Thanks to the in-depth tekkie knowledge of my son-in-law, we have discovered this morning that despite the registration protocols in the MG app requiring a symbol as part of your password, it cannot work if you include the @ symbol. We changed the password to exclude the @ symbol and hey presto...

I tried to copy it across to a more relevant thread but it seems to have disappeared instead. No matter as I was just confirming fitting Goodyear Vector tyres and leaving the wheel trims off Sparky2

Just one button is all we need. Just one button that turns all the crap computer controls OFF and just leaves the rear camera and cruise control working. Ever heard the phrase "take back control?"
