Hi all my hybrid+ 75 plate less than week old, lost dab signal on a long drive never returned, now can’t get any stations on dab, fm and am got error message when starting up “usb disk initialisation failure” went to
Dealer took Earth of battery to initiate full restart, cured problem.. found needs software update, going in tomorrow in mean time error reoccurred at same spot, its as if dab loses signal and can’t reaquire, loading all of radio. Any one else had this?
 
Had the same issue with my mg hs hybrid+ that i have had since getting at the end of August. Had this issue three times and been back to the dealer twice and now there again since last week. Seems to be the same issue that other people have had and seems to be linked to the software of the DAB radio and when the vehicle moves from area to area or could be possibly to do when connecting a mobile phone through a usb lead but might not be the case. The dealer says that they have been doing different software updates to sort the issue. Interestly these issue seems to affect some of the phev models as well and also other mg models in their range. Hopefully though this issue will be fixed this time around by the dealer.

Hi, just got car back after 4 days in dealership.. dab working, but will need to go back for a software patch. Probley next week!
 
Hi I had same problem on Zs Ev dealer has just fitted an new radio module, I think they called it an RBMS and usb lead, only just got car back so hopefully it’s sorted, they had the car for over a week and it’s come back filthy so not happy with them but if radio is working fine hey ho I’ll have to live with it . When I got it back all my channels where still stored and recent sat nav addresses still there if radio module was changed I thought this would all disappear and be a clean install. Any thoughts .
 
First thought, I thought they had to take battery off to initialise a hard software restart, this would wipe all data what does info on mpg / mileage etc accumulated say if reset then software restart if same no software restart! I got mine back after 4 days roving mg specialist looked at it and was insistent not a radio hardware problem but a software, so far so good. They should have cleaned the car as well mine did! Hope this helps.

Yes, almost exactly same. 1 week old HS hybrid, radio stopped playing in area of weak signal. Garage repaired but same thing happened yesterday. Same USB message too.
