Has anybody managed to locate the graphic equaliser. I’ve looked through the online manual, but there’s not even mention of a tone control. Surely there must be one.
 
Try clicking here @Noel.

Hi Clive, many thanks once again for responding to my pestering. I have taken a couple of photographs showing the screen on FM and dab radio and neither of them show anything where you are pointing at.
Not sure what looks like a field strength symbol on the DAB screen indicates, clicking it does nothing.
Cheers Noel.

Hmmm, well at least we know it's not the same as the MG3 Hybrid. What options do you get if you press the 3 little dots (. . .) at the top left of your screen?
 
Hi Clive. Thanks for your interest and help.

Clicking on the 3 dots offers up a series of choices, which are almost identical no mater if FM, or DAB is selected, non of them however provide anything relating to adjusting an equaliser/whatever.
You will see that one offers a choice of DAB to DAB, but selecting that does nothing, and without a proper manual there is no way to discover exactly what it is meant to do.

MG have rushed this model into the marketplace, I think I’ve already said, there’s no proper brochure, and no proper manual online, or paper. There is the one on iSmart, and another online, but they are in now way comprehensive, which the car is. The online one does not appertain to the ZS HYBRID + in a number of instances, which is bloody confusing.

Added to this is the fact that I’ve had difficulty insuring mine, due to the underwriter’s not having added the model to the list yet. All of these are oversights, which might well get adverse comment on line, and make prospective customers think twice.
If the time and effort spent producing a new car is compared to producing a manual and brochure it just doesn’t make sense.

My dealer, as said is 28 miles away, and the effort and cost of overcoming these, what are minor shortcomings, is making me wonder if I made the right choice.
Biding my time currently, however, I’m getting close to contacting Guy Pigounakis, the Commercial Director at MG Motor UK, and bringing my concerns to his attention.
Really Many thanks for your help and support, Noel.

My previous car was insured with LV= who refused to issuer my MG ZS 1.5 Hybrid+ Auto. Trophy They also said they would not look into adding it. So I used USwitch to find a new insurer.
The dealers brochures are the earlier version.
I've ordered a printed version of the Manual from an Ebay seller who assures me it does cover my car. If turns out not to cover my latest version of the car then I will return via Ebay guarantee.

I visited my dealer 8/9 days ago and he was awaiting a blue one from MG any time, on Tuesday am. he phoned it had arrived so I paid for it and collected Wednesday pm.
Had 6 miles on, now 100 after a 50 mile run to get the feel of it. I'm very happy with it.

(I would have put this in a new thread but can't see how to start threads, so sorry to OP for pushing in.)
 
Good evening David. I think I was the OP, and as far as I’m aware, it’s ok for you to respond to me. If I’m mistaken, I’m sure Clive, very helpful guy, will inform me.
Regarding LV, they advised me to try Confused. This resulted in a number of companies responding. I contacted Admiral, who were very helpful, and set up a policy for me. When I find the time I will be emailing LV’s CEO, and helping him understand the basic premise for running a business 😉.
A manual has appeared 🤗 it’s comprehensive, has 350 pages and lists nearly everything, but it fails in many cases, to tell you what to do, to make them work. You can find it on mg.co.uk it’s titled MG ZS/MG ZS Hybrid+ Version 1. I think it’s the same one as the one on the iSmart app. If you haven’t downloaded that yet, do, it’s very good.
Mine has 150 miles so far, and I’m very pleased with it.
Cheers Noel.
 
Hi, new ZS H+ Trophy owner here. Has anyone found any Tone/Balance/Fader controls? I can’t find them for the life of me! And I can’t see how to turn the screen off. Any ideas please?
Thanks, Mark
 
Also a new owner. Regarding a graphic equaliser, tone, whatever. As far as I’m aware there isn’t one, and believe me I’ve looked.
I don’t think you can switch the screen of. If you slide to the right hand screen, I think in the settings you can dim it.
 
Join me. The main irritation is that MG UK have only just got round to providing a manual. Give that this is a complicated car, a comprehensive manual is an absolute necessity, even though it comprises some 350 pages it fails miserably. There is not even mention of the Navigation system. See my other posts for more.
In the mean time I’ve discovered an ‘up to date’ manual for the MG3 hybrid on the MG website, and most of the kit is the same.
I am preparing to send a communication to GUY PIGOUNAKIS Managing Director of MG UK, expressing my concern. It will not be advertorial. I will list my numerous
concerns and ask for his help.
 
A long (~10 second) press on the home button will probably turn it off.
A swipe down from the home screen (does not work form carplay, just MG menus) gives a shortcut to turn the screen off (plus deactivate the LKA, unfortunately not to the speed bong), though the screen will not really go off, but be backlit black with an analogue clock shown. Still, a lot easier on the eyes than say the bright carplay screen.

Hi. Took delivery of mine last Saturday and loving it. But I have no time or balance or fade or anything controls that I can find. For the first ten minutes it only came out of one speaker till I found that setting!
