MG ZS missing V2L function

V2L not working. This is a pretty long thread now, and I have read it through carefully. Posting in case there are others in the same situation. We have just bought a newly-registered ZS (74) but we now know that the motor was made in May 23 and the date of manufacture was 06/07/23. The number on our motor is the same as those mentioned above where V2L does not work. We have purchased one adaptor with 470 ohms and one with 1980 (approx) and neither work. So we plan to approach our Dealer and let him know we have a problem, which needs fixing. If MG will not honour the V2L then the dealer will have to replace it, as we were mis-sold the car. We told the salesman on several occasions that V2L was important to us for camping. We have had the car one week. Will update on progress in case there are still car owners with a similar problem.

Some 2023 models didn't work but it has to be fixed under warranty. Sooner you ask for it to be fixed, the better.

I seem to remember that it was a module that needed replacing to get V2L on later cars?

In early threads on this subject with cars that arrived without the V2L function available, was traced to the incorrect part number of modules fitted at the factory.
I will include what appeared to be the problem below, this was taken from a earlier thread on the subject.
“If you are unable discharge via the V2L then a quick part number check, is really worth while.
Cars arriving with EVCC modules part numbered :- 11408732.
Then these appear to be the non-functioning / incorrect modules.
The part number of the EVCC that dealers appear to be replacing them with are :- 11505199”.
The module is secured to the N/S chassis rail below the 12 volt battery.

Yes, thanks we're compiling a list. The latest is that Android Auto is not working even though my device recognised the car. If the car is actually nearly 2 years old I am guessing software will be out of date. Build date was July 23 but sold to us as new.

not the software problem. once you connect Bluetooth to the car, that's for music and phone calls only. You need USB-A cable (you will need to try 4-5 different ones until you get one that works) to connect your phone to the car for AA (right-hand side USB port). Alternative is £12 or so AA wireless dongle from AliExpress - I'm using one, works perfectly fine on my 2022 ZS ...
