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.

    Function of the left button on the infotainment changed.

    The left button should be a shortcut to the AC screen which it was for the first few weeks after I bought the car but it now switches the AC on/off duplicating the middle button function. Is this a known problem? Do I need to reset something? Car is MG5 trophy 6 months old.
