It might be best to ask that in the MG5 forum.Which OBD2 is compatible with MG5 LR?

It should be enough for a recall yes, this shouldn't be happeningA Eurotunnel charger on the UK side got me. 'System fault - HV battery disconnected - stop safely'. The Trophy LR is now outside the Ashford MG dealer and we are in a Premer Inn about 200 yards away. Waiting for the garage to open. With the AA patrol we tried the system reboot options. The MG advised fix (elsewhere on the forum) of disconnecting the 12v battery and then clamping the negative and positive cables together for 10 mins to discharge the residual current/system memory and force a system reboot did not work. The OBD generic general fault reset did not work. The (temporary) replacement of the crap MG 12v battery with a beefier Bosch did not work. Praying to Saint Anthony...nope. This problem is often enough mentioned on the forum and I have seen mention of a software fix. If there is such a fix it needs to be applied urgently to all affected vehicles. MG pull your finger out.
Says the person who doesn't use rapid chargers ?I have not experienced any issues with my long range Trophy Connect. I don’t fancy the idea of a forced recall to “fix” a problem I don’t have. The chances of any software updated not “fixing”, but “breaking” my car make me want to stay away from the dealer.
Clearly, if my car had shown the problem then I would have liked it “fixed”. I would still like to have known what exactly they had been doing to fix the issue and what was causing it.
A good enough reason not too I would have said ?.Says the person who doesn't use rapid chargers ?
Can you confirm that when your ac charging now and press unlock that charging pauses and you can remove cable before it starts again?I am assured that the software update has been 100% effective and totally cured the issue.
Oh …… That’s a good question ??Can you confirm that when your ac charging now and press unlock that charging pauses and you can remove cable before it starts again?
I've noticed the AC charging behaviour changes once the update is done. Basically if you unlock the car it pauses AC charging so you can remove the cable. Previously you'd have to stop the charge from the screen or app.
Probably a good way of working out of your car has had the update.
Nice one !.
Hi @N2STY - Bit of an update on the above subject.Can you confirm that when your ac charging now and press unlock that charging pauses and you can remove cable before it starts again?
At least you now know that's 1/2 the battleSo, it would appear that my car has not been updated with the "Anti Bricking" fix then.
The other half is getting your local dealer to actually agree there is an update. That’s rather where I am now…?At least you now know that's 1/2 the battle
I intend to take my car back to the lads at the Chorley group, to try and ensure that when I have its first service done, plus any updates are done correctly !.The other half is getting your local dealer to actually agree there is an update. That’s rather where I am now…?
@Lovemyev I may have to do the same but it is a 430 mile round trip from my neck of the woods so trying to avoid that if possible since, at least on the way there, I would have to recharge once using a 7 kW charger that's 10 hours to get there - phew!
I get the distinct impression that the dealership are not well served by MG UK
Thanks @MichaelJHunt I’ll give them a go ?Cinderford MG are excellent and very good knowledgeable staff. Not quite so far from Somerset![]()
