    Changing the infotainment unit

    hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone changed the infotainment unit in their MG5? It's a excite, LR, pre FL version. I'm looking at getting second hand unit on ebay, is it a straight swap, or are these units coded to the VIN or something? Thanks!

    New tyres - goodyear

    Went in for new tyres last week and they didn't have the usual Michelin Primacy 4s so fitted Goodyear Ultra grip Perfomance 3 instead. I'm only posting this to say they are incredibly quiet on the road, much quieter than the Michelins. Might be because they are winter tyres I don't know. Shame...

    MG5 software upgrade

    I just had my first service and asked for the software upgrade to accept Tesla chargers. Main reason being that on many motorway services there are many Tesla stations available but all other CCS chargers occupied. Do I need to download Tesla app? If so which one? Thanks

    My MG 5 LR pre FL has always charged smoothly on a Solaredge single phase charger. Have just charged it on my son’s Zappi which is a 3 phase model and although it worked ok the charging power profile had an oscillation on it as shown on photo. Not sure if this is the car or the Zappi and wonder...

    My 72 plate MG5 (pre-facelift) just failed its first MOT on both rear coil springs broken. I know exactly where it happened too - on the road between Longhorsley and the A1 in Northumberland (tried to include a link, but links don't seem to work here). The road bottoms out really sharply there...

    Wanted MG5 LR Exclusive

    Considering buying an MG5 long range to use as a workhorse as I do a fair bit of property maintenance. Not bothered about looks or bodywork as long as it's mechanically and battery in good nick. Been an EV driver since 2016 so know mileage isn't too much of an issue, looking for 80-100k. I'm...

    MG5 2021 ismart

    Hi everyone, I’m wondering if the 2021 MG5 can be connected to the iSmart app. I understand it doesn’t come with a QR code, but is there an aftermarket product or service that would let me monitor the charging status and see how much time is left? Thanks!

    OHME and iSmart

    I have an old OHME charger which I like as it worked well with the Octopus Agile tariff. Then it stopped working, around the time I replaced he MG5 PFL with the MG5 FL. It would get a spinning wheel and not connect, or on the few occasions when it did connect it would appear to take my updated...

    MG LR Park Gear release location

    Hey Guys, So I mad the fatal mistake of letting the main battery (HV) run out on the way to a charger. Note to all.... when the range says 0 miles, it really does mean 0 Miles :LOL: When you run out it looses power to all drive functions including ABS, Gear selection and so on. It does let you...
