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 😊

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks for your support!

[@mamamiaxx1693]

Hi did you manage to get Apple play to work ? I have an I phone 15 and it won’t connect to the c port using Apple cable and I can’t get CarPlay wirelessly either ? I have a long range zs

[@JerryPanandCars]

@mamamiaxx1693 need a cable to connect to the usb A port

[@Jestey6]

Hi Jerry. Jesus.. I was just relieved you don’t ask questions at the end. I been working through your videos and they are GREAT. My problem is remembering all you’ve taught me. My new ZS EV Trophy is due in three weeks and I thought it would be a good idea to ‘bone’ up. I think that if a night school course was available I would be very tempted to enroll🤔. A big thank you from Noel, in the UK.

[@JerryPanandCars]

Hi Noel, thanks for your comment. Starting a course might be too big of a mission for me haha, but we have received our new EV in New Zealand. I'm slowly doing the tutorial videos on the new EV and they will be up soon. Hope these will be helpful. Jerry

[@Jestey6]

@@JerryPanandCars Hi Jerry. If they’re the same quality as your other videos, they will be both amazing, and very helpful. I’m really looking forward to them. MG don’t supply a written manual, however there is a PDF one, but I’m sure it misses a lot of your content, I’ve had a look and the section on using Apple CarPlay is scant, it has nowhere the detail of you video relating to this. However I’m considering copying sections of the salient parts and producing an abridged A5/ring file manual with an index. I think this will be easier to navigate during my learning phase. When I purchased my current car, a BMW 3-Series Touring, I camped out in it for 2days, until I was familiar with it. Funnily I really enjoyed doing this, and thought it better than trying to familiarise myself whilst driving. Many thanks for your help. Cheers Noel.

[@JerryPanandCars]

@@Jestey6 Hi Noel, Will do my best on making it great quality as always. Honestly, I learned pretty much all the basics about MG from driving these cars. I only started reading the manual recently.

[@history_of_words]

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!

[@jeetwar]

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

[@KK64]

Thank you again Jerry just so helpful, i love my MG

[@richardharrison6993]

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.

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks for the support.

[@lynsayholt5468]

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?

[@LouvuiLove]

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 ☺️

[@chrismacangus1486]

Great video, do you know why the volume on the appleplay is so low when reading messages, the music volume is fine

[@JerryPanandCars]

While it is reading messages, you can try and adjust the volume. I believe there is two volume settings. one for the music and one for voices.

[@emilianoconiglio4098]

Hi Jerry. Thanks for your video! I was wandering if the option to visualize google maps in the screen (shared by your phone) is available in mg 3 core, which is the simplest version

[@abart1000]

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

[@ColinPowell_AMultitudeofOne]

Nice explanation. Will you be doing a similar video about Android Auto? Also, where is the best place to put your phone when you have it plugged into the USB port so it is in a safe place so it doesn't slide or rattle around? On top of the cover for the USB area?

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks for the comment. Yes I will be doing a similar video about the Android Auto. There is no best place for the phone unfortunately. The ZST's storage place under the screen is probably the best. For HS, it is probably easier to place it by the cup holder.

[@ColinPowell_AMultitudeofOne]

@@JerryPanandCars Thanks. I have the HS PHEV. I hope there maybe a future update to the Media Centre that allows wireless Android Auto and Apple Car Play as the cables look untidy (I have a new car that was not able to be fitted with DAB Radio, due to chip shortage, so I already have a USB cable running from the factory fitted aerial on the windscreen to a USB socket. I hope that gets fixed soon too!)

[@Adam-gd8no]

Hi, do you have to always plug the phone in if you want Apple CarPlay?

[@JerryPanandCars]

Yes. Unless you get an adapter to enable it wirelessly like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHnOaquchrKYqrssi=NC6tkBx3_OlvAdfS

[@lillydav10]

Mine isn’t connecting. I’ll try another wire and see if it works then

[@jean-yvescormand4281]

Great job and thanks , a bit too speed for me in France :-)) I try to adapt to my EHS !

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks for the comment. This was one of those early videos where I spoke too fast :D

[@jannyhansford4399]

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.

