How to DIY ceramic coat your car - Cheap and easy paint protection! MG4 Tesla EV water beading
Buried deep in my computer was this video on ceramic coating our new MG4 back in October 2023 - better late than never! A great project to take on over a weekend.
There's two groups of people who shouldn't watch this - those who don't care about looking after your car, and those who are way too obsessive about detailing. For normal people though, you may get some handy tips about how to DIY ceramic coat your new (or old!) car without paying $000's to someone else.

Australia EV car insurance through the roof! Tesla Model 3 RWD doubled - How to reduce premiums!
Hey man thanks for the video, Would like to ask perhaps if you have the answer, I use carlinkit aibox, i already tested to make it delay start 20sncd, Sometimes it worked, sometimes its not and i need to replug it and wait for a looooong time Do you have any idea to solve this? I already change to 10scn 18 snd 5scond.. all not working
I hate black interiors & I don't know why Australian importers specify black in a country with extreme temperatures; even in Tasmania we don't have snow & ice in winter for black to be an advantage. I've seen overseas models with other interior colour choices so if this is all the importers will give you I ain't getting one. I saw one video where the tester thought black on black was upmarket....rubbish, black with cream upholstery is upmarket! I intensely dislike computer like screens stuck on a dash like a saw thumb. I've seen those screens in an integrated dash design & figure that the current trend allows designers not to think too hard about styling the dash properly. My best mate has just told me they've ordered a 77 in white & I can only wish him the best of luck. I'll stick to my solid Saab 9-5 for the foreseeable future in dark blue & beige (real) leather.
It looks amazing!! There is a kit on aliexpress that replaces the interior light by an integrated dash camera that connects to the light cable. But... Then you have no light :)
Great video, I’ve brought one for my s14 haha
Keep the S14 never sell it - like how I regret selling my R33 GTR Vspec for nothing in 2010 :(
@ yeah it’s here to stay 😂 just had a full refresh, if only we knew what the prices would do…
Great unit and review - I bought 3 and installed into 05 Hilux, 08 Forester and 05 Liberty. It’s fast boot up 10-15secs into CarPlay, wireless Carplay and Android Auto, Volume knob, front and rear usbs, Fast radio tuner and very good sound quality and snappy performance with no bloat ware. Free reverse camera too, a cheap, easy and reliable way to bring old cars up to date.

Thank you, hope it was useful for you!
Thanks for the informative video. I have the same problem with my new Ottocast adapter so I will be ordering a Carlinkit adapter now.
Yeah I bought an ottocast and couldn't get it to work, but the carlinkit 5.0 worked perfectly as in this video.
Hey, nice video. What do you think of the audio quality?
Audio quality is great - certainly no complaints. Only running aftermarket front & rear speakers; no amplifier and no subwoofer.
Can you stream Netflix, Disney+, etc??
Not on this exact unit, but I am getting a different unit in a few weeks to test out which says it can do netflix, youtube etc and download other android streaming apps. Will see how it works and upload a review on that unit when I can!

How to install the mg 4 headlight modification sir ???
What headlight modification?
Nice job thanks
Mate is it compatible with Corolla 2000/2001 double din?, I mean Toyota corolla ascent ae112 1.8L which has sold in AU market with rounded head light.
And do I need this extra plug? Very new in car world, just bought a used Corolla 3 days ago.
Well if it's a standard double din it should fit. Remove the old head unit and have a look at the main connector, 99% sure you'll want to buy the toyota-to-ISO plug that will suit.
I think you can feed it into a sunsynk inverter with a buffer battery would work

G'day Tim Great work Am struggling to contact Alex I just attempted to create my first facebook account Suspended before I finished signing up Can you help please?

