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).

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.
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
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?
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❤
@@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?
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?
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.
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
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.
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?
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 ?
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?
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.
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.
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 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 🫡
Hi, where do you recommend putting the key when driving? If I have it in my pocket, the car will write while driving that it does not see the key and the alarm will go off. Can the alarm be turned off?? Can you test it?
@ just keep the key inside the car and you should be fine. No reason for the car to give you warning if the key is inside. Otherwise go back to dealer to check the keys
7:01 hello just got the mg4ev. Wanna ask about central locking. Is it possible to disable the system, when we open the door it can not be open if its lock. A little bit unsafe if having a child opening when driving. Thanks.
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.
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
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
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.

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👍🏻
Thanks for the support!
Thank you, Jerry, that's a helpful pre-buy rundown.
Hi Jerry. Thanks heaps for all of your work on the MG4 info. Awesome and clear explanations!!
Thank you so much for the support!
Fantastic videos!! Thank you so very much - they are pitched perfectly. We are loving our MG Excite.

Great content and very helpful - much more use than the modest manual for my new X power - thanks Jerry
Thanks for the support!
I just picked up my new Excite here in Melbourne, your channel is fantastic. Thanks Jerry!
Congratulations!🥂
Great content, you're a boss, looking forward other videos.
Very informative. Using it almost 2 years, and didn't know any of this....
Great video, thanks Jerry. I've shared it with a friend who has borrowed my Trophy
Thanks for your support.
A great video, Jerry. This is the way !! 👍
Thanks for the support!
Thank you so much. My sales person didn't go through any of this
Great video, very informative. Thank you!
Thankyou very informative 👍

Thanks. I think you just need to have the air con to air from outside and it will be fine.
@@JerryPanandCarsI was thinking if there’s a way to keep the AC on while motor is ON/OFF?

Where would the AC get power from?

Looking for one on how to put info screens to night mode thanks for the vids
The screen tutorial will be uploaded in a few weeks :)

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.
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.
Always brilliant as usual. Is there any way to save personal settings on my MG4 Trophy?
Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately there is no function to have multiple driver selection on the MG4.

Thanks for the information. Glad it is sorted now.
Thank you. Is the key charging pad on the mark 4 SE (long range)?Looks different.
It is the same across all MG4 as far as I know.
Cool, focused video 👍 One question left for me - how about windows closing with the remote control. Is this function available?
Thanks for the comment and support. I have tried this but it looks like the MG4 does not come with this feature :(
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.
Thanks for that. You are correct. Yes, it is not available in base spec (Excite in NZ/AU) either.

Registration, battery under the package, range, power or dealer information
Hi Jerry, just got my MG4 Comfort Long Range. I can't seem to find the button to fold my side mirrors. Can you help me out?
Push the switch down

I don't think so.
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.
I believe so. That’s mechanical unlock with no power needed.
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.
Do you have video on MG one
MG One is not available in New Zealand :(

Engage child lock
Does the car not supposed to lock itself if I forget to lock and left with the key?
Nope.
Thanks Jerry!
Do the settings stay when you turn the car off? I’ve heard some settings reset to factory?
Things related to central locking doesn’t reset. Thanks
What's the point of having tail gate button since it releases as long as if key is with you
@@udayanvelayudhan3540 every car has it
One more question ? İs there any way to close all Windows automatically when we locked the car ? 🙏🏻😅🙈
Unfortunately not available for NZ spec when I tried.
NO.1
Hey how I can close the windows from remote chei I have MG 4 2023 model ‘ I hope you can tell me? 😉Thank you
MG4 doesn’t have this feature
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.
Updated by MG for MY2023 I believe. Yeah, the 2022 doesn’t have that.

Interesting to know that.
How can I heat the mirror on MG4 xpower ❔❓ please
th-cam.com/video/jP7jrlgmeds/w-d-xo.html&si=HTtc0XkK7EIGlu93
Rear windscreen demister button will heat the mirror.
Thank you!
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?
I didn't get the questions sorry.
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
Press unlock on the driver door to disengage central locking
@@JerryPanandCars Thank you!
So the door only lock from outside, if the door is locked you still can open from inside without unlock it.
You can open from inside when it is locked.
Thank you. Now I know I can safely escape if I get locked in the boot by a Mafia member.
Thanks! Hope you remember this video in that situation:)
As long as they kindly leave you the key 😂

Yep, we have had some Renault used cars on my last job. I definitely enjoyed the number 2 and 4 features.
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.
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.
The central locking system on MG one is very weired
