    MG ZE EV Warning Lights

    I often experience this, when starting close to trees/bushes and on an up-slope. I also suspect it has something to do with one of the forward-facing cameras or radar. In my case the Infotainment system often then restarts itself and the warnings are no longer there. In all cases the warnings...

    Infotainment screen 'freezes'

    No, but did you try resetting the Infotainment by holding down the physical Home button until the system reboots?

    MG ZS EV - 2024 - Map updates

    My experience, together with info from multiple threads here: 1. Apple computer did not work for upgrading at all, I borrowed a friends PC and the upgrade worked. 2. The type of format of the USB stick matters (can't remember which but check threads).

    Car Play connectivity

    This guy has a series of tutorials which I viewed as a new buyer. I found many excellent. The link is to a general MG/Car Play tutorial. There are also specific MG ZS ones also. Remember, he is in NZ so some specifications may vary.

    Smart Key Not Detected Car Not Starting

    Don't know if this applies to your vehicle and not a permanent solution, but just in case. The iSmart app for my 2023/4 ZS EV Lux/LR offers a digital key. It needs setting up before first use but it does work.

    MG ZS missing V2L function

    I bought this adaptor on Amazon: VOBOR Adapter V2L voor EV (€32 ish). It works so this EVCC 11349836 from 230206 seems to belong to the working ones for V2L.

    Mg Zs Ev is very cold

    Sorry if I am saying something you already know but... Just checking you are aware that you can select in the infotainment screen where the airflow is directed as in the photos below. At least, this is how my ZS EV Long Range 2023 works.

    Security alarm cancelled ??

    Yes, this happened to me. I left the OBD II dongle connected by mistake then locked the car. After about 1 minute the alarm went off and I got the security alarm. This happened multiple times until I noticed the dongle and removed it.

    Built in satnav - finding charging stations

    In addition to the above, the inbuilt nav is not up-to-date (I believe Q4 2023 so 18 months old) so does not show a representative, current situation. Further, other on-line systems show how many charging stations are serviceable and available. Finally, using internet based info allows me to do...

    Software Updates ZS EV 2023 under Warranty?

    Good advice and this is one of my examples. Unfortunately, in Portugal, Tesla chargers are only open to Tesla cars (due to some sort of government restriction). I want the functionality for journeys outside the country but can't test it locally.

    Software Updates ZS EV 2023 under Warranty?

    Hi All, Software Updates ZS EV 2023 under Warranty? I took my Portuguese ZS EV Lux / LR to the (Portuguese) dealer for the first service today - cost €106 BTW. When I asked about software updates the rep stated that only 'safety recall' (my interpretation of his words) updates would be performed...
