You Northern hemisphere people don't fully comprehend how awful it can be during a Queensland winter. Another couple of weeks and it could drop down to freezing at night. The penguins invade the beaches and the swimmers have to wear jumpers.

A much much much lower current. Suitable for Eskimos and penguins, But in Normal you can be a toasty 25+ degrees, not a frozen 23 or lower.

Gadget, What's Farenheit?? I am a new age man, I allow myself to feel the cold. Maybe that should be an old age man. I have confirmed Davemac278 is correct, no heat in eco mode. So shorter trips in winter or charge more often. Thanks so much

An early winter blast hit my area of Queensland yesterday, sub arctic conditions, rain wind more rain. the thermometer for outside was down to about 20 degrees so it was cold. Hopped in the car and the glass was a bit foggy and it was a touch chilly so bumped up the temp to 25 and waited and...

I mostly love cruise control, most of my trips are on a 110 kph freeway. It does a few things that I find not brilliant but am pretty much used to them. If I set the speed limit to 110 then my car will do 110 to 113 on a dead flat road, so I deal with that by clicking the button on the lower...

Thanks so much. Well, that explains why the deleted thing won't work, and, why the instructions on the internet seemed somewhat screwey. Guess I buy a CP2A now. Cheers / Prosit Look forward to the next episode. Will Malcolm buy the correct gadget next time. Will he be able to get it running...

I purchased a Carlinkit to avoid plugging my android phone in but have not had any success getting it to work. Plug the thing in, wait , wait, wait 45 - 60 seconds nothing. I had the impression it was just supposed to work after 30 seconds. The internet suggests downloading autokit.apk and...

Very userful information, thankyou, I had thought it might have been like ounces and kilos or furlongs or metres.

I suspect that the hub caps on the ZS EV are tamper proof because I could not get mine off easily. The car had warned me that my tyre pressure was low, 2.4 bah , so I had dropped into the servo and approached my hub cap and found that I couldn't get the tyre inflator end onto my nozzles, so...

Currently when my phone connects to my car it reports that the car is parked and that my Battery is at 51%. The problem with that is that the battery is at 80% and unable to get GPS ( mind you it has always had this GPS esrror). I have had this invalid information issue previously and...

I had had my brand new shiny red MG ZS EV for a week and I took it to Bunnings (hardware store) on the weekend pulled into the car park and facing me in the parking lot was an identical vehicle same colour, same specs, different number plate. Prior to that, I had thought that I was special...

I was playing with the feature at 105 on the freeway and I found that whilst the vehicle will self steer it bounces from line to line and after a short while complains that your not holding the steering wheel. I do love the cruise control / pilot functionality set a speed and travel at that...

Re binding just in case you have not yet resolved the issue have a look at MG ismart app - unable to register

I picked up my MG ZS EV last Thursday and went for a drive on Friday came home to charge at 35%, went to the back of the car and pulled out the trickle charger and stuck that on and about 17 hours later was back up to 100%. Did the same trip on Sunday and got home to find battery at 50%, Monday...

N2STY Your brilliant, the solution at 10m20s in the vid above worked, I reset the system time, and hey presto success. Mind you I had tried to rescan 10 times and then bang my head three times against the wall. That might have helped as well.
