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.

  1. Satnav sorted

    A couple of months ago my satnav in my 2021 mk1 SR stopped working, would start to load then just stop. Although I use Android Auto for most journeys I like to have the built in speed limit 'nag' active. Tried all the usual resets to no avail and the local dealer didn't have any luck either...

    Message on Infotainment Screen

    Some time ago a message envelope appeared at the top right of the Infotainment screen (next to the signal strength indicator) with a red dot in it. The envelope appears closed and I assume it means the message has not been read. The thing is I have not been able to find out how to access the...

    Infotainment updates

    It would appear that MG4s have had a few updates to their infotainment, and I was wondering if anyone has had their MG ZSs infotainment ‘updated’. I recently had the first service on my car, and requested updates to the VCU EVCC CCU BMS and BCM modules. Since I have very little idea what most...

    Infotainment screen partially blanks out

    I have an MG4 Trophy that recently had some updates, incuding the infotainment update that made the system feel more refind. The infotainment screen has blanked out a few times with the exception of the top and right hand menus. ( See photo). I am still learning about this but it seems touching...

    Not just the infotainment that is buggy

    I asked the dealer about the cost and availability of spare parts such as wheels and tyres, thinking I might stash a few away before they change the design. After a day of trying he still can't access the MG-internal parts site. Even sent me a screen shot:

    Hi, I am new to this forum and am looking for help for my 2023 MG5. Is there a way to get into some kind of "hidden menu" on the infotainment screen?

    Infotainment system video input

    Has anybody seen the infotainment system on the Pre-Facelift LR removed from the car? Wondering what connections it has, if any and how much of a challenge it is to remove. Want to try and fit a 360 degree camera system without adding another screen if possible.
