Frequently asked questions

Will a dash cam fit behind the MG MG4’s rear-view mirror?

Most compact dash cams tuck behind the mirror mount. Fit the mount on the passenger side of the mirror where the wiper actually sweeps.

Does the MG MG4 need parking mode?

Only if you want 24/7 protection while parked. The battery choice on EVs matters. Parking mode draws from the 12V accessory battery, not the traction pack; a low-voltage cutoff on the hardwire kit protects the 12V from a slow discharge over a weekend away. Plug-in cams only record when the ignition is on.

Where does the hardwire tap go on the MG MG4?

The fusebox on the driver’s side (UK RHD). A hardwire kit with a low-voltage cutoff taps a suitable fuse, and its cutoff protects the 12V from long-term drain.

Does the MG MG4 interfere with ADAS calibration?

Modern MG cars pair their windscreen ADAS camera with the mirror pod; keep the dash cam and its cable at least 30 mm clear of the camera lens to avoid an ADAS warning.

One thing many buyers miss

Sensor quality beats headline resolution. A Sony STARVIS-class 1440p sensor on an unlit UK B-road picks up more useful plate detail than a bargain 4K sensor that runs out of dynamic range at night. Pair either with a high-endurance microSD card rated for continuous write.
