MG Astor iSMART App - Smartphone and Key Control (Activation, All Features Explained, Tips) 

Hello sir what is the range of mobile application

Can be used from anywhere in the world!

Bhai ko accha laga isse accha kuch nahi ho sakta ! Thanks bhai Comment Karne k liye 😍😍

I also plan to drive a MT someday 😄 So glad to know you found my video useful! And thanks to you for subscribing! Today new video on Astor coming soon 😀😀

@@prakashparadisee Reason of booked MT is the power transmission will be in my hand..just 1 thing to ask, can i customize the headlamps to halogen ?

Yes headlamp can be customised just make sure you don't cross the permissable watt! MT has better control no doubt

So glad to hear that 😍🤗 will try to make more informative videos like this

Harrier is big in size looks dominating on road! But what Hector majorly lacks is - good cabin quality and features and the most important thing is that - it doesnt have 4 disc brakes! For me it's a bummer! CVT is relaxed engine no doubt about it! But it gives better mileage! If you want a KTM like engine Turbo is the one! Also harrier being bigger and heavier will feel more grounded on road! But there is also a question of Diesel engine vs Petrol engine! If you have never driven a Diesel engine then let me tell you they feel heavy 🙂 Petrol feels lighter I am not sure if I was able to reply to you in a promising manner but i have tried to put all the points in front of you! Feel free to reply 😄

A very good and informative video. Well explained with demo. Thanks for sharing

Thank you brother thank you for appreciating!!

I am so happy to receive your review about my content!😀😀 I am sorry to let you know that there is no way to completely shut it down! We need to turn it off everytime and it's annoying! Hoping to see an update from MG soon in this regard!

Thank you Bhai! Much appreciated

Thanks for appreciation!! 😊😄

Thanks bhai ☺️

Thank you for appreciating 🙂🙂

Thank you for appreciating my efforts 😄

Your welcome! For sure i will make a video upon that as well! Frankly speaking i have not figured out those features yet so will have to do it first🤭

Sure sir please make it and thanks for making such informative videos keep going on. !! 🙏

Your welcome and Thank a lot for keeping me motivated! If you can ask few friends of your to subscribe i will be thankful! 😊😊 I just need to reach 1000 subscribers as soon as possible 🤭

You will have to login again as it automatically logos out!

You can reinstall the app on your mobile phone and also check if there is network in your car! If there is no network then you need to update your software and even if that doesn't bring connectivity in your car! I have made a video on network, you can follow the steps!!

Thank you brother!

@@prakashparadisee its been 4 days with car loving it 😍 check my delivery vlog

Thanks for appreciation! No the base varient doesn't have these features! I would say i20 has these advanced features in this price range!!

Considering the AUTONOMOUS Level 2 features and over-all driving of the car ...it's a good buy! When we think about 21 lakh we need to consider what's in the market and that's how we can calculate it's value!!

I am elated to know that you found my video useful 😃

It would be awesome if you subscribe to my channel so that I may reach 1000 subscribers soon!!

Are you facing issues in calling a person with Astor voice assistant. Mine is greatly bugged. Android Auto works much much better.

Yes i don't use the Astor voice assistant! Google is the best

Thanks jaspal bhai

Well i do use some features in the app! If i have to go for a long distance driving, i check the tyre psi at night to ensure that the pressure is good for next day! Few days back i had kept some important documents in the car! Even when i was not near by i kep on checking if the doors are closed or not!! So in some situation it is helpful! Also when the temperature will rise i am sure i will turn the car ac on from this app before going on a journey!

Hello Mahesh! Thanks for appreciation!! Yes speakers can be replaced and i will definitely recommend some good speakers to you! Just give me two days time 🙂

Also please factor in a compact sub woofer. Point is I'm moving to Bombay from Bangalore and am in unfamiliar territory.

No!

Thank you 😊

So glad you liked it 🙂🙂 Smart, Sharp , Savvy Congress with this feature! 😎 Super and Style doesn't come with this 😞

@@prakashparadisee thanks. Tbh didn't expect response this quick. Subscribed.

