That would be great - but alas the lights don't have GPS - so they don't know where your car is - they are just setup for the country where you bought your car. So you still have to use stickers on your headlights if travelling from UK to France.

I’ve been experiencing exactly the same in recent times (iOS). Token expires, then I need to fetch my password from my password manager (which involves 12 taps(!) as I have to search for it), log in, change from metric to imperial and enable face-id login again. This happens extremely often -...

Brighton MG back in June. They are now part time of Lookers so may have bumped up their prices. Or maybe not. (I’ll find out next year)

Many cars ago, my VW was super cleaned every single time I took it in - even if it was just to briefly look into a problematic switch. It was a good thing, and I do miss it. (though I don't miss paying £8 for washer liquid top up - even when it was already full - and that was 15 years ago!) As...

Here we go again: another report - this time an older ZS EV model. https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/23884544.electric-mg-zs-car-mind-own-brakes-failed-lancing/ Read the comments (and note the upvoted ones) if you want to confirm the anti EV media war is winning. The journalist doesn't help...

Mine was 60% up on first renewal but n July…

I’ll wait till it happens again. I’m pretty sure they are real addresses as they vary in level of accuracy - sometimes full address, sometimes postcode. There’s an MG dealer there - but also a Nissan dealer. The moment it happens again I’ll take things further. If it doesn’t happen again -...

Update - so far the data hasn't been overwritten in the car (only 2 days) - I'm not really sure how long I need to leave it - I just know that after some time, I'd look at it and it would be filled with more seemingly random addresses. I'll leave it about a week then check and then try other...

There is another entry further down (on a screenshot I didn’t' share) for that same postcode which is more precise with the street and house number. If you're interested I can give you the full address on that one. It could, of course, be an MG owner, or the destination of a tradesman or...

I will try to google some addresses - will take screenshots tomorrow. I got the car from new (see profile picture). The issue only manifested itself after the last update I got some time back to fix the “service every 750 miles” bug. Before that I didn’t have this data leak issue. It’s very...

I have an interesting experience I'd like to share which is possibly relevant to this thread. My particular ZS EV Trophy Connect Long Range has a software bug with the navigation - I seem to get other people's home/work settings and also their recent destinations. NOTE #1: I use CarPlay most...

I left my mk2 Zs for about 10 days at the airport last summer. Battery was exactly where I’d left it and 12v battery had topped up automatically. The app stops responding after 7 days or so - I think the system on the car hibernates and it seems happens on some other cars too. I was checking...

Technically it can receive some kind of updates. In practice, this has never happened. For core updates - it needs to be done at a dealer. I expect this is done this way as a safety measure to ensure that the core car software is only installed under controlled conditions. Imagine someone...

I think that message refers to Over The Air updates only.

I bought my ZE EV outright last year - and originally planned to keep it 10+ years as most of my previous cars. With the fast pace of technology and potential issues beyond the warranty - I now think I wouldn't keep mine beyond 6 years - leaving 1 year warranty left for the next owner to take...
