Yes the AAWireless to give the dongle its full name is the one I have and used without a hitch. I have called it such in previous posts on other threads on the forum.

Simple answer Yes I had an early AA Dongle (in fact, I still have it). It worked brilliantly and solved all the issues I had with mobile phone compatibility with my 1st Gen ZS when using a cable connection.

Absolutely don't assume that every Rapid charger has the same sequence of plugging in, swiping credit card or RFID and payment authorisation. It shouldn't be like that but it just is. Also, sign up for one of the cards/apps that give a single monthly billing such as Electroverse (ie Octopus...

I never had a need to use Geni Point with my ZS, but my daughter I know had no end of issues with charging her ZS from Geni Point and only with them.

Unfortunatly everyone seems to have a different fix for Android Auto. I tried believe me just about all of them (including using the Samsung cable which came in the box) with my Samsung A72 and A52 phones and yet my wife's Samsung Galaxy A7 92018) phone connects without issue every time!. i even...

This is terrible that the dealer didn't ensure that a safety update had been applied to the vehicle and supplied you, in effect, an unsafe car. I would not patronise that dealer with any of my future business and lodge a formal complaint. if I understand the issue correctly wasn't it the case...

I'm not sure you've posted on the best thread for your comment on OTA Updates, but it is perhaps worth noting that OTAs are not all equal for all car makers. Some ie Tesla can provide OTA to pretty much any and every software system on the car whereas others are far more limited in what they...

When you say "when I need a charge on the go I find a fast (40-50kW) one." are you meaning DC Rapid charger with CCS or 43 kW AC Rapid charger with a captive Type 2 Plug?

When I had the problems at the Birchanger Dual-headed charger there was an MG5 charging on the adjacent Single-header charger I should have spoken to him and asked if he was having issues. And when he moved off I was tempted to move over 1 bay but thought it might charge faster but "a bird in...

I was seeing the error message on the charger at Birchanger Services

I had the same error on a Gridserve doubleheader at Stanstead Services on M11 on Friday evening 7/1/23 but on 4th attempt it worked, although only at 24 kW until the other EV sharing finish his charge the speed jumped to 48 kW so clearly no increase in supply capacity from the old 50 kW...

Yes on the Facelift there are just two; mode and KERS. I wish the MG4 had retained them or perhaps followed the example of KIA / Hyundai and fitted a pair of KERS paddles behind the steering wheel spokes, but unfortunately you have to go into the menus or permanently assign one or the "Star2...

Yes and no. My wife has an older Samsung Galaxy A& phone and the MG ZS (Gen1) connects to that phone via Bluetooth whereas the MG ZS (Gen1) will not to my later A52 so she uses that since when she drives solo it's only ever local and doesn't us AA for that. Whereas I need AA when I'm in the car...

I assume that the Huawei update was after the US ruling against Huawei using Google's bits ie Google Play etc in their integration, was it? Whereas OnePlus can still use Google Android code on their phones. I've struggled with Android Auto on MG but to be fair it has been widely reported on...

Review of AAWireless

You should know that some phones actually don't support Android Auto and others aren't fully supported by various MG models. My Honor 10 Lite although on Android 10 according to the documentation doesn't support AA and after two years I found this out so I bought a Samsung 52 18 months ago only...

Jonny for the Late Brake Show reviews MG5 Facelift (driven 1st Nov)

I don't suppose you have used any car interior cleaning products in the car such as those dashboard sprays have you? Otherwise as suggested by others it could be hand creams or alcohol hand sanitiser residue transferred to the steering wheel. I like the suggestion of using Bicarbonate to clean...

Just clocked over the 20k miles yesterday on my Gen 1 ZS. The average just driving a mix of every kind of road over the past 3384 miles, 65.49 hrs, 23 Av mph 3.9 miles/kWh. This average of 3.9 miles/kWh has been pretty consistent for the past nearly 3 years. obviously, In summer, on a longer...