Hi, sorry about the late hour I have a MG4 like yours, I just watched your video regarding the connection of the Dash Cam. I would like to ask you, if I don't use the 2Pin fuse adapter for the foreseeable future, can I still connect everything like you did? although I imagine it's not a job done properly... I'm telling you this because in the space of a week my car was all over the passenger side... so I decided to install the Dash. Could you tell me how I get power for sentry mode? Thank you in advance for all your understanding
Hello Mate Why did you removed back spoiler.. Any warranty concerns?
This video was done just after I had the car delivered - in Australia the Excite 51 has no wing as standard. I did add the wing on in a later video.
If you want the spoiler surely it’s better to just buy one which comes with it as standard?
Some of us prefer LFP chemistry and this is only available in the base model
Hi, thanks for the video. I have installed the headunit yesterday, but I cant seem to adjust the reverse camera lines. Did u find a way to adjust the lines?
For my non metallic white mg4, I figured I don't need to spend heaps for ceramic kits for shine. My priority is protective shell achieved with premium wax so I got the autoglym uhd wax. Applied a thin coating then hand buff on the day I got my car. A week later another thin application. Then every month I just use autoglym 's ceramic easy spray on for shine. Very happy with autoglym products. Proper British car care for a British car that's made in China 😅 But for the black plastic trims I use meguiar's ultimate protectant. And for the easily scratched piano black, I use meguiar's plastix. Works wonders but be sure light coats then buff quickly before it dries.
"Proper British car care for a British car that's made in China" lol! Sounds like you take car of your car, which is the only thing that's important.
Amazing thanks for the video Anything that may be tough on the lungs during the process?
Probably best done in a reasonably well ventilated space, and maybe wear some disposable gloves during application?
Are you treating the top of the rear lights? That plastic sure looks like it won’t age well on the MG4
Nice one, looks great, I'm to lazy to spend that much time, I just do the wash section, then use spray on speed wax, fast and shiny, for me that's a good enough look, considering my older cars were all 2nd hand and had paint damage from previous owners, now having a new MG4 with immaculate paint is already a bonus 😊
Great video. Thanks for sharing. 😊similar process to what I did. I did take the covers off the wheels to decontaminate them and the alloys hidden behind. Most Ceramic coats - despite what the dealer says - will also do plastic and glass. So it works great on those wheel covers , alloys and all the plastic trim - including lights. An afternoon’s investment in the paint was worth the effort for me - and maintaining the car takes even less time than before. The shine is awesome.
12345678 doesn't work for me. Any other password hints?
Try 88888888 and let me know if it works!
@bozugarage yes thank you.
Hi Tim I just want to say thank you for such a well explained video tutorial. I am visually impaired and was able to hook one up in my wife’s MG4 Essence.
Glad it was helpful, please reach out if there's any other help you need in future! 😍
我正打算拆掉这该死的尾翼,这个世界太疯狂了
i do have this eonon xx3 model. Can this x3 use external DSP to make sound more crisp?
ah... honest answer, I don't know! Maybe it's my old ears but the SQ it puts out is certainly acceptable to me! You can definitely add aftermarket amplifiers which would add a lot of volume.
What does the stock music player look like? Is it better to suited to driving then the android units one? Does play from the next folder automatically with music from usb?
To be honest... I've yet to even use the music player! Because wireless android auto connects automatically and seamlessly, I just use spotify (to stream) or tunein (for digital radio) from android auto, the interface is better than any stock/built in media interface. I've had a lot of android units, and even with new launchers I never found one that I liked. However since the stock linux interface is really streamlined and simple, the media player would follow the same style.
Thank you for the review regardless. Please do a walk through video to maybe of the features thinking of buying this one also The main reason I wanted android one was because it wireless seems to be go hard on your battery and wired only barely charges it but maintains it so what's the point if I i have to charge to use wireless android auto better off getting something that can run android independently however android doesn't seem to suit driving quite well in my opinion.
Updated the car stereo in my old Nissan S15 with a new Eonon X3! Want one? tidd.ly/41x8cyh (Eonon X3 official website with free shipping!)
I wish you would have shown how to change between phones
I would, if I knew! When we both got in the car, the carlinkit usually connects to my android phone, not my wife's iphone.
Great timing, you uploaded this right when I needed it! Probably grabbing this on xmas sale. Gotta check the trim fits my old corolla !😅
Helpful info, please do a vid on installing the reverse camera.
i'm also gonna need the video for this !
Thanks, works well. Only is when swapping between phones have to go in and reconnect via Bluetooth. It only seems to remember one phone. This kind of defeats the purpose of wireless and a real pain as my wife and I are always swapping cars. Is there a setting I am missing? We both have Apple phones.
Hmm... the unit I'm using remembers my android and my wife's phone just fine. (Just make sure you've forgetten the factory MG bluetooth connection on your phones)
Awesome car for the money. Hopefully they bring a refresh with the bigger, faster screen Chinese models get to Australia soon. Reckon the Essence 64 is a bit steep though, too close in price to options like the BYD Seal. 51 Excite with the LFP battery is the pick of the bunch
Super cheap EV motoring at low 30s, and the best driving small EV for sure. Bigger faster screen would be a bonus, the recently upgraded 15" screen in the BYD Atto 3 is at least twice the size of the MG4s
Great video, great commentary, was surprised you only have 1k subs, but I've dropped a sub. Looks way better now and lucky you realised about the chrome before you applied it! 😅
Thanks for the sub! I just enjoy working on cars and making vids, hopefully the occasional video helps someone out.
The one AliExpress sent me is CPC200-CP2A. I believe this is version 4, not 5. It doesn't work with my Galaxy A52 5G. It's showing Carplay, although I connected an Android phone. I haven't yet tried it with my wife's iPhone, but I bought it to work with my Android phone. A waste of $55.
Many thanks for very good video, I have similar issue on my CLK 55 AMG! 👍👍👍
Glad it helped - wish I had a CLK55 as well! Their prices are still relatively high here, but always looking.
Nice fix ill do this tomorrow thanks mate👍
Easy DIY and super satisfying to fix this tiny annoying problem
Se ha quedado increíble un saludo desde España !!!
Thanks. Is it ever useful when travelling?
Depending if you do any camping, some campsites do have 3 phase power where you can use this 5pin plug. Otherwise I just bring my tesla mobile charger, plus the 10A, 15A and 32A 5 pin plug when I'm on road trips and so far *touch wood* never had any problems
Using the cig lighter, is the car powering the dashcam when off too or does it switch off some time after the car is off ?
It should have no power when the car is off, so the dashcam turns off
does it work on bmw f15 2014???
Unsure, haven't tested it on that exact model. However because it has a lot of adjustability in the settings, it's likely to work if your car has factory wired carplay/android auto
Never heard of ALIEXPRESS, they are cheaper but are they safe?
If they don't accept PayPal then I don't trust em....
Excellent video. Followed it to connect my new Carlinkit 5.0 to my MG4 and my iPhone for apple carplay. Easy to set up thanks to your clear step by step. The only issue I’ve had in the first 48 hrs is when the system on the MG goes black once CarPlay show as connected and then tries to talk to my phone.
Interesting problem - have you made sure your iphone has forgotten/removed any bluetooth connection to the MG?
