    Range concerns on S5

    This the i_Smart App?? - if so, does it need the charger attached, and would it work if the programme for charging is Ohme controlled? Cheers!

    Range concerns on S5

    I've never heated the battery either in the MG4 or this S5!! Never quite grasped it...mainly as I charge through the Ohme App.... Pre-heating....is thus done through i-Smart, the car, or whilst charging?

    Range concerns on S5

    Yep....no long journeys planned, so will run it right down and recharge to full. Your 3.8/3.9....is that mixed or motorway driving??

    Range concerns on S5

    Hi everyone..... Had my S5 over a month and generally very pleased with it so far. However, I am a little concerned over the range I'm getting. I know it's the wrong time of year to be expecting big range numbers near to what the manufacturer claims, but this is worse than my previous MG4...

    Preheat cabin

    Used the preheat windscreen two days in a row now, and the heated seats option - all from the remote app on phone. Works so much better than the MG4, and very little battery consumption. Car warm as toast and a clear windscreen. Interesting to see what it does with a much heavier frost....

    MGS5 - Underrated

    Hi there!! Hope yer enjoying the new wagon....Two weeks into mine and still lovin' it..... Are you after setting the correct time following the clocks going back an hour?? If so, its the DST slider you're after in the settings screen. If not, setting the clock to Auto should suffice, but most of...

    Playing music back from USB drive with large/long audio files

    Yep, if you're an MG4 owner, that's what they do..... I had a nostalgia period where I purchased a few songs from the 60's, including -' A Windmill In Old Amsterdam'!! I should have renamed it....as that was the first song the MG4 would start playing every time.....'I saw a mouse'.......🙈🙈🙈

    Intermittent problems with Android Auto

    That seems a decent get around for those of us who don't want AA starting by default every time!!!! Apologies - that's not the reply you wanted!!

    Playing music back from USB drive with large/long audio files

    From my experience, using a USB stick means it will remember the last song you played, but start it again from the beginning..... I see you are an MG4 user??.....my USB music stick defaulted to an all-songs menu and started with the first song in that list every time!! If you have created a...

    USB keeps rescanning my files (First EV)

    Sorry if this is obvious, but you have put the USB in the right-hand usb connector, not the left hand one? I know that one of them is for charging only.......

    Starting charging MG ISmart app

    About as well as the S5car v iSmart!! When i was driving my MG4, there was frequently a difference of around 1 mile between the two in- car screens, particularly when charging.

    Using Tesla App and Chargers ?

    It does work, but there's been no word on why the MG brand was removed from the Tesla app! It used to be, but was suddenly no more! The work-around discussed here and on the MG4 thread works just fine, but like you, I have yet to try it on the S5. I'm sure it should work ok.....

    Starting charging MG ISmart app

    Appreciate the suggestion, which I tried earlier today. On refreshing, the mileage report on the iSmart app increased even further than that reported in-car!!! So at the moment, the iSmart app is out by anything between 10 and 15 miles!!! Not unduly worried, as I rarely use the app, but I find...

    USB keeps rescanning my files (First EV)

    I've found the menu system way better in the S5 - starting up the music on a USB stick in the MG4 defaulted with the entire song list starting, rather than the previous song I'd played. Moving around the menu system on the MG4 was clumsy - I think the file reading system on the S5 is an...
