Mg ZS Android , Sweden Keyless functions and defrosting+HVAC+setting temperature.still works. Did an errand without the key fob. So, quite happy even without the seat heating.

The charging part wit the cogwheel only has percentage and scheduling of charging. Battery heating is missing.

In Sweden MG ZS EV Luxury. In the old version I had battery preheating. That's gone now. Heating seats via iSmart has never existed. Very strange that the SW is so different in different markets. Apart from left/right side driving, I think the cars are the same. It would be interesting to...

For me in Sweden, the possibility of remotely heating seats have never been there. And is still missing.?

It works, but is there anything new in terms of functions?

My favourite winter setting is "windscreen and feet". 20 degrees and fan rather low after a while. No misting and comfy. The middle part, especially the openings in the middle are awfully annoying, but might be good in summer. Got the car in September...

The trip meter shows kWh/10km. Now in winter I'm getting 1.7kwh for slower driving and 2.2 at 110km/h. More for really short trips. Normal and expected. If I remember, the preheating was 6kw and not 6kwh. It was probably doing more than just heating the battery. I think others with better...

In cold Sweden it's a habit to have wipers poking out so they won't get stuck in ice. I was a good boy and did put them in service position. Next day I was just checking something and hit the Start button... My bonnet is also scratched! I can't imagine a car that won't be scratched eventually ?

I don't really understand the point of the battery heating. Unless you are in a hurry to fast charge at optimum speed within half an hour, then it's just a waste of energy. The consumption gain when driving must be very small compared with the energy put in for the heating. Or is there some use...

Hi! Just wanted to remind you of the vehicle hotspot function in the Trophy Connect (called "Luxury" in Sweden). If you forget your phone, it might be good to have an old one in the card without sim-card and just connect through the vehicle hotspot. The other day, I forgot my phone at home...

I have the new version 1.1.8 on Android. I used the preheating a while this morning. It used about 6kw for 15 min, but I didn't notice any decreased consumption when driving 200km afterwards (-2°C). The average was 2,1kw/100km. Mostly 110km/h. By the way - no errors.

I have the same setup. I see the warning, but fortunately no sound. Did you find any way to clear the warning?

Same error in Swedish version. It cut off the charging this night at 65% instead of the preset 80%. Never happened before! Just now I tried to charge and it worked. However error message is still there.

My Swedish connected ZS, which I got 1st of September does it too. But 2019 was a happier year, wasn't it? This feature doesn't bother me much. I will wait until the 1 year service, if nothing else pops up.

The special torx you need are expensive and hard to find. However, a small flat screwdriver will fit "on the side" and do the job too. Worked for me.
