    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...

    Phantom charging incident

    We bought our MG5 LR just over a week ago and I’m loving it so far. There was one strange incident though and I thought I’d check to see if anyone had experienced a similar problem. My partner charged the car overnight, drive off to a meeting and parked as normal. When it was time to leave...

    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...

    Why did SAIC choose the MG brand and not Rover?

    I'm sure people have noticed that the cars we currently drive are not exactly sports cars? Maybe they will do a real 2 seater, wind in the hair electric sports car one day, but for now, no. So why didn't they use the Rover brand name, which would suit the character of the existing range so...

    MG Vehicle Operations have lost my MG5

    My MG5 was delivered to the UK on 3rd November and it was booked to be delivered to my dealer on 20th November, but it was missing on the delivery. It seems that MG Vehicle Operations have lost it and one other. The dealer, other buyer and I are getting just silly respo0nses! Any ideas?
