Hi, new owner of an MG S5 as of 2 weeks ago,
Loving it so far, I do have an odd issue though that when I'm using the phone via Bluetooth or Android Auto sometimes the calls are sounding great, sometimes the caller sounds like a Darlek and sometimes the signal just cuts out altogether after a few seconds, I don't think it's to do with where I'm driving at the time because it happens in random locations, some urban some not.

Welcome to the forums!

I'm not sure about the "Dalek" problem - my experience is that this can occur at any time, without warning, and not exclusively when using a phone in a car - but the cutting out of the signal is something that I have experienced in my S5 (my previous MG5 suffered no such problem). If you do a search in the forum you will see this is something encountered by other S5 owners; various possible solutions have been suggested. I haven't tested any of them since I don't make, or receive, many calls whilst in the car and those that I have received recently have been fine!
 
I often have an issue I call it 'going banjo' with calls heavily distorted when on BT, only happens on BT so I assume that's to problem.
