@lee graham Just had a thought mate, Does the car start charging with the doors unlocked AND open? or just with the doors unlocked but closed? I looked with the doors open and it wouldn't charge, but I did close them and not lock, but didn't leave it very long to see if that was the case. Edit...

Also, charging will not start without me locking the doors @lee graham so I guess it's a query with me and the dealer soon then

Looks like trickle charging is on, on the unit, so I've emailed to have it turned off, not so much of a problem on the weekend as it's 8p per Kw/h at the moment, but don't want it running if/when I'm using it outside the cheap rate ?

Apparently they are quite happy to switch the trickle on and off as required, I've not tested my Rolec charger properly yet so I'm not sure about turning the trickle off as of writing :)

Haha! I'm the same, I was so excited I could have android auto/MG pilot in the car! ? I missed out on Android auto by a year on the old car, I've already noticed on my couple of days commute that the electric is already more efficient for me, my mileage is stupidly low (55miles a week for work)...

I'm the same, I'm really happy with it, Time will tell if I remain loyal or not, apparently electric cars are suppose to have price parity by 2025, so when that time comes if I can get a longer range one for the same price as an equivalent petrol or diesel then I'll jump on it (Brand isn't...

I'm hoping I'm in the same situation as you then mate, I know it already had the Comfort 2 on the car as that was quite obvious when I picked it up, however I won't be able to test the "charging when unlocked" on the home charger until I get the longer cable later today (I'm too lazy to turn the...

I've read that it's the battery management system is SA15 update and HV fuse is SA10 update, not sure how accurate that is, but logically there could be more hence the SA017 that @lee graham mentions! I'll have to get on to my dealer next week I think.

Ahh, Getcha! It is a little confusing with all these updates, It would be good to have a list, haha. I would have "thought" that all the updates would have been done, but I'm guessing not. I'll try again tomorrow when I have a little more time :)

Hi Frank thanks for the reply. It wasn't really with the doors unlocked I was worried about, I've read that's it's a way to check whether the BMS update has been done (which includes timed charging) as obviously I want to take advantage of the smart charger night charging, but if the car goes to...

Charger was installed today, had a mess with it and it works fine, however, I'm not sure if the timed charging update has been installed.. granted I didn't leave it any more than 30 seconds, but the car didn't start charging with the doors unlocked, it did however start charging straight away...

I would be tempted to clear the cache for Android auto and start again, It might be having a bit of a "funny" about the new car, it might need to redo all the permissions for the new car.

That's my job for Friday, replacing the "drivers" lights and the boot light with LED :)

Need tints ?

Right, Have the car now! It's lovely! it already had the comfort 2 as it was like that when I picked it up. Don't know if it's had the other updates, but the garage said they would be done as part of the "job sheet" one thing that did ring alarm bells was that the dealer told me that I need to...

Hah, I have NO idea, when they came back with the price I decided to say no (Non surprisingly) i'll just drive forwards in to the drive if i need to. Installer came back with this: "I have made some enquires about the longer charging cable. Rolec do an after market 10m lead that will fit your...

I asked the same question of my installer, I was told £250 for the longer cable :)

I hope so! To be honest the dealer has been really good, family run place that's been there since the 20s apparently, however I get the feeling that it's not really moved with the times as such, customer service from them up to this point has been first rate, but I've sent a couple of emails to...

Little update.. Collecting car next Wednesday at 3pm. Apparently sales guy has spoken to their service manager and they will update everything before I get it. I won't hold my breath though until I see it.

Ooh interesting! I was wondering that myself, as my drive kind of "needs" to be reversed on to. I was wondering if the cable would reach to the front of the car.
