I just tried eZS app and it works quickly and perfectly for me! MG5 PFL LR, 2021, with Nexas dongle, I can now see the SOH of 98.48% which isn't bad for 16,000 miles. Thanks for the tip! Peter

The best I can get is setting the profile to Roewe eRX5 in Car Scanner, which connects and gives some data, but sadly not the SOH or anything else useful - they come out as zero or blank.

Can anyone help? Bought a NEXAS OBD2 dongle, and using Car Scanner it connects to the dongle ok but it keeps saying can't connect to the car ECU. It goes round trying every protocol and failing. Maybe I have the wrong profile? I set it to MG5 2021-22. See screenshot. Thanks P

Hi all I've noticed a discrepancy on my MG5 PFL between the consumption reported on the dashboard and the one I calculated using the state of charge percentage before and after a trip. For example yesterday for a 70 mile trip the car reported a consumption of 4.0miles/kWh. However looking at the...

This was in November so they didn't do it. I will try next time.

Dees of Croydon, I used them, seemed ok about £265

Yes I have a pre FL MG5 LR so it should be ok. Let's hope Dees of Croydon cooperate. Thanks Les for the info. Peter

Has anyone been successful with a MG5 pre FL? Is it available for that car?

I have an Ohme Pro and pre FL MG5, using Ovo charge anytime tariff. You can set the percentage to add using the Ohme itself or the app provided and it works fine. You just have to calculate the percentage to add yourself instead of the tech doing it for you.

Hi all Just tried the Bonnet app for my recent long journey to North Yorkshire (520 miles round trip). I am loving the app as it guides you step by step through the process (i.e. when to plug in the charge), and gives you an update on the state of charge (on some chargers). Also there is a...

Has anyone tried battery preheating on pre-FL MG5 LR? I am about to go on a long journey next weekend, and I wondered if it would make my charge stops quicker, especially after all the media about dying Teslas in the USA, who couldn't charge in the extreme weather. I see there is an option under...

Probably you all know this but I noticed that using the heating set to 22 deg uses 10A from the battery, on a cold day (6 deg). That equates to 4kW of power being drawn from the battery, which totally accounts for my consumption in winter dropping to 3miles/kWh from 4miles/kWh. In summer, at...

I have a pre-facelift MG5 with OVO charge anytime and an Ohme charger. You can easily set an additional percent or miles to add using the app or on the charger itself. Works great, and 2p a mile! Only caveat you can't charge to a set percentage as others have said the car is dumb. You have to...

Has anyone tried this frunk from EV accesories Ireland for 169 euros plus VAT? https://www.evaccessoriesireland.com/product-page/mg5-frunk
