[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks for stopping by. A quick note for one mistake in this video: The auto door lock toggle switch in the screen is not available in the base spec model (Excite for NZ/AU / Se for UK).

Thank you, Jerry, that's a helpful pre-buy rundown.

[@iangrant1932]

Hi Jerry. Thank you for the time and effort you have put in on these tutorial videos. There were two weeks between the day I ordered my Excite 64 and delivery day. I used that time to view your videos so when I picked up the car I was much more aware of how things worked. It made that hour-long drive home much more relaxing and enjoyable. I really enjoy driving my MG4. Cheers, Ian.

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks Ian.

Hi Jerry, I’m in the UK and have recently acquired an MG4. Your videos have been so helpful in explaining the vehicle ‘workings’..great job👍🏻

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks for the support!

[@ShortBetter]

Very informative. Using it almost 2 years, and didn't know any of this....

[@SummerSunshine02]

Hi Jerry. Thanks heaps for all of your work on the MG4 info. Awesome and clear explanations!!

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thank you so much for the support!

[@dminalba]

Hi Jerry from all the way from Scotland, I’m a disabled driver and looking up the MG4 for a Motobility lease a UK leasing scheme for drivers with disabilities, MG UK has available for Motobility the standard SE (excite), SE long range and Trophy (essence). Your tutorials are a big help in helping my consider the MG4

Great content and very helpful - much more use than the modest manual for my new X power - thanks Jerry

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks for the support!

[@TreasurerSGLN]

Fantastic videos!! Thank you so very much - they are pitched perfectly. We are loving our MG Excite.

[@msdemeanor3797]

I just picked up my new Excite here in Melbourne, your channel is fantastic. Thanks Jerry!

[@JerryPanandCars]

Congratulations!🥂

Hey. You’re videos are really helpful. I am a new MG4 owner. Can you pleaaassse create a video of in case I want to sleep inside the car with aircon turned ON? What are the Dos and Donts pls? Plssssssss❤

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks. I think you just need to have the air con to air from outside and it will be fine.

[@MaasimMotovlog]

@@JerryPanandCarsI was thinking if there’s a way to keep the AC on while motor is ON/OFF? My main concern is, Where would the AC get power from? Would it be from the battery on front? Or the motor battery below the floor?

[@markharwood6794]

Excellent

[@cybersmart_eu]

Cool, focused video 👍 One question left for me - how about windows closing with the remote control. Is this function available?

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks for the comment and support. I have tried this but it looks like the MG4 does not come with this feature :(

[@traceyb3752]

Looking for one on how to put info screens to night mode thanks for the vids

[@JerryPanandCars]

The screen tutorial will be uploaded in a few weeks :)

[@KMC1968]

Dear Jerry, PLEASE do a video showing us how to “disable” keyless entry & starting OR how to turn off the smart key. Im in the UK & car thieves are stealing many vehicles using signal amplifiers. My Wife & I both own MG4 cars & have faraday pouches but the key is now a huge problem for owners. Please advise. Thankyou Jerry & keep up the good work 🫶🏻

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks for the comment but I have no idea how to disable keyless entry sorry.

[@KMC1968]

@@JerryPanandCars Thats to be expected, however it would make a viral video “if” you explore it. Tonight ive just used the updated MG app to open/start & drive my car to check it works. Just incase I had my key in a faraday pouch, but the phone works perfectly which is maybe safer than using the key?. Anyway Jerry you’ve been a really good help, my Wife got a Trophy extended range recently & I got an x power 2 weeks ago, your videos have saved us hours & helped us operate & understand our cars. Thankyou & have a lovely Christmas 🫡

[@rondunnett7204]

Always brilliant as usual. Is there any way to save personal settings on my MG4 Trophy?

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately there is no function to have multiple driver selection on the MG4.

[@enriquedguez3580]

Hi Jenny, how could I leave the electronic key inside the car, taking out only the mechanical key, so I can go diving, since I can't put the remote control key in?

[@krishnas_channel]

hi jerry! Doesn't excite 51 window mirror auto lock when vechicle is locked with key from outside? or we have to mannually close window mirrors when getting out of vechicle?

[@JerryPanandCars]

No, the MG4 doesn't have this feature

[@colinsowman3656]

Hi Jerry, Great videos with the sort of information all MG dealers should provide - but don't. I have one question: You seem to suggest that putting the key in the centre consul as described allows the car to 'start' (the traction battery to kick in) even if the 12V battery is flat. Is that correct or have I misunderstood you?

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks for the comment. No :( I meant when the key battery is flat. If the 12v battery is flat, you will need to do a proper jump start.

[@colinsowman3656]

Drat! I thought that there may be a way of not carrying a jump starter around. Still, thanks for the reply and well done on the videos. I learned far more from them than from the dealers.

[@joannepark1029]

Thank you!

[@jimbuchanan2704]

Thank you. Is the key charging pad on the mark 4 SE (long range)?Looks different.

[@JerryPanandCars]

It is the same across all MG4 as far as I know.

