infotainment

Infotainment (a portmanteau of information and entertainment), also called soft news as a way to distinguish it from serious journalism or hard news, is a type of media, usually television or online, that provides a combination of information and entertainment. The term may be used disparagingly to devalue infotainment or soft news subjects in favor of more serious hard news subjects. Infotainment-based websites and social media apps are gaining traction due to their focused publishing of infotainment content, e.g. BuzzFeed.

    Well I've tried everything except the 10mm spanner and deleting ABRP. I wanted to use google maps to drive home, but couldn't get to it. The home button on ABRP does nothing.

    Sat Nav issue

    Hi Just got an MG4 and struggling with the Sat nav. It works fine when selecting any location it already knows, eg supermarkets and MG garages. However when I try and enter addresses / postcodes the keypad is greyed out so I can’t select a location. Any ideas on this?
