    Is ismart always this useless

    Unfortunately I don't have a cat. Can you train pets keep tabs on the charge level?

    Public charging query

    I picked my daughter up from Heathrow yesterday. I have a Trophy SR and my journey is, by coincidence also 98m. I stopped here which is 10m from T5 (also only 6m from Royal Holloway if that's where your son is) and has a 50W CCS charge point, so may be really handy for you. I only needed at...

    headunit upgrade

    Ha ha - good luck with that 😂 So you press the steering wheel speech button. Nothing happens. You press it again. Then again, and eventually a message comes up on the screen saying "Hello, how can I help". (You can supposedly try saying "Hello MG" but I've never had that respond). Then you say...

    Charging Power - What Should I expect?

    I did my first long journey this week (320 miles each direction) in my 2024 Trophy Connect SR so had to stop a number of times to recharge. Despite choosing 150kW and 300kW charging points the car only charged a maximum of 42Kw, much of the time significantly less yet I read on some other posts...

    Ding! What was that for?

    Going along in my car (ZS EV Trophy Connect SR) occasionally it makes a 'ding' noise. No messages on the screen, no icons change, no lights flash. I haven't a clue what it's for. Does anyone else get this or know what it means?

    I have a Trophy Connect, not sure what it gives you tbh, I wouldn't bother.

    MG ZS EV - 2024 - Map updates

    I typed in my VIN number (checked it many times) and it says "No results found" How do I get the update if it won't recognise my car (2024 ZS EV)? Actually, probably not worth it since the ones to download are already 18 months out of date anyway. I don't hold out much hope of them ever being...

    Android Auto/ABRP - unable to use full screen

    It doesn't matter what other devices you use Apple for since it's the phone you connect to the car. If you prefer an app which doesn't work properly that's fine, your choice.

    Android Auto/ABRP - unable to use full screen

    ABRP was only recommended on the other thread because the user is in 'camp Apple', so refuses to use the acknowledged best mapping app. Google maps can locate EV charging stations and filter by capacity/type. Zapmap is also a nice tool for finding charging stations. Not sure why you want to...

    Android Auto/ABRP - unable to use full screen

    An alternative might be to use Google maps? Works fine on mine. I've never heard of ABRP though so can't help there.

    Radio - Scrolling Through Favourites

    And the worst thing about it is the stations list, whether favourites or not. A panel of identical grey oblongs with 3mm high lighter grey text showing......the multiplex name! Why??? Underneath that is the actual station name in 1mm high light grey text. I can only imagine the person who...

    Help in fog

    I don't think they have one of those. Mine worked quite well at first though it's an odd way round, auto-high beam. If you have it set to dipped beam it will auto-high-beam if it thinks it's safe. Other cars I've driven only auto-dip after you have manually set it to high. Anyway, during Summer...

    So do you like your MG ZS EV?

    Do I love it? No. I've probably been on here too many times already saying what I dislike about the car so I'll start on the positives this time. It's quite a nice, if spongy, ride and very quiet. My friend's Tesla emits quite a loud whine listening from outside the car, the MG is quiet even...

    MG ZS Steering Fault - clicking when turning

    Hi Jason - yes, it was Hendy MG in Poole (I'm in West Moors). They did replace the whole steering unit under warranty but it took a bit of persuasion for them to agree there was an issue. Mine made a distinctive clunk only when turning right.

    Intermittent Radio (switch on at start)

    Most of the time it's ok, I get the normal radio graphic with a channel on it and the source, play and channel buttons work as you describe. But look at the picture above - do you ever see that weird radio picture? When that picture is shown on the screen then none of the touch buttons work...