[@carldoran6567]

Boot Jammed and key wont fit. Hi Jerry great videos. Thank you. P.S. I just cut away the towel from the inside and freed up the boot. The key hole from the inside is not a key hole but a slot that can be twisted by a screw driver, ( a broad bladed one). It works well when you are inside the boot, if you can find a largish screw driver or equivalent. I have a boot jammed and locked by a towel caught in the mechanism. Wont open from the outside and the manual key wont fit from the inside. It appears that the inside manual entry key hole doesn't actually exist. It is only a 'dummy' plastic insert. Is this feature not available in the Excite model? You can twist the plastic insert with a screw driver but the boot wont open. P.S. see start of post

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks for the information. Glad it is sorted now.

[@glennmorrell8964]

Thanks Jerry, good to know these things, does the key unlock boot from inside even if car is dead flat or no power at all like when 5G towers can disrupt signal to key fob, thank you.

[@JerryPanandCars]

I believe so. That’s mechanical unlock with no power needed.

[@JerryPanandCars]

Oops, I might have misunderstood your question. If you meant the boot Auto Unlock when key is inside thingy, no, it wouldn’t work if the car has no power or signal.

[@InBodWeTrust]

Auto door lock toggle switch is not available in the base spec model (SE in the UK), certainly not in the MY22 version that I have - the option is physically not there in the screen.

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks for that. You are correct. Yes, it is not available in base spec (Excite in NZ/AU) either.

[@tv175s3]

Is the rear wiper a feature for 2023 model year only? I think my 2022 doesn't have that? Just like middle headrest in the backrow.

[@JerryPanandCars]

Updated by MG for MY2023 I believe. Yeah, the 2022 doesn’t have that.

[@benbeverley561]

Thanks Jerry! Do the settings stay when you turn the car off? I’ve heard some settings reset to factory?

[@JerryPanandCars]

Things related to central locking doesn’t reset. Thanks

[@jersut]

Hi Jerry, I park my car in the driveway. To reduce the risk of a relay attack, I have put the key fob in a Faraday pouch. However, is there any way to disable keyless entry for the MG4?

[@JerryPanandCars]

I don't think so.

[@clayton4115]

Hi where can the buyer check to see whether they have got the right size battery car? I,.e if I want the 77 where will it say the car has the 77 battery in it ?

[@JerryPanandCars]

Registration, battery under the package, range, power or dealer information

[@selgeaus]

Thank you. Now I know I can safely escape if I get locked in the boot by a Mafia member.

[@JerryPanandCars]

Thanks! Hope you remember this video in that situation:)

[@PJWey]

As long as they kindly leave you the key 😂

[@eddiembamba786]

Does the car not supposed to lock itself if I forget to lock and left with the key?

[@JerryPanandCars]

Nope.

[@Airbag888]

I'm going to miss the Megane IV central locking... 1. Proximity lock (so you do not need to touch your keys) 2. Sensor inside each handle (4 of them) just slide your hand in as you naturally would and it unlocks. Great also because the kids can unlock and get in as long as the key is nearby 3. Walkaway auto lock. As soon as you are 1.5m away from the car, all doors lock 4. (bonus) You can double tap the lock button on the key and it closes all windows from a distance

[@JerryPanandCars]

Yep, we have had some Renault used cars on my last job. I definitely enjoyed the number 2 and 4 features.

[@anthonyjones9393]

Hi Jenny. I just got my MG 4 every time I unlock it with once or key once it’s it’s to alarm off. How do I stop that?

[@JerryPanandCars]

I didn't get the questions sorry.

[@y.tahagullu8142]

One more question ? İs there any way to close all Windows automatically when we locked the car ? 🙏🏻😅🙈

[@JerryPanandCars]

Unfortunately not available for NZ spec when I tried.

[@georgeconstantinbalin1359]

Hey how I can close the windows from remote chei I have MG 4 2023 model ‘ I hope you can tell me? 😉Thank you

[@JerryPanandCars]

MG4 doesn’t have this feature

[@udayanvelayudhan3540]

What's the point of having tail gate button since it releases as long as if key is with you

[@JerryPanandCars]

@@udayanvelayudhan3540 every car has it

[@shaochan905]

If I arrive at a friend's whilst still in the driver's seat and I stop, they can't open the doors. I go into Park mode and they still don't unlock. The only way is to wind down the windows and they open the door from the inside. How do I allow the doors to be opened from the outside? Thanks

[@JerryPanandCars]

Press unlock on the driver door to disengage central locking

How can I heat the mirror on MG4 xpower ❔❓ please

Do you have video on MG one

[@JerryPanandCars]

MG One is not available in New Zealand :(

[@GF-mf7ml]

So the door only lock from outside, if the door is locked you still can open from inside without unlock it.

[@JerryPanandCars]

You can open from inside when it is locked.

[@shawnfang1966]

[@jorgeroyorabadan6597]

anote que la carga se para si abres la puerta trasera del pasajero. si configuras la apertura para que se abra solo la del pasajero con el mando la carga no se para.

[@JerryPanandCars]

Interesting to know that.

[@LimaTangoFoxtrot]

6:24 I'm pretty sure that won't work if your 12-volt battery isn't working. You won't be able to start the car at all.

[@JerryPanandCars]

I meant key battery out or 12v battery failure when your vehicle can’t detect car key but then you have connected the jumper. You won’t be able to start any car if 12v battery is out that’s sure.

[@razeencp]

The central locking system on MG one is very weired