I have put all the notification on silent except RU-vid comments notification ...so i am always fast in responding 🤭🤭😆

Hi Prakash, does the Smart variant have lesser features in the iSmart app? or it does have the same as other higher variants?

No no there are no question which is silly! Every new thing needs explanation! So this discharge warning comes when you turn on your vehicle but don't turn on your ignition! At that time the MG tries to let you know that the battery is getting discharged For 2-3 times that is not an issue but doing this thing for a prolonged time will ruin your vehicle battery! The battery in the car is big and powerful and replacement coat is high .. That's the reason they warn you so that you may use it nicely

@@prakashparadisee Thanks a lot..Actually this is the exact event that happened yesterday..Being a new car, family members were hopping in, turning on the car (mainly to check the AI assistant 😀)..This happened for 4-5 times..It is my first car, so I don't know much about the technicalities..Thanks a lot for clearing the things up for me... Subscribed...

Yep even i received this warning when i was trying to see what are the features of the car! No problem You can ask me anything I will clear your doubt 😊😔 And thank you so much for supporting 😃

One device at a time bro!

The Sharp has few missing features as compared to savvy! Car gps location doesnt work 100% Yes you can receive alerts!

HVAC is the option you have to select Feel free to revert

Phone mein notification ko band karna better hai

​​@@prakashparadisee isamrt app mein GPS tracking kar sakte kya bro, i dont want to track my car to my location ya route , can we disable this feature

Mobile se car start ho sakti hai Aur remote se horn bajaya ja sakta hai!

Smart and above

Is your car having network?? Is it parked in basement? If not then just reset the car system and reinstall the app! It will start working

Not possible! One will get sign out

There are few feature difference in top model and smart! This feature is getting upgraded everyday! Its still not in the best form!

Yes i will! There are points on which i have to make a video based on my viewers recommendation and yours is the 5th point 😀😀

Ye manual mein bhi hai bas AC on off feature nai hai

I think i have turned it off ! So it doesn't! You can always turn it in by going in the settings! Or by pressing lock and unlock button together for 15 sec

HI NAVEEN! Get the phone number updated on MG ! once done you need to factory reset everything and start a fresh! All done!

Yes i have faced that issue! Actually the issue is jio network problem which doesn't need any fix! It gets fine on its own!

@@prakashparadisee ohh okay

Yes brother it does!

Nope

No the car won't get open when you turn on the climate control! In locked position the car ignition will turn on

Hello! Thanks for appreciation!! Yes you can turn on the car from America also! Provided your car is kept at a place where the internet connection is good and your mobile phone is also have a good internet connection

@@prakashparadisee Need one honest opinion. In between seltos, creta and astor, which one shall I buy? looking for CVT top end version and right now biased towards astor. Is astor the best pick? auto dimming mirror, telescopic steering, wireless charging, etc are not a concern for me.

The fresh look of the car is no doubt a welcome to the car industry! If you are too much concerned about mileage then either you will have to choose a diesel or dct If your driving technique is proper you will fetch a good mileage from MG ASTOR the driving dynamics and interior quality is major edge of the Astor . If you are concerned about its reliability then let me tell you that is also good too!

@@prakashparadisee Thanks.I am 67 year old and my usage is very less. I did around 37K miles in my earelier XUV500 in 8 years before selling it. So mileage is not a big concern for me. I want safety. So based on your various videos, I have decided to go for the astor. I already booked one today.

Safety wise! Astor is no doubt a better option! I believe you will like the CVT and you will definitely get amazed to see the technology inside the car! I am confident that we have come to a right conclusion! My father who is 64 years old really like the ingress and getting exit from Astor as it's more comfortable than a Sedan! I am hopeful you will love it too 😍😃

You need to reset ! In setting - general setting & there is option of reset the infotainment system! Your problem should get solved!

@@prakashparadisee already tried this still the problem

@@prakashparadisee thanks for reply it was an issue from Mg server now solved

No information was given however as per my information it's for 3 years! But i am still not 100% sure

Aap uninstall and reinstall! It will start

Brother! I am a big fan of EV! If your budget permits you should definitely go for the new EV! It's really good for people who dont need long distance driving cars! Anything around 350 is good for this vehicle! It's a cost saver! Also this doent need to be changed after 15 years so just a major cost of battery will come and you will be ready for another great year! I wish I could get hands on MG EV for a month and i could show how can you easily live with it and will be a cost saver too! The upcoming EV won't be as advanced as this one! So if your budget permits go for this one! You won't regret!! Cost free and super cheap per kilometre cist

@@prakashparadisee but I will miss the Adas features, will it come in the future by any software update because I think all the radars and cameras are present.

