correct USB port on the left) and set it for file transfers/Android Auto it's OK but nothing happens on the MG info screen. Any ideas?
My andoid auto seems to lag about 10-15 minutes into a trip, the maps is about 500m-1000m off. Also touching icons on the screen can take up to seconds to respond. I have a brand new ZST Essence. Has anyone else had slow down issues? I have a S23 ultra and use high quality cables, android auto does not slow down in the other 2 cars I also drive frequently
My issue is connecting the app to the car. I get to a stage where the app tells me to press 'voice command' on my vehicle but nothing happens when I do.
Hi Jerry. So I am confused here. I don't want any wires. I want to use everything through my bluetooth connection ie not have to use android auto. In my last car a Renault, if I was connected and in the address boo (Managed by another button on steering wheel) when I pressed the face like thing for 15secs it then beeped you said the name, ie Renault call name etc, and it connected and made the call. But now I have an MG and I cannot get the call thing to work wirelessly, what am I doing wrong. I am using a new Samsung Galaxy noto 20. BTW I now have the MG Exclusive 1.5 DCT Auto, 2022 model. Many thanks
The MG doesn't have in-built voice command like your Renault. Hence there is no function for voice command on Bluetooth. You can only use voice command when you connect Android Auto.
@@JerryPanandCars thankyou I have found this out. Am getting to grips with Android Auto when I need it. Hate anything that doesn't work over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
@@JerryPanandCars thank you I have brought the AA Wireless Dongle however it pairs with phone but tries to synchronise with Android Auto but no luck do you think it may a faulty C cable?

It is hard to get much owner's info on this RUclips page. Search "MG HS" on Facebook Group and you will find some genuine owners there.
Not all features in android auto are supported in the vehicle. Eg dab may not be a installed car feature.

Android Auto won't have access to your battery level. It is just normal navigation.
If its like standard maps, you can search for the locations of plugshare points and add it to your journey.

Google maps can only be used when Android Auto is connected
My issue is connecting the app to the car. I get to a stage where the app tells me to press 'voice command' on my vehicle but nothing happens when I do.
If you're using Android, cable connected, just say "Hey Google" or with Ios, say "Siri" then it'll pick it up, same with mobile Alexa, say "Alexa".
