    Facelift OTA Update and software version

    March '23 FL & never any OTA updates. I did get (during 1st service) s/w update; radio now behaves! Fine, but only recently noticed I no longer have the 'car proximity alert' (red leds in the wing mirrors)? One step forward, <n> back!

    Please check your AA cover

    It's OK/the norm, regardless of distributor, for us to have a moan. And I'm by default reluctant to mention when things go OK. Yet WLMG Eastcote (I had ZS prevously from them) provided updated details on AA cover at 1st service (FL MG5) & revised tel no. Only gripe to date is the location!

    Rear View Mirror Cover Removal(for replacement with dash cam)

    As with earlier response I reattached (3 series BMW) son's rear mirror. Having removed the cowling the mirror rotates (left or right) on it's axis/central pin. NB I held the pin (with padded wrench!) whilst (firmly) rotating the mirror off/on. Is MG the same?

    Mg5 23 plate trophy voice commands?

    Perhaps obvious, but it's ideal answering/disconnecting phone calls. Irrespective of the phone yet it would be great to have Sat Nav voice commands capability. Not sure if that's possible via Android Auto?

    Audio system going into pause mode - FL model

    Yet another variant! Driving with Radio 5 Live on earlier (Wales/Italy). I then, using the steering wheel controls to, change over to Radio 4. The display changed but I was still hearing Radio 5? Upshot was I had no control (a Voyager I conundrum!). Radio finally switched off when I locked the...

    iSmart 2.0 app woes [merged - all discussion in here please]

    I'm referring to central MG server (Chine or wherever located?). Whether my MG5 is on or off iSmart works fine. However, some members within the MG forum have thought some of the problems are due to their respective 4G phone network. So, yes a few variables to consider.

    iSmart 2.0 app woes [merged - all discussion in here please]

    I've found MG Server at times unavailable. Then later/ following day back ok. I assume you successfully registered?

    Audio system going into pause mode - FL model

    I did have the same (FL Mar23). It started when playing music from m/phone (via usb cable) & then the same to the raidio? In the end I stopped music via m/phone (via usb); since then behaviour fine, but hasn't totally disappeared. Service due shortly so I'll ask.

    MG5 Maximum luggage length with seats down?

    Based on previous feedback on this forum I went ahead & removed the rear seat base (FL). Given the base has a metal frame I was careful, but all was well. It took a five minutes (need to disconnect the seat belt wire connectors). And it fits nicely in the floor well. I recommend a firm pull...

    MG5 FL mobile network iSMART

    I'm in twickenham & find iSmart does not connect at some odd times. Network connections I'm not convinced is the issue, I suspect MG server(s).

    Ventilation / Condensation

    I'm quite happy (previous ZS, now 2023 FL). I switch on heating with A/C (no external air source) set low fan & temp at 19c which works ok. And yes I switch it off/on constantly. I also noticed with a friends (non EV) new car similar demisting issues so I can only conclude new car syndrome...

    Where can I find my service history without MG iSmart?

    Ask (you guessed it) for printout/copy of car details/service record off their system. As to iSmart I would ask, given whoever initiated the Bind may no longer be present, they 'unbind' via the MG computer system?

    Buying second-hand MG - what cables would you (expect to) get?

    Default would be the granny charger. However, if selling privately consider sale/no sale scenario? If the latter give both and allow yourself an uprated Type 2.
