MG IM5 Owners' Wishlist

[Stuart Wright]

This thread is for IM5 owners to build a single wish list of features and improvements they would like to see on the car.
Please post any features you feel are missing, incomplete, or not working as expected as a reply to this thread. If possible, include:

• what you want changed
• why it matters
• any steps to reproduce (for bugs)
• photos or screenshots if relevant

The most important items should be listed first.

Established members can edit this first post to keep the list up to date. Items should be ordered by general consensus as the discussion develops.

MG are known to read the forum. The aim is to provide clear, prioritised feedback that can help shape future IM5 updates, ideally via OTA software updates where possible.

Having just got mine yesterday, a few things spring to mind:

1. Let us reposition the rear view camera. I'd probably prefer it on the right of the hud where the odometer etc. is but multiple options would be nice. The wheel currently obscures it.
2. Rearrange/hide apps. I'd personally like to hide tiktok, carplay and others from the top screen and move Android Auto up there.
3. Bluetooth autoconnection so AA can load up automatically
4. Remove the vpn block on the app. It refuses to work even when whitelisted. There's no valid reason for you to have this block in place. Other car apps are fine with it, as are my banking apps.

Something I’d like to see but haven’t seen mentioned before is user profiles. A profile would store everything - seat and mirror positions, radio station, adas settings etc.
Then buttons on widget panel to select driver 1 or driver 2 (so not automatic to cover adas rules).

A key fob that can be attached to a key ring. Mine has fallen out of my pocket twice.

Here are my software fix requests..

1. Terrible ACC/Pilot. (Summary: Don't brake late & aggressively to slow down, just ease off earlier)
2. Dashcam.. record from rear camera as well as front. (maybe even sentry mode in future).
3. Move the rear view camera view left a bit (currently obscured by steering wheel).
4. Don't close Carplay on the top screen when you interact with the bottom screen.
5. Self park / curbside / reverse are all unreliable and need work.
