iSmart app x2

[Wilse]

Hi all, hope all's well.
Having our S5EV Trophy LR delivered on 17th and no doubt will post endless questions on here for advice. Apologies in advance
Q1: Does my wife need her own account set up for her app, independently bound to the car, or will one account in my name be enough? I can set the app up on her phone with my existing account details but can the car accept more than one device bound to it via iSmart?
Q2: I've purchased a few items from MGTitan, namely the door edge protectors, mud guards, centre console storage tray, armrest tray, tonneau cover, but I still need to purchase a boot and floor mats. I'm tempted by the rubber versions (no, not to satisfy any odd fetish) and preferably low/no odour versions (wife and kids have sensory issues). Any recommendations of where best to buy them? I'm also considering to buy some 'nice' seat covers to keep them as protected as possible. Any recommendations for these would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance, your comments are appreciated

We have 2 devices running iSmart, but you have to reenter the password if switching devices & can only have one device connected at a time.

I don't think iSmart is essential, but guess its handy (like this morning) to de-ice the front & rear windows & wing mirrors, and to turn on the heated seats & steering wheel, before we venture out in the cold!

Also when having a coffee in a cafe while waiting for car to charge, it allows you to remotely watch charge level.

But none of these things are essential, and the comms between iSmart, the European server and the car itself are not completely reliable.

I guess re-entering a password isn't that much butt ache but more than likely it'll be me on my phone sending instructions etc to the car, the missus would only end up resetting it

I got my rubber floor mats from Carmats.co.uk, a UK company based in Chesterfield, and they do guaranteed odour free rubber mats for the car and the boot.

I have a complete set that I don't think I'll use, in wine red. You are welcome to them, free of charge, but, I have to be honest, I CBA to pack them up and post them.

Leighton Buzzard is not on my route, do you ever go anywhere near:
Biggin Hill
Bromley
Sevenoaks
Morden
Epsom
Acton
Central London
Shepherds Bush?

If @Wilse doesn't want/can't pick them up, then anyone else is welcome if we can do the logistics

That's very kind of you but I'll pass on them. Hopefully someone will take you up on that offer

Does my wife need her own account

Not sure if it's the same over your way. Here in Australia, the iSmart app has a "share" function where the main owner can share another person with different email account. The shared user can use the iSmart app independently without effecting the first owner and vice versa.

I'll look into that, thanks
