  1. Hi – I use apple CarPlay (rental car) and it brings up the maps just fine, but I dont have the audio on the directions. The car quite happily does podcasts using CarPlay – any ideas. It worked in the beg=inning but just stopped, volume doesn’t help, on the iphone or the car and Ive checked settings (most) HELP!

  2. Hi Jerry! Thanks for the video! I bought new MG ZS hybrid and someone told me I can see videos for my daughter on the Infotainment screen… do you know how can I do it? I can’t find any info about that.

  3. Hi Jerry. Pls can you tell me how to take a phone call whilst still seeing the navigation/maps on the screen? I have a UK MG HS 2021 which I’ve just got and don’t know how to keep maps on screen when taking a call. Thanks in advance – Toni

  4. Jerry just bought a new MG XS EV in the UK and have found your Utube videos so useful. Keep up the good work my Friend 😊

  5. Great video. I ah e a question in regards to google maps
    With Apple play. I drive a right hand drive mg hs. The screen displays google
    Map with the navigation Payne on the right and the route on the left. Where it showed the route on the right – closer to the driver before in my old mg zs. Do you know how to change this?

  7. Where will you keep your phone? Are you driving with the phone placed in your leg?? There is no space to keep the phone. Stupid MG

  8. Thanks Jerry. This is a fantastic video. I like the detailed step by step explanation. It means even someone who is not familiar with the equipment can follow along and understand. Thanks for sharing.

  9. hi jerry, ive got no problem connecting with the cable, but i want to connect wirelessly, stil im not able to do that

  10. This video is great. I’m thinking of buying the HS trophy and prefer Google maps. I did not know you could do this and I have CarPlay in my xtrail. I’m going to try some of this in that car too ☺️

  11. Hi, why when i plug in the cable, on my iphone doesn't appear the window for permission of car play ? It only charge my phone…

  12. Just bought a HS excite, decent car but the fact there is only one 12v point on the car is a bit disappointing. I have a dashcam and the location of the 12v point means the cable/plug sticks up and I can’t close the cover. Carplay would also be better if it connected wirelessly.

  13. Hi Jerry
    I have an iphone 15 that has a C connection not a USB, how do I connect to Apple Carplay?
    Thank you
    Maree

  14. Can we use apple carplay using wireless ottocast device and dashcam at the same time mg zs ev

  15. Hi Jerry. I just upgraded my phone to iPhone 15 pro max and the CarPlay won’t find my mg3. It worked on my last phone. Any ideas why?

  16. Im in Thailand 2021 MG HS. Do you know how to disable the safety warning voiceover at startup? its in Thai and it drives me crazy!

  17. Great Video Jerry! Got my ZS delivered yesterday, cant wait to explore all of these features! cheers mate!!

  18. Thanks Jerry, this is one of the best videos I have seen on using CarPlay with the MG HS. Nice video for such a nice car with a large touch screen!

  19. Do you know why and if there is a fix for the car constantly disconnecting apple Car play. I have to unplug and then plug again so many times. And it is not the “allow CarPlay while locked” as that is turned on.

    This has been an issue everytime I have rented an MG.

    Any help would be appreciated

  20. This is a great video, thanks heaps. I have a new Mg ZST Excite, and have connected by cable for Car play. During conversation the car play stops working but I can hear the person on iPhone asking if I can hear them. Why did it stop going through the Apple CarPlay on car speaker? Is it my phone? TIA.

  21. Hi Jerry, are you able to change the most used app menu (Apple Maps, Spotify and messages for example) from the right hand side to the left hand side and vice versa? I have an MG ZS and I’m not sure how to do that. Thanks 🙂

  22. Hi, does carplay work wirelessly? This way I can try hide phone out of sight and have plugged into rear ports to charge – I know I am weird but I don't like seeing cables next to me in the front.
