    Time for a change after 14 months.

    After just 14 months of owning our first EV, the FL5 is being part exchanged on Saturday :(. We started the EV journey on mainly local journeys of 25 mile round trips twice a week plus local commuting to and from work (5 miles). However, we've found ourselves travelling more frequently to North...

    SWARCO RFID card?

    A lot of my journeys now take me to North Wales, especially Anglesey. From previous charges, SWARCO are by far the most reliable, fast (45kw+) and cost effective. To date, I've always used either contactless or the SWARCO app to start and pay for the charge. But what would happen if I couldn't...

    FL5 - playing music from USB stick (or not?).

    For speed and convinience, I've gone down the Musicolet route. All albums are on laptop in WMA format, just as they were on the USB. Successfully transferred them to MP3, reloaded onto USB but car refused to read some of the albums. Those that the car did read were all over the place and in no...

    HS Plug in - mpg & performance with battery depleted?

    Currently running a FL5 EV but looking for a second family car, maybe the HS plug-in. Performance figures seem really good with 254 bhp and 184 lbs/ft but I guess this is with a fully charged battery. For anyone running an HS plug-in, do you notice a drop off in performance when the battery is...

    FL5 - latest software version of built in nav?

    Whilst looking for something else in the "download manuals" on the MG UK website (the section where you put your VIN no. in), I came across an update for the nav. Current version in the car is 2022Q1, the update is 2023Q1. For anyone who's done the update, was it worth it and did you notice any...

    FL5 - playing music from USB stick (or not?).

    Thanks everyone for the advice and suggestions. File transfer to MP3 is something I'll look at long term but for now, Spotify via AA has come to my rescue. My most played and favourite artists are on there, so will create a few playlists to keep me going.

    FL5 - playing music from USB stick (or not?).

    Griff & Gomez - the original USB files are WMA. I did try conerting to FAT, FAT32 and NTFS using an online file coinverter but the car still refused to acknowledge their existence. I'm happy to stream using a free/non chargeable service but how and what is the question if the USB stick is a non...

    FL5 - playing music from USB stick (or not?).

    When our FL5 first arrived in Jan 2023, I thought it would be just a case of popping in the USB stick and away we go as per all previous non MG cars. How wrong was I and soon realised that the 50+ albums were in the wrong format for the 5 so tried to re-format them using 3rd party software but...

    Remote De-misting and the updated MG app

    Having accepted the demist isn't going to work (for now?), tried the remote HVAC. Set app temp to "high" and 10 mins later, app said cabin temp had gone from 4 to 14 degC. What was more interesting was, when I went and sat in the car and turned everything into the "run" position, fan was up on...

    Smart app upgrade, I am unable to preheat car anymore.

    On the new app, the default fan speed is just "3". The old app fan speed was "max", 7 IIRC. Latest thread here Remote De-misting and the updated MG app Edit - no frost here but just set the HVAC via the app at max temp.. Let it run for the 10 minute period and according to the app, cabin temp...

    Remote De-misting and the updated MG app

    This is the one thing that is really getting to me now :mad:. My wife often has to go to work at 10.00pm, so clearing the screen is useful. Same applies when she leaves work at 7.00am. Being able to at least clear the front screen is a real boon as the car is 0.5 miles away from the office. Or...

    Remote De-misting and the updated MG app

    Thread bump ;). Having read many posts on the remote screen defrost and temp reverting to "LO" even though the app is set to "HIGH", I'm yet to get this function to work. I've tried every way suggested but still get into a cold car in the morning with a frozen screen. Ok, I can heat the cabin...
