Can anyone shed light on how to update the satnav in the prefacelift MG5 long range? I have looked on line and nowhere seems able to offer it.
.NaviExtras no longer support the MG5.......
I agree - Google/Apple Maps or Waze also shows live traffic too which the Inbuilt SatNav never did. That said, I have sometimes made better choices myself than Google Maps has...Forget about the onboard satnav, use Carplay or Android Auto, Google maps works just fine, is free and constantly updated.
Naviextras.com register the car on the software purchase map updates and speed camera database. Very easy to do.Can anyone shed light on how to update the satnav in the prefacelift MG5 long range? I have looked on line and nowhere seems able to offer it.
The built in navigation is updated through Naviextras.com where both maps and speed camera can be purchased and uploaded to the car. My speed cameras are now fully functional at £1.35I agree - Google/Apple Maps or Waze also shows live traffic too which the Inbuilt SatNav never did.

No different to the last 3 car I had mazda and Toyota all use the same update systemAgreed, but any updated maps are a whole different ball-game!

It's quite straightforward using naviextras.comI agree, it's a lot of hassle. I have looked at updating mine but I wasted a lot of time and got nowhere.
Yes, I've found it all straight forward too, I had this system in my Peugeot 308 Pioneer infotainment centre, so quite used to it.It's quite straightforward using naviextras.com
Is yours a pre facelift MG5? on my facelift there is no "Update Navigation" option. There is "Resource Update" but that won't do anything because it says that there is no map data on the USB stick.Yes, I've found it all straight forward too, I had this system in my Peugeot 308 Pioneer infotainment centre, so quite used to it.
There are 3 free updates on Naviextra's website, the last one being 2022Q4, plus of course the payup ones.
The ones I use are under the heading 'MG Touch' and 'MG5 Europe'
Stick your stick in the lefthand USB port, bring up 'System' on the 'Setup' display an scroll down to 'Update Navigation', click on that little window, and it'll warn that 'No Media Files found', ignore that, when it asks if you want continue, just press OK, it'll then inform you it's done and disconnect your stick.
Take your stick to your computer and have Naviextras Toolbox running, insert it and the 'Toolbox' should recognise it, and ask if you wish to 'Update', click OK, remove your stick safely, and just insert it in the lefthand USB slot, bring up the System in Setup, touch the 'Update' window and follow the instructions.
I must have done it 20 times since getting the car last August, never had a problem.
Naviextras is working fine
Hope it works for youView attachment 20485
Just done an update this very minute.
Thanks for the detailed info, it sounds reasonably easy I will give it a go.Yes, I've found it all straight forward too, I had this system in my Peugeot 308 Pioneer infotainment centre, so quite used to it.

It doesn't work for me . I'm assuming that the update process would take 20 to 30 minutes , same as my previous car . It takes about 5 seconds when I apply it to the car which leads me to believe it hasn't updated .Thanks for the detailed info, it sounds reasonably easy I will give it a go.
