I think you need special equipment to actually update the software. Ours were just in for its yearly service, to keep the warranty, for some reason they got 2 work orders mixed up so they did a reset of our screen and now the navigation says it is not activated. They said they would need the...

Are you confusing the different cameras and sensors ? Camera at the top of the windscreen is the one that it uses for the lane keeping assistance. The small camera at the front of the bumper is only used for the 3D feature and to show the camera image on the screen for parking The black...

From what i have read, the MG ZS EV have a internal relay in the battery pack that achieves the same as this plug. First off, if the car is in an accident, airbags deployed and so on, this relay disconnects to prevent the risk of electrocution, but even if this does not happen, fire and rescue...

Trust me, i know the situation where the foot applied to the brake, slips and hits the accelerator. PS. Wife was driving and this accident was 100% on the other driver, whose foot slipped while the car was in reverse and he had his foot on the brake....Initially atleast o_O

I have this Home Assistant integration as well. Wife and daughter loves the Ikea button i mounted on the wall in the kitchen. When pressed it fires off the "Preheat car" so now they dont even have to go into the app to start heating "their" car, they just press the button on the wall. Only...

Never tried it to be honest, but is the car not programmed to NOT apply the accelerator if both pedals are pressed. I know from my swasticar, if i press both pedals, it will says something to the effect of "Accelerator and brake applied at the same time" give a chime and NOT apply any throttle.

Back in the day when people swapped their halogen bulbs for Xenon the police were very hard on people here, but those were also typically very bright to the point you would get a big white spot on your vision for minutes after passing one, but nowadays with better LED's that do not blind people...

2 things i can think of. 1. 2000 km in 4 days, all on CCS, could make the car derate the charging due to repeated CCS charges, which can be harder on the battery, the car will derate the charge speed to protect the batteries (Well to make sure they dont go below the warranty limit, to prevent...

Says on page 85 here, that it is a shortcut button, but i did not find any mention of how to set it. https://www.mg.co.uk/sites/default/files/2021-11/MG%20ZS%20Owner%20Manual.pdf On the 2.gen it is in the menu on the infotainment somewhere, i guess it must be the same on the 1.gen I think on...

Great I also drove mine on the tyres with the 2.6 in for a day, i was away from home, the temperature was -10C and for some reason all of the petrol station tyre inflation machines were out of comission (Most likely because no one ever drains the water that accumulate in such devices over time...

The warning about low tyre pressure is actually really valid. This happens because cold air takes up less space so the reason it complains is, the air in the tyres "shrunk". The reason it goes away is because when driving the "rolling resistance" warms up the tyres. I had this the other...

Our ZS EV is connected to our Home Assistant, home automation system, the integration "pretends" to be an "app user" so this works just like if you open up the app. Here we have been without connection to the server, just like if we opened the app in these intervals since Januar 1 January 2...

The protocol for DC fastcharging is a LOT more complicated than the (can barely be called a) protocol used for AC charging. The DC charging protocol includes a LOT of different stuff that can be communicated, i bet the reason the Tesla charging does not work for MG's without a software update...

Their system is really strange for us "foreigners" 69 = September 1, 2019 until February 29 2020 But if it was registered between March 1, 2019 and August 31, 2019 it would be a 19 plate. Here it is not possible to figure out when it was first registered from the license plate alone, but...

He states that it is a 2021 and 100-120km on bad days, all of that indicate that this is a first gen ZS EV, i dont think there is any Tesla upgrade for the Charger, sadly.
