MG iSmart tutorial/overview video, and differences between Trophy and Trophy Connect specifications (in UK)

Very informative, thanks Miles!
Couldn't get my app to register though, haha. (I like to be prepared! :D)
 
Hello Miles. thanks again for the informative video. if you soon have time, information about navigation with voice control and real-time traffic information would be interesting. thanks
 
Do you only get real-time traffic updates on the connect ?
Do you know who supplies the data for this ?
 
Can you preheat or pre-cool the car while it's charging ?

Yes, would be very helpful if you can test the Sat nav and map functions, if the car can find charging stations nearby and filter them by network/charging speed.
 
Impressive - both the video and content ;-) Can more than one user use the app registered to the same car? Husband and wife for example...
 
Great video thanks. Appreciate it if you could explain what the wifi hotspot can do, which I believe is a connect option?
 
I ended up using my email address to register, rather than phone number, as I found it too hit-and-miss with the activation code being sent through.
Still having problems registering, phone or email. Darn those servers! ?

One thing to watch out for, on Android anyway, is they're using their own keyboard for the initial password entry and unlike the standard it doesn't automatically reset caps lock.
Didn't notice when I entered mine and it was nothing like I thought I'd entered; e.g. ThisIsMyPassword became THISiSmYpASSWORD. When it prompted again wouldn't recognise the password because I was entering it "correctly".

Yep, this caught me out too!
 
Is the charge scheduling just time based, or can you set a different schedule say for the weekend?

Also noticed there doesn't seem to be any way of scheduling pre-conditioning?

I suppose the next question is, if not, do we know if they're planned to be added?
 
Unfortunately won't work on MG5 -EV . Surely, a software update could enable this?
 
@MilesperkWh I've noticed on our Trophy there is no User button.

The binding is in a different location: Settings -> Data Binding. I don't know if it's a Trophy vs Trophy Connect thing or just a difference in software versions.

This is what I currently have:
MPU software version SWI66-29958-1300R15
MCU software version 66.3.1.2

@Hotlush it's just a simple start/stop time unfortunately.

There is no current way to schedule pre-conditioning in the app.

Thanks Miles can you tell me what voice control does on the Trophy with my phone connected please.
@ODONO had a play with this today, using Android auto it activates the Google assistant, I presume it does something similar on Apple Carplay. With the phone unplugged it does nothing.
