    Carplay issue

    HI everybody. I have only just taken delivery of my pre-facelift MG5 and I have tried several times to get Apple Carplay to work. I have a question for other owners. When you press the Android Auto button on the touchscreen, with no phone plugged in, you get an error message telling you that it...

    Mg5 facelift model Vs preface lift

    I'm looking to take the plunge and get an mg5 soon, and have been focussed on the pre face lift models, as it looks like I can obtain a year old long range exclusive with low miles for around £22k. At the moment the facelift is around £29.5k new. Is the facelift really that much better...

    MG EV is it worth paying extra to buy from dealer?

    I'm looking to make the jump to electric vehicle very soon. There seems to be some good prices on 2022 mg5 long range exclusive models at the moment, going for around 20-23k on auto trader. For a year old model, how important do you think it is to buy from an MG dealer?

    Tesla Charger compatibility

    Hi all. Currently on holiday in France in my MG5 <2021). Tesla Superchargers are available in some locations, I tried charging at Folkestone and again in France. The Tesla app worked fine, however each time it didn't start charging. It appears it can't recognise it? Anyone else had issues or...

    Infotainment freezing fixed?

    I think the infotainment is overheating when it freezes. Mine (MG5 LR pre facelift) froze mid journey for the first time and it was after I put the heating on full and opened the vents on either side of it. I can't remember the last time I opened those vents or the last time it froze mid...

    MG5-SE cabin heater control

    I have just bought an MG5-SE and I am very disappointed with the cabin heater control. The model I have does not have automatic temperature control and the only way to alter the heating is on the central screen. This is quite dangerous when you are driving along as you are distracted from the...

    My boot rattles like it's catching when I close it.

    Hi everyone. Had my mg5 around 2 weeks and ever since purchase it's sounded like something is loose or catching when I close it. Are they all like this or is this something to take back to the show room?

    Reversing camera - where is it??

    OK, this is an odd one, and I know I'm going to feel an idiot when I get the answer. The view from my reversing camera is a bit grubby and blurred. It's started happening recently, after a load of muddy country roads and rain. So, first thought is to clean it. But I can't see where it is...

    SE or Trophy

    Trying to decide between an SE or Trophy, so both facelift. Would be looking at a new SE or an ex demo Trophy with 2-3k miles on, both would be roughly the same price. What would others do, go new with less fancy bits or buy used with a couple thousand miles for the same price? Cheers.

    Products For Piano Back Trim

    Any tips on products to clean and protect shiny black piano trim? I have had a facelift MG5 SE for just over a week and it has quite a lot of that trim. Also, after 800 miles I have 2 stone chips on rear door, only through to primer, no bare metal showing so touch up will suffice. Struggling...

    Heated seats issue!

    I've had two winters with a cold bum despite my MG5 being equipped with heated seats. I mentioned it to the dealers at service time but they didn't get chance to sort it and I never got round to booking it in again. Then it hardly seems worth bothering over Summer, service time comes round again...

    Charging port MG5

    I’ve been having issues with failed charges with my Ohme Home Pro. I’ve taken a look at the charge port on the MG and I’m wondering if this looks correct as the top right pin seems a lot further back than the rest. What does everyone else’s look like?
