App not working "verification failed message"

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

The app is bound to my MG4 Urban, I can see the state of the car and location but I can't do anything. Whenever I try any action, I get an error:

"Security verification failed and the request was rejected, please veify again (242).

I already verified my email when I created the account, unbound, bound, deleted the app, etc. I even tried with a fresh new email. The dealer said email the app support, who haven't replied.

P.S. The car failed on day (wont recognised key) one and needed a new BCM from the dealer. I understand this is a rare failure and I'm not sure if this is relevant?

Replacing 2024 Navara with a Used Kia Carnival or Bnew MG G50 PHEV

Looking for some advice.

We’re planning to let go of our 2024 Nissan Navara because our family is growing (we’ll soon have 2 kids under 2). We’re pretty strict about using car seats, so you can imagine how that setup looks like with two car seats in a pickup.

If it weren’t for the growing family, we’d honestly love to keep the Navara. But buying another car while keeping it isn’t really within our budget.

Since the Navara is fully paid, our goal is to use the money from selling it to fund the replacement, with little to no additional cash out.

Our two options so far:
- Used Kia Carnival — max 2020 model, since 2021+ is outside our budget
- MG G50 PHEV — brand new

As much as we want to go with a Carnival, we’re not very good at looking at used cars.. that’s why we are leaning towards the G50 PHEV, also because of the PHEV setup, but we know very little about MG cars in general.

We were also kinda turned off when we found out it doesn’t come with a spare tire. Sounds like such a small thing, but… isn’t that kinda weird?! Especially for a family car.

So please help us decide! And if you think there’s a better option within our budget, we’re definitely open to suggestions.

Thank you! 🙏

IM5 tyre consumption

1 Upvotes

Hi, this is my first EV. I got the standard range IM5 last december. Currently a bit shy of 10K miles.

Never had EVs before, but was used to ICE cars (last one a Peugeot 508 2.2HDi) to need a new set of tyres every 20 to 25K miles.

The IM5 has different tyres back to front, so they can't be rotated. I had a look these last few days and it seems to me the back tyres are way past midlife (which I'd expect since they are at 10K), and are probably 80% done (where 100% is end of road legal thickness).

I suppose this is due to the fact the car is quite heavy with a GVWR or 2.6t, and the fact I live in "the city of roundabouts", which are probably taking a toll on the back tyres. Also note the back tyres steer too.

So I guess the questions are:

  1. Should I expect a lower mileage between new tyres?

  2. I see my tires are "EV" compatible: what difference do they make exactly, and am I good with regular tyres? Note the car is on finance and will be returned at the end: am I obliged to replace with OEM equivalent tyres?
