The dongle has been plugged in 24 hours a day for well over a year without problem (using ABRP, which I've now deleted). The alarm goes off shortly after the car is locked when the app is still connected. I believe it's because the app tries to get info from the OBD again and the car thinks it...

Car Scanner Pro has recently been added to Apple CarPlay (and Android Auto I think), so it's possible to see your percentage charge on your infotainment screen now. I have a problem with my pre-facelift ZS though - shortly after turning off and locking the car the alarm sounds, unless I...

I have a warning of a fault with the TPMS on one wheel. Instead of pressure being shown as a number in white there are orange dashes. Has anyone had this and worked out how to fix this?

I’ve seen a few posts in this forum from people who’ve tried to charge MGs at eurotunnel in Calais and been unable to start the car afterwards. Here’s one of them …. Eurotunnel Nightmare Charge!!!! and a quick question!

I’m using this one with ABRP maps and an iPhone (on a 2021 ZS excite). https://amzn.eu/d/7tF17dC

When I got my car I tried several different cables and none got CarPlay to work. When I found a genuine Apple one it worked straight away.

The front passenger door on my 21 reg ZS Excite has just stopped working. It’s was fine till I got it back from the dealer coding a new spare key, but I assume that’s just coincidence? Is it something that’s covered by warranty in a car just over 2 years old?

I’ve got a 2021 Excite. I live in a village in the country with no streetlights. The headlights are fine, looking forward, but when I want to do a 90 degree left at a junction I can’t see if there’s anything in the road before I turn. I’ve been driving for 40 years and never known anything...

When I booked my car in for a service last week the dealer told me they would be updating the screen software due to a recall for an issue with screens freezing.

turns out it can be driven off without the fob, if it was let in ready mode. See my post later in the thread.

It’s a 2021 (71 reg) excite with the pop up charging port. So if it’s left unlocked in ready mode (you’ve just pulled up and got straight out) it can’t be driven away unless the fob is in the car?

I have the ZS Excite. I don’t think the app works with the Excite.

I’ve only had my car a week. This morning I rushed for a train and half way to london couldn’t remember pressing the off button or locking the doors. What happens if you get out of the car, taking the key fob with you, but not turning off or locking the car? Does it just sit there till it goes...
