    Rental MG 5, how to set up charging management etc please.

    . Hi @bimbamboodle if you have a home charger for your ZS EV then you need to use that for 'scheduled' charging on a pre-face lift (2021/2022) 5 EV. If you have to use a 13amp granny charger then you can I suppose place a 'timer' on the plug socket to get some sort of 'scheduling'. On a rental...

    MG5 LR or keep lease

    For me... Ex demo is always a good thing... Top if the range (sometimes with extras), well looked after, if they are a large dealership it probably has 'paint guard', no VAT!, will they give you interest free credit.. The only issue is you can't choose the colour... And if you want one then get...

    Get the data off the car!

    While reading the manual and the fact that the system knows if a equalisation charge has not been carried out for some time. That must mean the charging data is being stored by the system.. Does anyone know how to access this 'charging data' and how to copy it off the system. I've looked in...

    DAB data display

    @Vipar @Tommy After pressing and highlighting it... returning to the DAB screen the 6th favourite changes to a image selector.. @Tommy press it then take a look at your favourite 6 BBC R6M I haven't put any images on a USB stick yet but I wonder if it is a short cut to that?

    Can you dim the dash lights on an MG5 particularly the speedo brightness?

    Page 33 of the Infotainment system manual references brightness and back light mode. I'll have to wait for my car to arrive to see what the choices are.. I posted (here) regarding turning off the infotainment centre display. Sincerely Martin
