Thanks Ian for the insight, my car is on contract hire so I'll be looking at one of those USB rechargeable magnet lamps, as I don't want any excuse for excess payments in 4 years time.
Yes
You would be better with one of those kind of lights as they don’t need any excuse to ask for money
My wife's e-Up! shows a message on its screen - to not forget your phone, when you switch off.
I'd rethink the magnetic fixing, do you really want a light flying about the cabin everytime you have to brake sharply?
I believe the magnetic medium plate is attached with adhesive to the fabric of the roof lining, my plan was to add a few drops of superglue, or similar between that plate, and the magnet of the lamp base.
Lol, the poor rear seat lighting in the ZS EV. It finally got to me an I installed overhead near-side lights and foot well lights in the front
Surely you just use 2 fingers or a finger and thumb as you would on your iPhone two pinch and zoom in or out mine does.plus I’m sure that once you have used the two fingers a small bow appears in the bottom left of the screen with a plus and minus symbol on it.
Every new car built in sat nave I've ever used has been terrible compared to google maps on Android Auto or Waze if the phone is in a holder (way more functionality and AI than the AA version)
In the short period of ownership, that has become second nature now, switching to Kers3 and Eco mode, even before driving off, or very soon after.
If you press and hold the button on the volume nob before you turn the car off the infotainment system is turned off and just shows the time. It stays off when you get back in so you can control when it comes on and at what volume
Great find john973, and thank you for your posting and the tip within it, many times in the past 18months or so, here on the forum people have ask how you can stop the radio coming on when starting the car and you appear to found an answer, John so well done and thank you.If you press and hold the button on the volume nob before you turn the car off the infotainment system is turned off and just shows the time.

The really annoying thing is, if you open the boot using the boot release on the key, and then happen to put the key in the boot whilst you are rummaging through the contents, it doesn't beep, it doesn't bong, it doesn't even whisper at you. Just quietly let's lock the key in the f#!*@& boot!
I have the 2022 MG ZS EV Trophy, this does not have the radio knob. The radio comes on when starting and the only was have found to stop it is to press the left side centre button on the steering wheel, but this has to be done on each start-up. Does anyone know how to switch the radio off so it doesn't come on when starting up?Great find john973, and thank you for your posting and the tip within it, many times in the past 18months or so, here on the forum people have ask how you can stop the radio coming on when starting the car and you appear to found an answer, John so well done and thank you.
I have just tried it on my MG5 and it works.
The only thing to be aware off is when you switch the radio back on the volume is where you left it so when turning it off as John has Described above, turn the volume down before you turn it off job done.
