    Received SMS from my ZS Trophy

    I just noticed iSmart app with two messages: alert and cancel. Thanks. I have ZS trophy connect. Maybe SMS was sent because I blocked iSmart notification. A stateful alert would better. I would not want to be waked up by flat battery. My house alarm sensors would send low battery message...

    Received SMS from my ZS Trophy

    I received first SMS from my ZS trophy. It was triggered by an alarm. I am pleased that my car do the same as my smart house alarm. I trigger the alarm myself by pulling passenger side handle and pressing button on handle at same time. I am still learning wonderful new features after one year:)

    Making & Receiving Phone Calls

    Apple's Bluetooth compatibility was not good before. A proper Apple USB cable costs about £100. Maybe it was a cable problem? I have a £2.5 USB cable works well with AndroidAuto on my old Huawei flagship phone Mate10Pro. But the cable does not work well with my new budget phone Samsung A34-5G...

    It could be IOT issue. It could be the model of your phone is not compatible. My phones work well with Bluetooth.

    Infotainment system - annoyances or just me?

    MG is a car. It does the job. MG has a long way to go as a premium brand as a media player. Resetting is a simple way to make things working consistently.

    Wheel covers

    The 5 slots on wheel cover for ZS are not symmetric. One slot is larger than the other 4. It is easier to take tyre dust cap off without removing wheel cover if dealer put them on correctly.

    Pump up your tyres!

    I have the same model. I was surprised that my tire pressure was with higher reading of 3.2 and 3.1 when I collect my brand new car last year. I have not pumped at all for 4k miles driving in 12 months. I just have reading of 2.6, just like yours. I thought annual service will help but it seems...

    I used to be a software engineer for a tier 1 mobile phone maker. Solving media issues are nightmare because shear number of format and variable performance of all sort of devices.

    ZS EV first year service cost....?

    My first two weeks' figure was 3.2 last year. My first motorway driving bring it up to 3.4. My driving "skill" improved with less heating and more coasting. I guess my brake pads can last longer. Light foot is also for less rubber dust🙂

    Random query

    I have not washed my silver ZS for a year. I just did some wiping mainly on black wheel arch. My ZS is still shining after 4k miles in its first 12 months. The original wax is so good that I do not want wash away too early. 😉

    ZS EV first year service cost....?

    I booked for my first service at cost of £180. My dealer do not do cheaper 15k service. They will give me 30k service including pollen filter change for the first year service. I only drove 4k in first year. For MG 7 year warrenty and convenience, I have no choice but take local dealer service...

    Reduced range in winter (merged)

    When I had my 23reg ZS LR back in March 2023, my efficiency was 3.2 mls/kWh. A 100 miles motorway trip bring up efficiency to 3.4 mls/kWh. I was enjoying all the speed and comfort without worrying about cost. I started to be a better on speed controlling with lesser comfort with energy...

    I use Android Auto most of time. I have two usages of satnav. Satnav is with Tomtom technology. It is with real-time traffic information for ZS trophy model after July 2022 or trophy connect model before July 2022. I can have a few touches to find traffic information when I stuck in traffic...

    Correct car (model)?

    In that case you should have trophy connect. You can try to say "hello MG, open sunroof" to proove it is connect model or not. It works on connect model. ZS trophy ordered after July 2022 are with connect feature but connect is not in model name any more.
