MG5 Charge and Heat?

[89kab]

I have purchased a 2nd hand 22 plate MG5 (pre facelift). I'm struggling to work out how to charge the car whilst keeping the heating on in the car. I am only aware of being able to turn the heating on by pressing the start button, but as soon as the start button is pressed the charging seems to stop. This was specifically AC 7kW charger, someone on a different forum mentioned they could do it with DC rapid charging, is there a difference?

Anyone know if there's a specific order I should be using or another way to turn on heating without stopping the charging?

Hi, are you putting the car in ready mode with the green light on?
Can you get the radio to work and does the fan run but no real heat ?

Putting the car in ready mode allows the heater to work but it stops the charging.

Doesn't do that on mine, in winter I regularly sit in the car with the heating on while charging.

I can't get my FL to do it. The car doesn't seem to want the HV turned on while it's charging. My guess would be that the safety implications were considered to be too difficult to bother with.
