No problems worked flawlessly out of the box and has had several updates which have worked without any drama. I'm also running Android 12 on my Samsung and I've not had any of the Android 12 issues reported elsewhere for cable-connected phones.

Yes and no. My wife has an older Samsung Galaxy A& phone and the MG ZS (Gen1) connects to that phone via Bluetooth whereas the MG ZS (Gen1) will not to my later A52 so she uses that since when she drives solo it's only ever local and doesn't us AA for that. Whereas I need AA when I'm in the car...

I assume that the Huawei update was after the US ruling against Huawei using Google's bits ie Google Play etc in their integration, was it? Whereas OnePlus can still use Google Android code on their phones. I've struggled with Android Auto on MG but to be fair it has been widely reported on...

True the next car may have 3-phase but the majority of public charging posts where you need your own type 2 cable are only single phase 7 kW in any case. The only time you would make use of the cable (in the UK in any case) are on those rare occasions that you roll up to a Rapid Charger and find...

I encountered the new Grid Serve chargers at Potters Bar Services on M25 with Double-headed CCS but because one was in use the other wouldn't connect. I spoke to customer service who said that they'd rolled out the upgrading of the Ecotricity Rapid chargers on the site to Ultra Chargers, but the...

Also, note that although ZS and MG4 (possibly MG5) sold in Europe support 3-phase charging via Type 2 Connector and Cable the UK spec cars do not and have 7 kW single phase charging so it is absolutely pointless buying or carrying a heavier 3 Phase cable since the car charging circuit is only a...

Review of AAWireless

You should know that some phones actually don't support Android Auto and others aren't fully supported by various MG models. My Honor 10 Lite although on Android 10 according to the documentation doesn't support AA and after two years I found this out so I bought a Samsung 52 18 months ago only...

Jonny for the Late Brake Show reviews MG5 Facelift (driven 1st Nov)

Well of course the Trophy has about 11 miles shorter range than the SE LR mainly due to the spoiler I believe. Although the Aero effect of the increased drag ought to improve stability at shall we say motorway speeds I am assured by one dealer I spoke to. As an aside, that blue is growing on...

I'm always surprised by people who look down on a Chinese-built car and use their iPhone (built in China) to express their opinions! more than a little inconsistent.

If you have been charging at home on the slow charging adapter which came with the car and has a 3 Pin plug at one end and a D-shaped "Type 2" plug at the other you will have been using only the top portion of the charging socket on your car. Your dealer should have explained this to you...

Did you call the GS helpline? I found them extremely helpful when I had a problem. They may have been able to resolve it for you with a remote reboot of the pump. Unfortunately, the technology isn't perfect and sometimes if the pump has a lock-up it isn't then able to report its own fault...

Put them in the back, that what I did to the mother-in-law lol

I don't suppose you have used any car interior cleaning products in the car such as those dashboard sprays have you? Otherwise as suggested by others it could be hand creams or alcohol hand sanitiser residue transferred to the steering wheel. I like the suggestion of using Bicarbonate to clean...

I dropped my preorder in August and I'm still waiting to hear!

LFP are certainly safer than Li-Ion principle since the electrolyte in a Li-Ion cell (ie the solution between the Anode and Cathode through which the "Ions" of Lithium travel in the charge and discharge of the cell), is inflammable but less so in LFP chemistry. In fact, the BYD "Blade" LFP cell...

I agree and this illustrates the difference of the two chemistries. Now consider this: the SR 51 kWh LFP can be charged daily to 100% and the LR 64 kWh Li-Ion is recommended to be charged for daily-drive to only 80% then we have the following. SR 51 kWh x 100% = 51 kWh LR 64 kWh x 80% = 51.2...

That's an excellent question. It isn't practicable to drive the car until you take it down to 80% just because you have done a balance charge, although there used to be a YouTuber who posted every day I once followed who would schedule the overnight balance charge for his Tesla Model S to be the...

Abismal efficiency though. PV to charge House Battery, House Battery discharge via an inverter to 230AC to DC Car Battery. There are Roundtrip losses into and out of the House Battery and unless your inverter can deliver 6-7 kW for a sustained period (most home battery storage solutions other...
