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.

    Infotainment software update

    Hi , I wonder if you could answer a question. I have ordered a HS PHEV and was wondering if this would have the updated infotainment software/operating system as seen on the HS vehicles in Thailand and also in the new ZS? As I have looked at the new software/operating system it looks like a big...

Took car in at 8.30am, took new long range demo car out and waited on update on when my car would be ready. Thought...

    Playing Videos through the Infotainment screen ?

    On a YouTube video I saw that someone was playing his videos through the MG HS Phev infotainment screen from a USB memory stick plugged into one of the sockets under the flip-up cover below. The video would play vision and sound if stationary, but would go to sound only whenever driving. Anybody...

    Volume between car play and infotainment

    Anyone else seen a way of changing the volume independent of each other? The volume on carplay needs to be increased to play music/podcasts/ take calls. But that means when the car is switched on and it defaults to the infotainment i end up with a very loud absolute radio/radio4. If i then turn...

    Infotainment - music library

    Strange question - but is there a way to connect a device (USB etc.) and have the headunit play audio files from it? I know you can play audio from your phone using Carplay or Auto, but in my current (old) car I just have my entire music library (except for a few of other half's dodgy albums) on...

    Infotainment Screen Dimming

    I'm going mad! I've looked and looked (Even tried looking in the handbook!) but I can not for the life of me find out where (IF) I can turn down the brightness of the centre Infotainment Screen on my Zs. I have had it for just under a year but had never really used it much at night (Covid). Now...

    Is there an HDMI/AV in option for our infotainment?

    Context: I had enough with the current infotainment, and I don't want to replace it. The idea is to connect a raspberry pi or similar "brain" and have the output directed to the original screen. I'm thinking either connecting directly to the screen with an a/b switch (if it's possible), or...

    Infotainment restart

    I've had my MG 5 for a couple of months now and on about 4 or 5 occasions I've seen the infotainment system restart. What I mean by that is whilst driving I have noticed that the screen has gone black, then the MG logo appears. Anyone else come across this? Tom

    Infotainment screen just died - what's your experience?

    Screen died tho' reversing camera pic still works. The infotainment screen has had it's odd moments in the 15m I've owned the MG ZS EV but suddenly died. It's in for a repair soon but I'd appreciate members' comments/experiences. Otherwise the car is a delight.

    Infotainment fascia crack after 3 days

    Hi everyone, picked up brand new ZS EV on Thursday and I'm loving it so far. Just got in it this morning and noticed this crack in the fascia after having it only 3 days! I've no idea how this has happened, as there's been no impacts on the dashboard. Any ideas if this is a quick fix? I've...

I reset the unit by keeping my finger on the...

    Protective film on Infotainment screen ?

    Silly question possibly but is there a protective film on the infotainment screen, a bit like you get with a new phone ? Reason for asking is I have a little 'tag' at the top right corner, which I have been tempted to pull but haven't so far. (for some reason I always kept them on the phone as...
