Thanks 👍

Do you have the Google Pixel 9 yet? If so how is it working for wireless charging and Android Auto in the S5?

Thanks, thats good to hear 👍

Thank you 👍

Thanks, I will add that to my shortlist

Thats an option, but if not using the cars built in charger I might as well stick with my current phone.

Thanks, I was a bit worried that I would purchase a phone that would not charge due to the camera bump.

Thanks. That's interesting, I will do that tomorrow. Do they normally have a particular department I should contact?

Thanks for that info, that's one for my shortlist 👍

I currently have an Android phone that's a little basic, and I am thinking of upgrading to something more powerful that also supports wireless charging. I was looking at the Honour 400 Pro; however, this phone has quite a pronounced camera hump, and I was wondering if that would prevent wireless...

Why did you inform the finance company? I have had an issue with my car from the day I picked it up (November 27th), the dealer is trying to get help from MG, but no fix as yet. Should I inform the finance company? I have a strange issue with my car, I have wondered if it is phone interference...

@TimothyN Exactly, I have seen the Navigation and Radio Station occasionally, but generally it doesn't work.

"3rd party Sat Nav apps not displaying on the cluster in the same way onboard does" My inbuilt sat nav very rarely displays on the small screen, same for the radio station, it's very annoying, those 2 cluster options mainly report "No Information"

I normally use Google Pay, but decided to use an actual card the first few times to keep it simple

Thanks, Well, I will wait and see 😄

Thanks, that sort of implies I won't be charged? Unless I have misunderstood? Especially as it's three different companies.

I just saw the monthly subscriptions today, did a 300 mile trip yesterday, use an ionity and a Gridserve. I was thinking about signing up for monthly, and then cancelling, however it says you have to give them a month's notice to cancel, so in effect you would end up paying for 2 months, I only...

Mine only very rarely shows the Navigation and Multimedia panels, they are selected on the main screen and I know you have to have the cars Navigation and Media active. They have shown up a couple of times in a few hundred miles of driving, but 98% of the time they only display that they have no...

I have an S5 EV and have found that when I pre heat the steering wheel and seats, as I sit in the car the screens light up and the seat and wheel icons show these devices are on, almost immediately the wheel icon shows as off, the seats stay on. Very strange.

Thanks, yes, I have just read that the OTA updates are expected in early 2026. I am not getting a great response from the dealer. I will keep chasing.

Ah, no it's different on the S5 EV, I have all the screens selected.

Thanks, yes, I do have all mine ticked. The Nav and Multimedia options do not work, even when playing a radio station or navigating on the main screen. I have read this morning that there is a software update for the infotainment system that fixes this issue, but if I check for updates, it says...

I am not sure what you mean by selected in on instrument pack, I do say in my post that it is selected in the Cluster options, is that what you mean?
