Yes, just touch the display around the pop up & the pop up disappears.

UPDATE: Further to the above post of mine, I can confirm one of the new updates that was included with my R27 Telematics software update was to ensure that all 6 main computer modules do actually go to sleep when you turn the car off. This should considerably reduce the 'flat 12v battery' issue...

Thanks so much Chris. Much appreciated.

The issue is without the latest R27 the car will not be able to see the latest software updates. On R25 there were no other updates available for my car. But a smart tech at my local MG dealer decided to update my car to R27. Immediately my car could see multiple updates for each & everyone of...

Thanks Chris, so does this mean using the app to scan a QR code on the cars screen to re-enable activation?

Have seen the IM5 at everything electric. First impressions are it's a great car. Good spec & good quality build. Like the look of it. I'm a relatively new MG owner since January this year. So far so good. I have a great dealer looking after me. I love my MG ZS EV LR car as does my wife who...

Ok, I think it's time to see your dealer & explain the situation more fully. Back this up with a short..ish explanation in writing for the service manager or tech who looks at the car. Mention that the car has almost started to charge but then failed & then on another occasion you got the...

Regarding the map version. To get the latest maps you have to go to the MG website shown in the cars manual in the app. Or the UK site may have a link. There you can go to support & enter your Vin number to download the relevant map update onto your computer. Next you need a 32gb usb stick (nice...

My ZS EV was new in Jan this year. It was fine for a couple of weeks then developed a creaking chattering noise from the dash. Couldn't see anything obvious but the noise was getting louder & more frequent. I was too busy to take it back to the dealer at that time so just kept driving it with...

If your car isn't being used much it can cause a humidity build up in the car. Short trips make it more noticeable in cooler conditions. As said above by Alb, charging will not have influenced it. If you used the car in damp or wet conditions water will have damped you car mat/s & if the car is...

I've not had this yet but but does losing 'activation' mean the car has become 'unbound'? How would you reactivate it?

Hi rcworcs, ok so this is interesting. If your car is a late car as yours is, it should already have the correct software upgrade to allow Tesla charging. This is borne out by the dealers saying there isn't an update to allow Tesla charging showing on the system. If your car didn't have the...

Hi rcworcs, as of this moment I cannot remember exactly how to check the software version. I'll need to take a look tomorrow & come back with that info. I think it is viewable in the car settings from memory but I do need to do that check. I didn't see it listed in engineering mode but I wasn't...

I would suggest you will need to either check a workshop manual for the model concerned or speak with your MG dealer auto electrician. It's pretty much something most people know little to nothing about. I'm an ex-tech & I haven't a clue about this either! Although hopefully by now you know the...

The issue with this is that if you don't follow the service regime it won't be covered under warranty if something goes wrong. Trust me, if it goes wrong it can cost a huge sum of money to fix especially if it's the compressor. At two years it will mostly be filter changes & check for leaks...
