    Taking MG5 on holiday to Belgium: tips & gripes

    I should have read this before my trip to Bruges this past weekend :cool: I has a similar easy run, being able to charge at both Folkstone and Calais inside the terminals. But there are only 8 tesla chargers and 4 or 5 of the other chargers at these locations. The other ones at Folkstone don't...

    Intermittent Android Auto

    Hi, I had 6mths of this last year and eventually I narrowed it down to two issues. The first was that there was a bug in Android Auto and the Android Operating System that caused the link to be lost when changing cell towers under certain conditions. I reported this to Google along with...

    Cabin temp display says 40 degrees, app says 13, heating doesn’t work!

    Hi, I think this is the problem I had. Basically when the got the car (Version 1, Trophy Long Range) the heater would stop working after a short while, this was a known fault with a loose connection which the garage fixed. But then there was no relationship between the display and the actual...

    Android Auto automatic Nightmode issues

    Hi, there is a simple workaround to this. When you get in the car (at night) set up Android Auto by plugging in your phone, the infotainment screen will most likely be in day time mode. If it is, then toggle the automatic head lights off and then on. This tricks the system into believing there...

    Richmond Portsmouth - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    I can only sing their praises. I bought my MG EV4 Trophy from there nearly two years ago. They have always been helpful and polite. Like all main dealers they are not cheap but they are certainly very professional. The software issues with the MG EV4 is very much an MG issue pushed onto the...

    Starting our MG4 Trophy, you have to put into drive, back into park, then do it again.

    Hi, re the Android Night Mode issue. There is a very simple workaround, I found it accidently, all you need to do is plug your phone in and then toggle automatic lights off then on using the switch on the stalk. It forces the system to send a status change to Android Auto and it will set it to...

    Tesla Supercharger membership now £8.99p/m or £90 for year

    One is at Darts Farm, same junction as the M5 Exeter Moto Services but take the opposite turning to the services. It's about a mile or so away and has a restaurant, farm shop, play area etc. A much nicer place to stop than the M5 services even if you don't plan to charge there. Use the address...

    Octopus Intelligent Go - Offer Bank Holiday Monday

    I worked out that it would save me roughly £1 but as no effort was required on my part (the car needed charging) I have taken part. I am wondering if the real reason this offer was made was to examine grid loading. There was a similar offer to individuals with solar and battery but no car where...

    Software update

    Hi, I suggest that you make a list of the bugs associated with R33, there are plenty and go back to the dealer and ask for them to be fixed, this is what I did. The dealer does not get paid to do software upgrades unless MG agree that one is needed to fix a problem. MG do not issue a list of...

    Android Auto Dropping Out

    Hi, Android Auto was working fine until about three weeks ago when it started dropping out randomly during a journey. It seemed to be associated with an update of the Android Operating system on my phone. There is another stream in this forum where this was mentioned and looking through the...

    Android Auto Keeps Disconnecting

    Exactly the same symptoms along with cutting out when it loses the signal. I have linked it with the latest Android update on my phone which is screwing with Google Maps. After each journey it is best to close the app directly on the phone then open again for the next journey, this seems to help...
