@nprofile1q... The same is true of the MG4. It's a real afterthought. The saving grace is that the car supports android auto, so getting it to use VLC is pretty straight forward. There's also a streaming player with android auto support called non-stop music that means we can weirdly listen to Cape Town's Fine Music Radio while driving around the north of Scotland.
We bought one of those little USB dongles off aliexpress so that the phone auto-connects to the car without having to plug in a cable