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks for the comment. Not sure how that happens unfortunately.

[@judywilliams9279]

why does my daughters mg zs excite When on the mobile you can hear all the noises of the car going along... perfect when stopped at lights etc

[@mrKYLieRIck]

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

[@JerryPanandCars]

It’s not wireless CarPlay only wired

[@cathypan-q1e]

Hi Jerry, how do you turn off the radio for mg5 vibe?

[@JerryPanandCars]

Not sure as we don't have MG5 in New Zealand. Most likely you just need to lower the volume to zero or press "home" button until the screen shuts off.

[@judywilliams9279]

my daughter has mg zs excite... reception is terrible with her i phone... she doesn't use the apple cord do you know if it would be better using a genuine apple iPhone connection... mg service said to try that otherwise nothing they can do... thanks Judy

[@JerryPanandCars]

Try genuine cable

[@MareeWillis]

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

[@JerryPanandCars]

Buy a high quality type C to USB-A cable. Thanks

[@jwhitts]

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.

[@JerryPanandCars]

Yes, it would be better.

[@mickyd2673]

My I phone overheats connected with a cable can you use Bluetooth for Apple Maps ?

[@JerryPanandCars]

No wireless CarPlay on this. You can try an adapter I showed in the recent video

[@asmarhaddad2973]

What about KZbin app? does it show in apple CarPlay??

[@JerryPanandCars]

@@asmarhaddad2973 no

[@GETxSCHWIFTY]

Hi Jerry, is there a way to connect to maps using Bluetooth instead of a cable?

[@JerryPanandCars]

No wireless CarPlay for MG yet. You will need to buy an adapter

[@GETxSCHWIFTY]

@@JerryPanandCars Thanks for your speedy response. I’ve ordered an apple cable as the aftermarket one I’m currently using cuts in and out.

[@JerryPanandCars]

@@GETxSCHWIFTY has to be genuine or Apple certified cable for stable connection. A random aftermarket one is no good.

[@rebeccamark8158]

Thank you, from India.

Thanks for your support!

[@KrystanBurgess]

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?

[@JerryPanandCars]

USB connects Apple CarPlay as this video shown. Use genuine or high quality cable

[@l_Star_Light]

Thank you, very well explained and great info. Aussie mum 😊

[@erichaynes7502]

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!

[@JerryPanandCars]

Hmm, it’s not something we have in New Zealand. No idea unfortunately

[@erichaynes7502]

@@JerryPanandCars No problem..I finally found it under the weather settings and switched it off. Thanks for your reply!

[@joeblue2492]

Can it talk to the car and route you to charging stations ?

[@JerryPanandCars]

Not to the car. The CarPlay works on its own.

[@teddym2808]

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.

[@JerryPanandCars]

Not wireless. You need an adapter. Will upload a video soon.

[@teddym2808]

@@JerryPanandCars Ok So i need a usb lightning cable basically yes? I was thinking of buying a very short one then for my iphone and seeing if I could fit the phone in the area where the USB ports are (MG HS). Car is delivered in another week which is why I don't know these things yet. I am trying to avoid having a cable run along the transmission area as I don't like the look but if I have to I have to. Thanks by the way for the answer, much appreciated.

[@umamakhan3683]

i have the wire, but is it possible to use without it

[@JerryPanandCars]

You need an adapter like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHnOaquchrKYqrssi=66LxQHUaHPrH6w70

[@TheMarathonomahos]

Can you set the radio manually?

[@JerryPanandCars]

Yes, push and hold the arrow button or icon.

[@haniehkesseler3882]

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

[@JerryPanandCars]

First, use genuine cable and reset your phone car play setting. Second, the screen could do a software update if possible.

[@kita4299]

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...

[@JerryPanandCars]

Correct cord will help.

[@ashwinalagendran6748]

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 :)

The CarPlay will only show apps allowed by Apple CarPlay. If it is not showing, it means Apple CarPlay doesn't allow this app to display.

You cannot change that as this is related to how the manufacture sets the screen. The screen then tells CarPlay to go left hand drive or right hand drive.
