    What's the missing button?

    OK so on the early models shown in reviews there were three switches entitled MODE, KERS and BATTERY. Now there are three switches but only marked up as MODE, KERS and blank. Nothing in the manual about it so assume it is redundant. Anyone know what this was all about?

    Making Phone calls

    Having been able to receive and make calls remotely by steering wheel controls on my previous ICE, am I correct in thinking you cannot make remote calls on MG5, only receive this way?
