Cabin heating stopped working for me also. Car registered in March 2023 having 20000 miles.
I tried to book a service diagnostic with the dealer that sold me the car but their next availability was six weeks later. I managed to get it checked at Glyn Hopkin closer to me in only a week.
It took...
Had the first service done and the latest software updates applied. Very professional all throughout. The whole experience starting from the booking time up to the collection of the car, which was given a curtesy wash, was very pleasant.
I decided to wait while the service was done as I was a...
I had the first service and the updates done on Friday 23rd by MG Beaconsfield.
Both MPU and MCU were updated.
MPU - new version 1300R17
MCU - new version 83.3.50
The service manager informed me that MG issued a sw package update and instructed them to apply all of them. Apparently includes...
Has anyone tried the shorter (less than 0.5m) USB Mfi cable to Iphone to confirm if Carplay it's stable 100% in their MG 5/ MG4? Mine is still 100% working.
I realised there is another point not dealt with - the USB interface speed.
According to Texas Instruments (TI) the lighting cable for Iphone supports USB2.0. i.e. 480 Mbps.
All genuine Iphone cables I've seen/used are with white inserts which confirm TI statement.
My Baseus USB-A to Iphone...
I tried for months to get a stable reliable Carplay connection via the cable for my MG5 Trophy FL.
I tried to change connection order (car/phone) / restart phone/car/infotainment, switch off wifi on the phone and s.o. I suspected mobile network coverage as the car E-SIM might switch the...
Here is where we are now.
I got in contact with the MG dealer in Beaconsfield where I purchased the car, as requested by MG CS. Below is their message.
Dear Mr ,
Thank you for getting in touch with MG motor!
In this instance you would need to contact your local MG dealership who will be...
At least for MG5 MK1 there is one proven case where the SC was working in June 2022, see the youtube video below:
Tesla SC MG5/VW ID3
Also earlier in Jan 2023 some members reported in this thread that the MG5 MK1 stopped working.
We have an open Tesla network in the whole Europe but no...
Unfortunately CPS doesn't seem to serve in South East but good to know if travelling north.
From what I can see from Tesla app as a member prices all over the country are peaking at 51pence. Prices for non-members are around 10-15pence more expensive.
For less than 80KWh the cost of membership...
Inside the car press the "Home" button on the infotainment screen. You can see the charging screen in the second pane of the infotainment display. If you want more details press on the charging menu and you will be able to see the voltage / current/ state of charge/battery heating status.
When...
I found out what simorgan42 is saying about the cables the hard way - use the original cable. Even with the original brand new cable the unit restarts randomly the carplay connection while driving.
Are you refering to the pairing for bluetooth or under settings/general/carplay?
Apologies for the long winded answer.
Imo it is mainly because heating with the resistive heater is a very expensive process.
The battery heater is described as 7KW somewhere in the MG literature so it should draw around 17A for full battery at 406V. But the fuse F11 (battery heater) is rated...
I didn't say required battery heating. I'm trying to do a sort of reverse engineering here.
Without any battery temp gauge and the decision from the BMS information it is not possible to know the BMS strategy. Also I would guess that if the batt heating is not required the BMS would just stop...
