    How does Find My Car work?

    Great, thanks. Reason for my question was that my dealer told me the car didn't have any data capability of its own, and a hotspot was effectively just making the network data capability of the plugged-in phone available to other phones in the car. I hope your dealer is right particularly...

    How does Find My Car work?

    On the facelifted MG5 the iSmart app has find my car feature, which seems to have 2 modes : 1. If car is some distance away you get a map directing you to the approximate location. How does this work? Assuming the car does not itself have data connection, I presume it relies on the phone having...

    ABI Codes for the new shape MG5 SE & Trophy?

    Yes, I just insured a facelifted MG5 Trophy with Direct Line. They didn't have the model listed and the reg no. was not found because it's literally been registered today. (In fact even the big comparison sites like GoCompare don't have that model listed). I said (correctly) that it's a...

    "Unused" Centre console switch

    Sorry, being a bit dumb - do you mean there are real mechanical up/down temperature switches (if so do you mean on the centre console between the seats, or the row of buttons on dash below the infotainment screen?)..........or are you talking about touch controls on the screen itself?

    "Unused" Centre console switch

    OK, thanks. If there's only one customisable button it sounds like a no-go in terms of temperature up/down which would need 2 buttons :)

    "Unused" Centre console switch

    On the facelift MG5, are there customisable steering wheel buttons like on the MG4? From glimpses of the dash in various review videos for the facelift, and reading a bit of documentation it looks like the right hand steering wheel button can only be used for things like trip meters, status...

    Battery type 1 or 2

    On the following thread there are links to MG5 facelift manual. https://www.mgevs.com/threads/mg5-long-range-new-2022-version-owners-manual.8392/ (Post was from Netherlands and the pictures in the manual - which is in English - are for Left Hand Drive car, but I presume the contents are...

    MG5 Mk2 LR Trophy - Shipping news

    Just heard that my MG5 Mk2 Trophy is now at the dealership, ready for collection next week. As it was ordered 9th November that'll be less than 4 weeks end to end. As mentioned earlier I suspect I must have got lucky - maybe a cancelled order or something that matched my requirements, so...

    MG5 Mk2 LR Trophy - Shipping news

    Mine is grey. Going by the estimated delivery dates I'm guessing both cars came in same consignment.

    MG5 Mk2 LR Trophy - Shipping news

    (Hope it's ok to put this on a new thread - there is a very long shipping thread but that's under the MG-ZS forum, which is why I put this onto the MG5 forum.) I ordered on 9th November. My dealer just told me that my car is now in port in this country, and he's expecting it at the dealer in...

    Nov 17th Budget - Tax impact for EVs

    I'm waiting for delivery of an EV, but I also drive a low emission (1 litre engine) ICE which is taxed at £30. Are they planning to get rid of the tax reduction for low emission ICEs before 2025? If not, I can't see how they could tax EVs at a higher rate than even the "greenest" ICE (currently...

    MG5 Pre Heating Defrosting

    Maybe I'm talking nonsense as I don't even have the car yet, but having looked at documentation, isn't the i-Smart app supposed to be able to be used to remotely turn on the A/C, demisting etc?

    MG5 Long Range (New 2022 version) - Owner's Manual?

    jpvdheijn - Thank you so much - that's brilliant! I had been debating whether to nip to my local dealer and jot down the VIN of the showroom car to enter into the webpage, but you've saved me the trouble - Thanks!

    MG5 Long Range (New 2022 version) - Owner's Manual?

    Thanks Gomev - I'll have a look at the existing MG5 handbook. Regarding the separate documentation for infotainment - is that available as PDF on the internet, and are there different docs for particular models (MG4, ZS, MG5) or is it one size fits all (although obviously some features won't be...

    MG5 Long Range (New 2022 version) - Owner's Manual?

    I was told that as well (4 weeks) when I ordered mine last week, (apparently the info was on some MG bulletin they had last Monday). But he said it's a bit of a lottery really, particularly regarding whether I get lucky regarding chosen colour. Reading between the lines and going from what...

    MG5 Long Range (New 2022 version) - Owner's Manual?

    I've got an MG5 LR Trophy on order but I can't find anywhere a pdf copy of the owner's manual. (Would be nice to get familiar with it in the several months I'll probably be waiting for the car...) MG's own (UK) website doesn't appear to have a manual for the new MG5 version. Does anyone have...
