    Switched my MG5 for an MGS5

    Not seen the freeze problem so far, but I do use Android Auto, not Car Play. As for the reboot, have you tried pressing and holding (for about 10 seconds) the Home button (on the fascia, not the screen)?

    MGS5 12V battery dead

    I have this one. Never yet needed to use it but, as noted in post #24 in this thread, it is now stored in the front of the cabin and so ready to use! I can't remember how much I paid for it but it was certainly less than the price listed on that Amazon page! EDITED: to correct the link!

    MGS5 12V battery dead

    The "dead car" scenario has happened to me this morning! I suspect it is a 12v battery problem since car would not unlock. Mechanical key allowed access but no response to sitting on the driver's seat, so AA called and on their way. I now very much realise the reason for advice I've read here...

    EV tariff increases the daily tariff !

    Re: MGS5 and (some) access to its API. Somewhat to my surprise I recently discovered that the ev.energy app which controls my Rolec Charger actually receives at least basic data also from my S5, even when the car is not plugged into the charger. I've just checked the app again and it reports...

    MGS5 Map Updates

    Prior to owning my (now "retired") MG5 PFL I owned a Diesel MG6 which used Naviextras maps etc. Only the first update released by NNG was "free", all subsequent ones had to be purchased, at a cost of anything up to £120! Android Auto could not be used with the 6 so, perhaps very foolishly, I...

    Hive EO mini 3 & MG4 charging issues

    I'm not sure your question is directly relevant to this thread, but... In my early days with my charger, in my case by Rolec, I experienced the same issue: over-voltage causing the charger to shut down. The only solution is to insist your DNO comes and checks it; in my case they monitored it...

    MGS5 12V battery dead

    That should occur only if the car is plugged into a charger, I think. If it is happening for you without your car being connected to a charger this is something you need to point out to your dealer. I've also heard these "relay" sounds but usually for only a few minutes immediately after the...

    MGS5 12V battery dead

    Ditto here with that very annoying message but, at least at the moment, I'm not seeing any parasitic 12v drain so the issues may not be related.

    Merry Xmas MGS5

    1. I find the DAB radio to not be "unacceptable" overall! Yes, there can be real problems caused by the radio switching between DAB and FM when the signal for the former drops out. 2. Have you tried activating the 360 camera when moving forward slowly, as you would when parking? On mine...

    Merry Xmas MGS5

    I've had mine just over 2 weeks; still "finding my way around it" (settings, menus etc.) but so far, I'm delighted with it. I previously owned an MG5 PFL and this is really a whole step up.

    Service costs over 5 years.

    Where were those prices from? Are they the "official" MG Service Plan figures which start on this page? I've just taken one out for my S5, 5 years, a total of just over £1145.

    MGS5 auto dipping headlights

    My solution to this "problem": turn off the setting for Auto High Beam! I experienced the same issue with my MG5 PFL and the "solution" was the same.

    Battery Equalisation/Balancing MGS5 second attempt

    Oh dear! I really do need to check my Car Scanner app more closely! Thank you for helping this old man to "see clearly"!

    MG 4 long range battery

    @Golea9 Welcome to the MGEV Community Forums! No need to apologise for being a newbie!! We were all in that situation once. I can't move your post and I don't think you can either. But I've tagged two of the Forum moderators who can move the whole thread.
