OpenEVSE also have a 3-phase charger.

See OpenEVSE Minimum settable is 6A, max 32A for my unit. The car can seemingly take lower than 6A when balancing etc. Mine has a tethered cable and there is no wire from the unit to the plug for proximity - just a resistor in the plug from PP to ground with the correct value for 32A.

Sorry, confused with CP/PP. The original cable already came with the appropriate resistor for 32A installed in the plug, as did a replacement bought from elsewhere after a rodent chewed through the original. I very much doubt the MG5 ignores the resistance else it'd melt cables that can...

I did build the kit - very easy. They do a pre-assembled one as well though. There is no CP back to the charger as the resistor is just hardwired in the plug to indicate that the supplied cable can handle 32A so the car can try and draw that but the control of charge is done in the unit...

My OpenEVSE charger is able to vary charge based on house load and/or solar surplus but that is done internally to the unit - I know that because it has a tethered cable and the resistance to indicate it can take 32A is hardwired at the car/plug end - there is no PP wire back to the charger.

Anyone know if this has been definitively resolved? I had to use the dual CCS Gridserve charger at Winchester South services heading home after a weekend in London and it worked fine; would have been in a bit of a pickle if it hadn't.

There's definitely an issue with the new Gridserve software which permits both cables to be used at the same time. I travelled from Dorset to Manchester and back at the weekend. Both charger units / three CCS cables at Strensham were stuck in 'Preparing to charge' both with my MG and another...

For future reference, don't stop at Gordano as they are notoriously unreliable but instead charge just up the road at Cribbs Causeway.

It's been covered many times on this forum; just lift out the rear seat base. Searching the forum will tell you how.

I put my USB stick into the Naviextras toolbox after priming it as per the instructions and 2021 Q4 is a free download to install. My car is an SR registered Jan 2021. I've updated the internal satnav several times, although I use Waze mostly via a wireless Android Auto dongle.

The Naviextras site will tell you. Follow the instructions that came with the car.

Unfortunately not; mine lives in the centre console pocket on the passenger side.

Over the top.

The indicators are wired up as you'd expect, the DRLs are wired to the main DRLs and the two fog/spots are wired to the main beam. Couldn't be bothered to put new switches etc in for front fog.

AA Wireless from Indiegogo

Yup

Had mine since July; works perfectly.

I can pull the unit away easily enough from below but the top seems stuck and doesn't seem to want to give. Any hints?

Unfortunately powerline adapters are parasitic i.e. they pollute all your circuits with RF noise. That said, they don't have any untoward effect on my OpenEVSE unit; indeed it connects to my home network via one over WiFi.

I used this one - plugs in so no need for the cap. https://shop.openenergymonitor.com/ev-connector-holster/
