    iOS Carplay, Apple Maps (EV), Wireless adapters

    Hey every one I wanted to bring together my experiences and thoughts on this topic and get other peoples views. I have used CarPlay for many years and like it over the built in systems. I prefer Apple Maps over other maps maybe just because I find it easy to use and have always used it. iOS...

Until today, I’ve had no concerns, and have been enjoying driving it. This afternoon I drove to town, a short six mile journey, and parked in a multi-storey. As I did...

    Archived SOLD Bridgestone Ecopia 422 Plus Approx. 1500 miles

    Hi, I managed to pick up a nail in one of my tires after 1500 miles. A bit miffed, especially as I couldn't find a Bridgestone 422 to match at a reasonable price, so have gone with two new Continentals. So I now have a spare going. It is a 205/60R16 off a MG5 EV Mk1. I am located near...

    MG5 Trophy Real World Consumption Thread

    Yes yes, we all know that your pre-facelift MG5s are capable of doing nine hundred miles after a thirty minute fast charge, etc. However, for those of us with the new Facelift MG5 Trophy, the numbers appear to be somewhat different! So, please ONLY contribute to this thread if you have an MG5...

    MG5 Facelift USB music and Android Auto simultaneously

    Well that was annoying. After trying loads of different USB sticks with different formatting in the right hand side USB port on my facelift MG5 Trophy and none of them working, I decided to actually read the manual. The manual reports that the right hand side is for USB power only. The left...

    Mg5 auto lights not working at dusk

    Just got a 72 plate mg5 exclusive. The auto light sensor goes crazy at dusk and in the dartford tunnel like it’s confused by the lighting level. It causes the infotainment screen and dash to momentarily flash multiple times. The only way to stop it is to switch to manual lights until it is...

    Mg5 72 plate not working with iSMART app

    Just got my ‘new’ mg5 exclusive. It’s pre-facelift but has the larger screen infotainment system. I can’t get a qr code to bind the iSMART app though. Is my car not compatible or am I doing something wrong??
