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.

    A work-around for the awful radio

    Sorry, but just about everything about the radio is awful and very distracting if trying to change stations whilst you are driving. My workaround is to use a combination of Apple CarPlay, and the BBC Sounds app and the TuneIn Radio app. Connect your iPhone to the car with a cable. Say ‘Hey...

    Infotainment Screen Failure

    Well, I suppose it was inevitable. After 1500 miles of trouble-free driving, my infotainment screen is borked with the usual flicking from one screen to another (see Video). It seems to be a problem with the screen driver as the main screen decreases slightly in size and it's enough for the left...

    Infotainment screen getting confused

    I don't know if anyone else has found that if they switch the lights from auto to off before the infotainment screen has finished booting it gets confused and gives up. It seems to start in light mode then realises the lights are on so better switch to dark mode then while it's still booting you...

    Infotainment freezing fixed?

    I think the infotainment is overheating when it freezes. Mine (MG5 LR pre facelift) froze mid journey for the first time and it was after I put the heating on full and opened the vents on either side of it. I can't remember the last time I opened those vents or the last time it froze mid...

    Infotainment does not shut down

    Hi. I have a 2023 ZSEV trophy long range. When I turn off the car using the start/stop button the infotainment stays on, so music keeps on playing etc. When I open the door and get out it still stays on. It only turns off when the car is locked. Is this normal?
