iSmart defaults to metric?

[CyberNewbie]

I set my iSmart settings to imperial (good old fashioned miles) but it keeps on going back to metric. Does anyone know how to get the app to remember the setting?

I have had 2 occasions where the car has switched from imperial to metric units without me selecting it. The first time I was unintentionally frustrating the driver behind me as I thought I was travelling at the 20mph speed limit, when I was actually doing 20kph (it did feel slow!!).

I am trying to identify when it is triggered and I have one theory at the moment.

That theory is when I log out of iSMART and then use the “forgot password” link to change the password, that process might have changed the units from imperial to metric.

Like I said it is just a theory at the moment (maybe others can comment on when it happens to them).

It is the settings on the app that default for me, the car has stayed with imperial (so far). I did report it to MG ([email protected]), they asked for details of issue, software versions etc and came back "We will make the necessary corrections and release a new version as soon as possible." We shall see...

I have had my car about 6 weeks, the car was fine with imperial settings but the app will change to metric within 1 minute of leaving the settings screen. HOWEVER, I had my car updated with latest software. Apparently the garage did everything apart from entertainment which is still at R28, and now the car keeps changing to metric which is really annoying as it is not just the sat nav that goes to km. But also the efficiency stats which become KWh per 100Km rather than miles per KWh. I suspect the app is overriding r the car so will look at unbinding the app in the next few days to see if it makes a difference.