Call the customer care and they will do it for you immediately!!!

Let me do it and check the same

Hi, Nope you can't do that! Once you login it will get automatic log out from other device

It's a good car,only issue is resale value, which is lower compared to its other competitors

Hey vikas! Tried to fina a way to do it! But i didn't get any! The only thing you can do is turn on the ac before you enter the vehicle!

iSMART connection comes with Smart , Sharp and Savvy So the answer is Yes 😊 All the features will be available in it!

Haan ek do baar maine bhi aisa situation face kiya hai! Let me tell you few things about it! 1. Agar aapki car open mein hai jahan par network accha hai then aapko saara data asaani se mil jaayega but suppose aapki car kahin underground khadi hai aur wahan network weak hai then aapko data sahi se nahi mil payega! 2. Kabhi kabhi Jo humne response send Kiya hota hai wo car ko milta hi nahi due to our phone low connection in that case also data sahi se nahi aayega! I hope you understand my point!

@@prakashparadisee haan ham thoda low network connectivity area me rehte hai😓. But jaise ham open roads pe hote hai aur phone car dono me signal full hota hai to kabhi kbhar ye connect nahi. But car jaise hi start karte hai kahi ruk ke vapis to connect ho jaata hai. To shayad mere yahan ka network connectivity weak hai isliye hoga. Thanks for explaining😄

Yes if you buy model smart or sharp!

I have Sharp MT Ex. The engine start stop and AC on/off not showing in my app.

Bro as of now network issue is there! It will get resolved on its own!!

Uninstalling and reinstalling should work

Bro they should have it! Not sure why they missed it! And there is one major missing thing which i feel should have been there - Auto sunroof close on door lock and rain detection! It's an important feature! 🥺

@@prakashparadisee yep buddy🥺🥺do you think it will come with update soon in application 🤔🤔

No bro! We will get a relay as an after market accessories

No but there are few features which only work in top model!

No it won't! It needs network to work!!

You just need to disconnect the last paired device and then connect with new phone! And if in case the pre connected phone is not nearby then you can just connect with new phone

Some features except turning on the AC feature

You will logout from the other

Sure let me check and get back to you! 😊😊

I just searched everywhere but couldn't find that! I am sorry

No bro! Both devices need internet to communicate with each other! It's not possible otherwise

@@prakashparadisee Internet on the car is not required, we can use digital key to unlock the car and start the car with bluetooth. i was able to do it. open the app with netwrok to skip the vehicle status and then keep app use Bluetooth key without the internet also

Internet on car is required for the information sharing which is called as vehicle check! What you are talking is a complete different thing! That's remote access which is run via bluetooth. The Bluetooth don't need internet But scanning needs internet

Nope!

But we can use our car without the key by making our phone as a key

Unfortunately no It starts from mid level

@@prakashparadisee Ohh alright, thanks brother 👍

Network issue brother! It will take some time!

@@prakashparadisee does it also happen with you. Also does it get solved by its own?

Yes! It happens with me as well! And it automatically gets resolved! We don't need to do anything 😊

Hey Harshit. Does it got resolved? If yes, how? For me, the scanning & digital key is not working.

@@prateeksawhney97 Yes it got resolved on it's own in a week.

Kitna bhi dur! Bas internet connection car and phone mein hona chahiye apna apna !

@@prakashparadisee Thanku sir ☺️

Maine es liye puchh kyuki usme sayd bluetooth key v hai. Na

Your welcome 😁😁

@@rajput_raushn yes Bluetooth option bhi hai but ac wala internet se chalega

Wow! Ye mujhe nahi pata tha! Sounds like a nice feature! Thank you bro for telling this ☺️

@@prakashparadisee ye b dikhana nxt video me 😁😁

Haan pakka 😃

Yes

Sorry not sure

Only Astor has that feature! I am sorry you can't find it for GLOSTER 🙂

Above smart

You can use it from anywhere in you have internet connection!!

