Which, afaik, only works when the infotainment system is running. So as much use as a....

The SE has fixed units in that the low and high adjust as single entity. The Trophy lamps are individually adjustable low & high. The factory high beam adjustment seems to be way off on many cars.

You need to use the iSmart app - MG do not allow third parties to use the car API. The Ohme will just keep the power switched on for you to use if you wish.

Worked fine for me this morning. I have to wake the car properly by doing the "scan" (second icon, the shield with a heartbeat) after that I switched on the defrost, rear window heater, and drivers seat heater ok.

40+ IT years consulting for big corporates and government for me too, and I have to agree it is never simple, even when the data is all available. I came across a bank keeping vital bits of customer information in an Excel spreadsheet on a office desktop. Another that was running a custom...

If they are not going to monitor the milage how does it work then? I'll wait to see what is actually announced rather than some speculation.

I don't have a Zappi, I'm just interested. But does it not allow you to have multiple car profiles which define the battery capacity and max charge rate? I only have experience of an Ohme so far and this allows you to do that. So with multiple cars, you would select three things: the car...

It re-appears once charging is scheduled (and maybe in progress).

Same with the cutting off at 5:30, that is hindering you too.

As above, the car should stay at 80% if you set it at that. The only time mine has changed is when I get a "token expired" in iSmart and when I log in again it had reset to 100%. But if you are setting the "to add" value reasonably accurately it should not go much above 80% anyway (mine stopped...

And Octopus are correct, they cannot read or control the car - MG do not allow it - that is why you have to manually set the "amount of charge to add" each time you charge. OIG has always been like that.

Yes, but most apps refresh the token automatically in the background and then discard the old token.

Mine has always emitted random bongs and chimes with nothing on the screen - we just ignore it now. Alarm fatigue, which means you may miss real warnings that need some action.

You can make your own minor changes to Google maps, but major roads and junctions are limited to regional editors having the ability to update them. I have fixed incorrect speed limits, restricted turns etc. in our local area. I reported a routing issue with our local motorway roundabout (maps...

Weird how my (and others in the UK who have posted images of their patterns) are all "misaligned" exactly the same with a raised area on the left 🤷‍♂️ You keep saying they are flat topped, so do you have a photo of your dipped beam pattern from a single lamp (a single lamp is easier to see...
