    CarPlay and phone not working together

    Great, it works pretty well although my software version, R22, has an annoying bug at startup with multiple pop ups saying can’t connect then usually does. Hoping dealer can get upgrade done this week after aborted attempt last week.

    Does mgtitan always take so long to send orders

    I know mgtitan stuff can take a while but just wondering how long from customs clearance in uk to ship to destination? My order cleared customs on the 10th September and seems to be stuck in this stage at the moment.

    CarPlay and phone not working together

    CarPlay provides voice/messaging so no need to use bluetooth connection in the car as well.

    Software update

    So the latest from the Service Manager is the patch won't apply to the car and is giving errors.He has gone back to MG who have asked for screen shots of the expanded patch files on the USB stick which have been sent, now awaiting response back. They have had the car 4 days now so I am...

    Software update

    oooh...that sounds like OTA may be on the way or even working, dare you press the update button is the question? Interesting to know your car is R25 - really not sure why mine wasn't. Haven't heard back yet so I hope the patch has worked.

    Software update

    I spoke with the service manager this morning, my vehicle has been updated on all modules that were available but still did not show R25 for the Infotainment. He received a patch file from MG, it seems they tightly control what is given to dealers particularly patches vs what the system shows...

    Software update

    That’s it. Interesting it’s the same date as mine, I wonder if this is more a certificate date than build date.

    Software update

    Thats helpful. I suspect mine was on the forecourt or dock for a while being Artic White and not as popular colour.

    Software update

    thanks, would be interesting to see if it is after the 30th March. My brother-in-law has a VW Tiguan that had an over the air update last month and is bricked and VW can't get a replacement module until November! Maybe I should just ask them to leave well alone and block any future updates -...

    Software update

    It was on a shipping sheet in the glove box in my car. Is yours a Trophy or an SE as that was the other thing he tried to say that they were different, I don't think so myself.

    Software update

    Couple of people in here say they have it, I suspect it is build date as mine is 30th March the Sales Manager is 20th April. What I do know is my R22 version does not connect reliably to Apple car play wirelessly. I will see what he says tomorrow if it isn't out I guess I just have to put up...

    Software update

    Just spoken with Service Manager and he is saying no R25 infotainment version on the system. He agreed with that the Sales Managers car has R25 but can't get the software from the MG system as it says it doesnt exist. He is sending screenshots to MG technical to hopefully get them to send the...

    Software update

    No they were very vague...I will be calling them again shortly to find out what's going on. If they are vague again I will ask to speak to Workshop Manager.

    Error indicator on dash

    Check your tyre pressures. Mine came at 43psi all round and should have been 37, once reduced it was much better although I agree it's a firm ride.

    Software update

    Well, update from dealer tonight. They have had to put a call into MG and could I keep the courtesy car until Thursday or possibly Friday! Doesn’t sound good to me. The car in the meantime is no longer responding to MGSmart requests.
  16. sammoj

    Software update

    No because I kicked off about the fact it wasn’t done as part of PDI, the tyre pressures were all wrong, ceramic coating poorly applied and other things. They have it for 2 days for some reason but I know it sat there this morning from 8:30am - 2pm locked as I kept checking. It seems something...

    Software update

    Mine is in the dealer today and tomorrow being updated with all available updates I have been told. Will feedback what they say when I collect it tomorrow. I hope at least the infotainment gets R25 from R22 and it fixes apple car play connection issues. I also hope they manage to find an update...

    As winter is approaching

    Yes I would but as I also have a weather app on my phone I may avoid plugging in if forecast. As someone who has seen what a lightning strike can do to electrics in a house I wouldn't take the risk personally.

    As winter is approaching

    I am not sure what is going on here but I have never used anything in 6 years of owning an EV. Just plug it in the design is meant to be waterproof and is safe to use in rain. Thunderstorms ....mmm...personally I wouldn't leave my car plugged in during a storm just in case!

    MGS5 rear floor (bulge)

    A bit frightening that you got no BMS warning on the dash for what sounds like an expanded cell pack. Hopefully it's a one off and we don't start seeing more on this 3rd generation battery as they call it.

    Accesories Opinions

    Just placed an order with MGTitan for: Mudflaps Car door sill protectors/anti kick mats Lower and centre storage boxes Nav/Drive screen protectors Dashboard sunshade as the reflection from the ridge in the dash really irritates me! :cool: Will report back on how the fit/look when they...
