    Manual re audio system?

    I set up a series of folders on a USB stick containing music, but the audio system just seems to have everything in one long list. Is there a way to navigate via the folders? Sorry to raise it, but I can't find the info in the manual.

    Audio on power on

    When my MG5 Trophy is powered up the audio automatically comes on - defaulting to whatever was on last. I can press mute to stop it and have now set the volume to it's lowest setting so that it's not irritating. I much prefer the audio to stay off until I want it on, but can't find a setting -...

    Won't charge!

    Hi, I don't know if this has come up before, I had a look back but couldn't find anything obvious. I have the new MG5 standard 50kW. Only driven 1600kms from new. Mid Feb. Arrived back from Bordeaux (101km) with 21% battery remaining yesterday evening. I plugged in to my home charger (11kW) last...

    What problems can be caused by leaving the HV battery fully charged for several days?

    I've seen a number of posts in this forum where users have strongly advised that it is not good for the battery to be charged to 100% and the car not be driven for some days after the charge is complete. Can anyone tell me what the effect is likely to be on the battery? (Unfortunately, I first...

    Swapping out a standard to long range Battery

    Hi All, Looking at buying a MG5, we have found a nice looking car but it is not a long range - it is the new face lifted model though. Does anyone know if it is possible to swap the battery if it is not suitable for our needs? We do not quite know as this is our first EV. Many thanks, Bo

    MG5 Trophy

    Picked ours up today and very, very pleased with it. I thought that I'd be using Comfort and KERS 2, but found Eco and KERS 3 a nice relaxed ride.

    MG5 LR New Member

    Hi Folks. Just bought a used MG5 LR (my first EV) and very happy with it. I had a PHEV previously but got fed up with dragging around a petrol engine when I mostly do short journeys. James and Kate (youtube channel) finally persuaded me on the MG5 LR. I have already found loads of info on this...

    MG5 key fob skin

    My MG5 key fob button was pressed by another set of keys in my pocket and the plastic button broke off. I could not see a long term way of gluing it back on and so I searched eBay and Amazon for replacements as well as considering a new key from MG Guildford. I found this rubberised skin which...

    Liquid stains from vents?

    I’ve just bought a 2021 MG5 EV, I have noticed a few issues - a deep metallic clunk can be heard when moving off and felt through the pedal and footwell, and also even more noticeably, white liquid stains are appearing inside the cabin around the vents on the left hand side. Nothing on the right...

    Software Versions

    So my 2022 pre-facelift MG5 is going in for its first service next week. Ideally I'd like to make a note of any software versions that are accessible to the user who hasn't invested in one of those dongle things, but despite searching the forum I can't find anything that helps much for my car...

    V2L - Constant load to keep working?

    Looking at trying the V2L function on the MG5 facelift and just wondering if anyone knows if it needs constant load to keep working? For example for a fridge or freezer, they won’t be on constantly, so would the V2L turn off as there is no load? If so is there a set amount of time it would be...

    ??More Practical Rear View Mirror??

    Hi all I’ve been meaning to remove the interior rear view mirror for a bit now I thought it was a bit on the large side and even when it was put up in its highest position still restricted the view through the windscreen As I had no need for an auto dipping rear view mirror (I have limo tint in...

    MG5 Roof Rail 75kg Capacity - SR/LR or year?

    Hi all, I’ve seen a 2021 MG5 52.5kwh battery car i’m interested in buying, but despite searching forum posts and reading manuals, i’m still not clear which models can support a 75kg roof bar load and which can only support 35kg. Was it a certain year that this changed, or is it just all models...

    Why no app for the 2022 MG5 non facelift model?

    I bought 2022 December model MG5...I assumed that the MG5 app would operate with my car. I feel cheated really that there isn't an app for it, as it only works with the facelift model. Surely MG can do an update that will allow our cars to work with an app, the info that you can get wold be...

    Forced change of Dealer.

    The dealer that sold me my MG, JB Motors, Banbury, no longer has a MG franchise. The nearest options to me are Oxford MG, Cumnor Hill, Perrys MG in Aylesbury, or Eden in Swindon. Does anyone have any experience with these companies? They are all some distance away and not easy to access by...
