I checked loads of leads/phones but no luck. AA worked for a little wile after i got the car, but then it just stopped and never worked again. MG had a look at it twice, but they cannot figure it out but are not keen to change the whole infotainment unit. I tried with wireless dongle, but still...

Android Auto/Apple car play doesn't work.

hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone changed the infotainment unit in their MG5? It's a excite, LR, pre FL version. I'm looking at getting second hand unit on ebay, is it a straight swap, or are these units coded to the VIN or something? Thanks!

Did you manage to reapir Android Auto aftre all?

Did you managed to change the mirrors/route the cables?

I decided to go for ID3 77kWh after all (21 plate, 12k miles). The range is between 260 and 300 miles, very happy with this!

hi everyone, My MG5's MOT is coming up soon, and since the car is still covered by warranty and i don't want to void it, i was wondering if i can take it to have it done anywhere, or is it have to be a dealer? Thanks!

Thanks, this one is exactly 3 years old, what kind of issues did you get?

Coming back to the original post, I decided on ID3 (77kWh) rather than MG4, and so far (early days) I'm very happy (I'm coming from MG5). The promised mileage seems to be true, the car is very efficient up to 65-70mph, pleasure to drive, easy to charge and very comfortable. Here's a photo from...

True, so far i just tried 900w heater for about 15 minutes but hard to tell how is it going to be ina long run... That's right, the car is "on" (started with a foot on a break) and the 12V battery is being constantly topped up. I check with a clamp meter and the charging current is being...

Yep, similar kind of thing. 71 plate, 50k miles, occasional rapid charge, charge to 100% most of the time, however never let it sit when low SOC (<25%)

Yes, that's right.

As we know there's no V2L capability on Pre-lift MG5, so I decided to do a DIY version. The onboard charger is capable of delivering around 170amps to 12V battery, however the charging circuit fuse is 150amps, so we are looking at maximum 2.1kw max. I bought 2kw pure sine wave inverter, as I...

Thank siteguru. I'm looking at Extended range so yeah, 23 plate which makes 1-2k more expensive than VW but less mileage and newer car.

I'm currently on the lookout for a new car, and I was pretty much decided on ID3 but it seems it might be MG4 after all. I was considering ID3 (77kwh version) due to slightly higher range, (supposedly) better overall build quality and longer battery warranty (VW is 8 years/100,000miles) I was...
