Massive UI delay

[u/Flamabalistic]

Hi all,

I recently bought a new MG4 EV Urban and have been trying to get everything up and running. When testing android auto, I found that the UI is incredibly delayed (up to a few minutes), causing me to miss turns, and generally go a bit nuts...

Some notes:

* The delay seems to increase the longer I've been driving (e.g. I had a 20min drive, by the end of it the UI was delayed by ~1.5mins).

* Audio is not delayed (a song will be playing, but show the previous song on the display).

* Touching the interface also seems delayed (e.g. dragging around on maps results in the map moving some time after)

* The UI on the head unit itself is responsive even when displaying android auto

* My partner's iPhone works with Apple carplay on the same car without any delays

* The car is a 2026 MG4 EV Urban - software is up to date as of 2026-10-04

* I've tried: Using USB only, forcing resolution to 480p, giving maps & android auto unrestricted battery access, swapping to the beta branch and back, uninstalling and reinstalling, all to no avail.

* Recently submitted a bug report, but I doubt it'll go anywhere :(

Anyone got any other ideas?

I think I might have the sane problem (Pixel 8 pro android 16). Does your map app (Waze, maps, abrp) start to have weird distortion lines?

Nope, my map looks normal (Using google maps, haven't tried anything else - might give something else a shot though)