Yes 😍😄

Yes the key won’t work now! We will have to wait for MG to do something about the issue

No we can't

iSMART app is available in Smart Sharp Savvy ( sharp o)

@@prakashparadisee can we turn the ac on in all models using app to get it cooled?

Today or tomorrow i am going to take it! Yes it's important!

Yes!! Engine can be turned on By phone 😁

@@prakashparadisee from outside?

@Read This Comment 👇🏻 i dont think its valid.....kia offers the same through key by preeeing two buttons simultaneously

Yes from outside you can!

Not from anywhere! Only you can open and close from anywhere

Hai bhai! Ac on karte waqt car ka engine bhi on ho jaata hai jo ki 10 mins Tak on rehta hai!

@@prakashparadisee 👍thank you bhaiya

Welcome Bhai

Yes bro! Engine will turn on automatic when you turn on AC!! Did you try that brother

Whoa...thanks man....works

Your welcome bro 😀😀😀 consider subscribing brother! Also share with maybe your MG GUYS? 🤭🤭☺️

You mean the network is not detecting? 1.Try to remove your battery negative one and reinstall the same tightly! Or 2. Press the home button! First phisical button for 15 secs and leave it once the unit starts! If your issue gets resolved do let me know 🙂

It's the 1.3 turbo :)

It's the 1.3 turbo :)

Reset The System?

@@prakashparadisee deleted the app, reinstalled, didn’t work. Tried deleting the info and start afresh but doesn’t get deleted and asks to contact customer service. Customer service asked me to contact service centre. Service centre want me to take the vehicle as they are unable to help remotely. Maybe have to slug it around till second service and then have it fixed at the service centre

Yeah bro! Going to service center every now and then and wasting time is not possible! So it’s better to wait till second service and get it fixed!

Very easy - service center par jakar hoga! Aapki car ka registration and I'd proof required hoga

There is an update coming

@@prakashparadisee how did u play games inside astor ?

I didn't get you! 😔

@@prakashparadisee sorry i was asking how to use configure vehicle setting under my profile

I will have to show you how it's done! I am going to make another question answer video! Going to include your question for sure! Feel free to chat with me!

@@prakashparadisee Thanks. Let me know once done.. Also have been facing issues with Jio Savaan.. Lots of issues with infotainment system I guess

I have a way to make it fine! In setting factory reset it! I am confident it will solve many issues 😊

@@prakashparadisee Okay.. But its the 2nd time its happened.. Really pissed off..

I can imagine your frustration! No one likes issues in new product! What i can say is - it's all software issue which will be resolved with new over the air updates 😀

Smart Sharp Savvy

Thanks brother. Really liked your videos and have subscribed your channel too.. Have booked Sharp CVT 1.5. Is it the best as I have never drived automatic transmission cars

I am so happy to know this bro! CVT is a great option! You will really love how automatic car works! Tomorrow I am going to make a video on CVT engine! Already made one on DCT and Turbo! It will help you keep your engine in good working condition forever 😃😃

@@prakashparadisee Thank you so much brother. Waiting for your video on CVT. Earlier I booked smart CVT but then I upgraded to Sharp CVT. Hope I made the right decision

It's a superb option! You will really like the 360 cam, electric seat adjustment and lane keep assist You will never regret

@prakash

The boot needs to be closed more tightly ! I face similar issue if i just close it easily! Also if this doesn't work there must be the boot sensor issue!!

@@prakashparadisee thanks, let me try doing that.

@@prakashparadisee also one more thing.. after locking the car. The boot won't open right ?. For me am seeing like ,even the car is locked. I can open the boot. Is that anything like, since my key is near me, the boot is opening Or have not closed the boot properly.

Actually when the car key is with us! This thing happens! It happens so flawlessly that we feel there is a problem!

It's termed as HVAC you need to tap on that

@@prakashparadisee still not getting the option

Can you connect with me on instagram? I am prakashtheindian

@@prakashparadisee im also facing the same issue only unlock car option available
