infotainment

Infotainment (a portmanteau of information and entertainment), also called soft news as a way to distinguish it from serious journalism or hard news, is a type of media, usually television or online, that provides a combination of information and entertainment. The term may be used disparagingly to devalue infotainment or soft news subjects in favor of more serious hard news subjects. Infotainment-based websites and social media apps are gaining traction due to their focused publishing of infotainment content, e.g. BuzzFeed.

    Ukrainian language support?

    SAIC officially sells MG in Ukrainian as it's Europe region market. It has dealers and services network there... But only one car has support of Ukrainian language, this is MG One. Does anyone know something about MGS5 EV and Ukrainian language in Infotainment screen?

At a little over 8,000 on the count, the counting froze...

    Infotainment screen lock/Passenger mode.

    Is there an infotainment lock on screen to prevent passengers and kids from changing important settings. I have the mg zs trophy hybrid + that I got the other day. If not, is there software updates, a work around of third party software that can help? Many Thanks Natasha Kent
