I didn't get one either, but found someone local selling a barely used on on Facebook for £10.

I find that having the screen in light mode but minimum brightness is okay.

It's a shame it can't switch to dark mode when the headlights come on, but if you use Android Auto with Google Maps that part will go into dark mode.

There's also the battery heating option too, that should speed it up a bit, although I'm not sure how much at only 50kW.

That sounds like nonsense. You can see the charging curve here: MG MGS5 EV Long Range charging curve & performance | EVKX.net It stays above 50kW to over 80%, so you can do some simple maths. 64kWh * 0.8 = 51.2kWh Let's say 10% loss, and starting at 10% is the usual quoted charge time, so we...

Auto, and I noticed after I'd been driving for half an hour.

Mine didn't either. Maybe another bug.

For 5k miles/year. Not sure if mileage makes any difference. I've seen a lot worse I suppose. I played around with different dealers and for 36 months, it idnd7t make much difference.

I wonder how much it would affect the aero and range, if you care about that.

You can turn those off with the stalk. I think that's the best you can do if you want to get in and out of the car.

I think they ask you to completely turn the car off while on the train. It's a safety thing, probably mostly to do with fossils.

You can set it to km by going into the settings menu and changing from metric to imperial. Unfortunately it's a global setting that affects everything, including the sat nav an energy information, as well as the speedo.

Presumably it's not one of your favourites. For me it always at least goes back to the one I usually listen to.

Agreed, it gives up on DAB too easily and I've never seen it switch back. My old Leaf would drop out for a few moments in one spot but otherwise stay on DAB for the whole journey on the same route where the S5 gives up early on and never tries again.

I noticed the same thing. I thought it was just switching from DAB to fallback FM every time, but Boom Radio isn't on FM. Looks like a bug. I wish there was a way you could report these problems to MG.
