Most of the time it's ok, I get the normal radio graphic with a channel on it and the source, play and channel buttons work as you describe. But look at the picture above - do you ever see that weird radio picture? When that picture is shown on the screen then none of the touch buttons work...

I frequently get this when I start the car. The touch Play button does nothing, neither does the source touch arrows on the top or the channel buttons either side of Play. The only way I can actually get to the radio to come on is by pressing the Source button on the steering wheel, which is a...

When my car went in for a warranty fix I asked them to update the software and maps. Mine is a Jan 2024 Trophy Connect, yet the maps were 2022 and I knew that 2023 maps were available. They told me that dealers don't do map updates, they have to be done by owners (despite no instructions in any...

That shows 3.0 on the last 2500 miles

123 miles for a 51kWh battery (I think around 49 usable) looks like 2.5. The number on the instrument panel varies with each journey.

Mine is a 2024 Trophy standard range. On MG website it says range 198 miles (279 miles in slow moving traffic-yeah, sure) and most info says that in winter that can typically degrade by 10-20%. I go to my office about once a week which is 62 miles away, so should comfortably get there and back...

Thanks for that - I'll use it in future when it's a cold morning.

Well, I'll probably differ from many of the posts above. I bought my 2024 Trophy Connect in July, so had it nearly 6 months so here's my 2p worth: In my opinion, the UI was designed by an 18yo intern who has never driven a car. It's probably the worst I've seen in a long time. The touch takes...

Really? I have a Jan '24 Trophy Connect and can't see such a setting in the app. I can start the window demister or the A/C but can't see anything about battery heater or even battery temperature.

I haven't had to service mine yet, but I thought EVs were minimal servicing costs, supposedly one of the reasons for buying. I paid less than £400 to get my Mercedes E220D Convertible serviced with oil and filters etc.

Doesn't this negate the reason for having a wireless dongle? If you have to plug it in each time you get in the car, then may as well just plug the phone in. I had one of these wireless dongles for a while and had similar issues + it was temperamental so I just bought a short cable. I still find...

That's made me wonder about my status. I bought mine as an ex-demonstrator at 6 months old in July from Hendy. I insisted they did a service before I picked up the car, and just checking my documents I haven't got any record of that service. In the sale documents, on the vehicle details section...

With the type of battery in the ZS EV you can charge to 100% with no issues. Other than that, with Octopus Entergy and a compatible charger (mine is a Zappi) you can just tell Octopus to add x% and it works the rest out for you and creates a charging schedule at cheap rate (7p) and delivers the...

I get very little heat from mine while driving. In other cars I always have the climate set to 19 or sometimes 20. I felt cold the other day so set my MG to 24 and it didn't get any warmer. If I use the windscreen demister that blows hot air ok, but it's very noisy so don't want that on all the...

I have a Jan 2024 Trophy ZS EV Connect standard (no sunroof), which has voice commands. I saw that list quite some time ago and excitedly jumped in the car to try them out. However, it hardly recognises anything I say. I feel like this I talk to all my Google home devices a lot and they very...
