Changing the infotainment unit

[staarek]

hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone changed the infotainment unit in their MG5? It's a excite, LR, pre FL version. I'm looking at getting second hand unit on ebay, is it a straight swap, or are these units coded to the VIN or something? Thanks!

What's wrong with your existing unit?

Android Auto/Apple car play doesn't work.

Have you checked the lead?

It will only work if the phone is plugged in with the correct lead.

They are a pain, can depend on the lead, wear and tear in the USB socket etc. The simple answer is an USB stick dongle to make it wireless.

I checked loads of leads/phones but no luck. AA worked for a little wile after i got the car, but then it just stopped and never worked again. MG had a look at it twice, but they cannot figure it out but are not keen to change the whole infotainment unit.

I tried with wireless dongle, but still no joy.
