DAB radio cutting out in MGS5 EV

[tor]

Plenty of stations also on the internet
...If you can get web access!

I have like a 1GB of data included. That's all I can afford after buying a new car. There's some data included for the car, if I remember right, but I'm not sure if one can use that for web radio.

With all the money you are saving by not using fossil fuels perhaps you need to change your phone contract. For example in the UK Smarty have a deal with 24GB data, unlimited texts and calls for £7/month

Simple, honest mobile

SMARTY is a new SIM-only mobile network that’s built to be fair, transparent and smart.

That's an insanely good mobile plan, we don't have that here. And I'm not really saving anything yet. I don't drive enough, so i haven't "paid off" the wall box yet.

If you can find a 48K stream for your favourite Radio Station, you can listen for less than 25MB per hour; or about 40 hours per month if you want to use all your 1GB allowance

If you are a 'News & Chat' junkie, then a 24k mono stream could give you 80 hours at acceptable quality.

Sorry this is 96k but a good option, if you like Jazz obviously - https://stream.srg-ssr.ch/m/rsj/aacp_96

Only just started having the DAB/FM problem. If i listen to radio its only ever 1 DAB station. Its always kept the station as default, although sometimes i have to press play on the screen or click the radio tile for it to start. But 2 days ago and since everytime I get in the car it defaults to radio4 on fm. Highly annoying to have to go in and change to DAB. Not sure why this would be something new to happen?

 

[TimothyN]

I dream of it defaulting to R4

One thing to also consider is a dashcam installed as this can effect the DASB radio in any car

DASB was a finger fault should be DAB

Whats odd is that I installed a dashcam thursday afternoon and since then its been back to normal defaulting to DAB

Did you use the USB socket at the side of the mirror housing or was it hard wired from the fuse box?

 

[daEV]

Yeh i used the USB at the side of the mirror

Buongiorno a tutti, scrittore dell'Italia.
Segnalalo lo stesso problema, io e un amico abbiamo acquistato due MG S5 in concessionarie diverse e confrontandoci abbiamo riscontrato lo stesso problema con la radio oltre ad altri problemi già evidenziati nel forum.
La concessionaria ci rassicura che a breve uscirà un aggiornamento del software...mah!

Good morning everyone, writer from Italy.
I'm reporting the same problem. A friend and I purchased two MG S5s from different dealerships, and after comparing them, we found the same problem with the radio, in addition to other issues already highlighted in the forum.
The dealership reassured us that a software update will be released soon... oh well!
