    Speed recognition can't be disabled

    I think the S5 speedo is pretty accurate. We have a local speedwatch group and have SiDs at various places (not all the time as the SiD is moved around). At 20 and 30 mph speeds, the speedo is spot on. My E-Pace speedo read 10% over at a SiD indicated speed of 30mph. I've been told that the SiD...

    MGS5 12V battery dead

    Yes, mine did this again yesterday morning. It's preceded by the "USB Recognition Failed" message on the centre screen on start up, then the radio getting stuck on one station, then eventually a battery drain. I have the car booked in for tomorrow for an investigation, but since everything has...

    EV Chargers

    I'm on EDF's GoElectric Jan27 version and pay 26p peak, 9p off-peak. Gas is fixed at 6p. The combined standing charge is £1/day though!! Looks like EDF are also doing daytime smart charging now. You get off-peak rates for all the electricity you use whenever the car is plugged in and charging...

    MGS5 in the wild?

    I crossed paths with a white one yesterday when we were going on the A285 from Halnaker towards the A27. First one I've seen around home since I got the car in August.

    Screen brightnes

    I did try the dark theme, which I think is OK, except for the map. However, after I left it in the dark theme and my wife drove it like that, she demanded I change it back 😁.

    USB Recognition Failed

    Unfortunately not. If the error has been displayed and a [music] stick is inserted, the music plays but the radio is still stuck. According to the thread on the MG4 forum, it's most likely a DAB problem.

    USB Recognition Failed

    That's correct, nothing at all plugged into any of the usb sockets.

    USB Recognition Failed

    Has anyone else had this error with the S5? It's not related to anything plugged into the USB sockets, but rather a problem with the DAB radio. See below from the MG4 forum: I've had this twice now, i.e. get the message, then radio freezes. After the first time I did the dis/re connect -ve...

    Screen brightnes

    Mine has been remembering both the day and night settings, except for the other night when the screen was daytime bright but the slider was at zero. Touching the slider did change/dim the screen though.

    Strange new warning sounds and from radio

    Managed to record the sounds today going through the A3/M25 roadworks. You can see in the video that the speed camera warning icon comes up on the bottom right of the screen when the sounds are heard. Not on the video, but if the speed camera icon was already displayed, it would disappear when...
