Welcome to the inside of the MG ZS EV! I'm going to give you a quick walk around
the infotainment system so if you buy one of these cars or if you're looking to buy one of these cars
you know what everything does okay right let's get straight into it so we've got the overview of the
menu here which makes it really really simple to see what's going on and in front of me we've
got our eight inch touchscreen which is very very clear and easy to see underneath it we have some
button controls for that and then underneath that we have our climate controls and then down here
we have our controls for the various modes for the electric driving and also the gear selector
let's start off looking at the screen so along the bottom here we have several options we have phone
car setup pictures video and then if i tap on a little arrow i can go to off which will turn off
the screen let's click on phone and phone will take me to the bluetooth settings now nothing
is actually connected right now to this so let's actually plug a phone in and let's get my android
phone and let's connect it up here and that is now connected so once plugged in that will bring up
android auto and then i can click on android auto and i have access to my maps and everything else
i need to do on android auto i can go into my list of apps i can see all the options i want to
use there and i could just use it like you would use android auto open up spotify and i can turn
the volume up and down by just turning the knob there very very easy to use let's have a look at
apple carplay my iphone is connected now i tap on it and you know exactly as you would expect
carplay to look you've got your quick settings you've got your overview you've got your apps
interestingly it looks like there's an extra layer of apps on here which is fun to see slightly more
options on the top here than on some of the other cars well they only had four this has five now
and then we've got our quick settings and it works exactly like you would expect
if we go back to the home screen by pressing the big circle home button in the middle
we go to phone you'll see it now takes me to my list of contacts and to the dialing pad
and then i can go into contacts i can go into my call history and i can go into my bluetooth
settings and this will connect with bluetooth if you set up your phone or if you use android auto
apple carplay it will automatically connect up the phone very simple to use i can then go back to
the main home screen i can click on car and this takes us through our driver assistance features so
we've got our speed assist system here we've got the warning for speeding on or off so i've got
it on and we've got our speed assist mode manual intelligent which will adjust the speed and give
you information you need as you're driving let's leave it let's leave it on intelligent
we've got our lane assist system you can turn it on or off or you can have the assist mode so
it actually keeps you in your lane and steers for you it just beeps at you or only helps you
if you're swerving out of the lane we've got our audible alerts we've got alert sensitivity
and we've got whether it gives you a vibration alert in the steering wheel i would always
have these on i think these are really important features to use and then mg pile on or off which
basically combines all of the features the lane assists the dynamic cruise control the warning for
blind spots it takes all that information and it puts it together so it can assist you when driving
we've then got our forward collision system on and off assist mode whether it will break for
you by emergency just alert you again do you want it to break when somebody walks in front of you
pedestrian alert on or off rear driving assist so if somebody pops up behind you so this was
actually off so let's turn that on and now we've got the blind spot detection the lane change
assist on and the rear cross traffic alert on so if i try and change lane it will warn me and help
me and this is all under the mg pilot setting so i really really recommend it it's got all of the
latest safety features comfort and convenience follow me home find my car the lights will turn
on the horn if you press the button on the key auto high beam on off again i would turn that on
and you can adjust what the steering wheel controllers change here with a smartphone
home car etc so i like that so i like that you can control your smartphone from that on the
right hand side we have our driving maintenance we've got our hill descent control system which
will help make sure you don't go down the hill too fast and then we've got our factory settings so
really good driver assistance features very easy to use very simple all laid out for you let's go
to our setup now and in setup we get our volume settings for audio our radio settings bluetooth
display so that kind of stuff so you can see here we've got our volume settings for our system beeps
key beeps adaptive volume loudness we've got our eq settings so we can adjust the bass and we've
got presets rock jazz vocals custom pop classic i will go to rocks i like rock and we've got our
sound stage so we can have do you want 3d sound do we want it focused on the left or the right in
the middle and do we want the virtual subwoofer on as well then we've got our radio settings do
we want the traffic announcements on do we want to automatically find a different fm radio if there's
an issue there or the dab do you want to receive digital audio broadcast radio announcements for
news weather etc you can select that if you want to you can adjust the time underneath here you've
got your bluetooth settings you can connect to manually or as i showed it will automatically
do it through azure auto and apple carplay and then we've got our display settings what
brightness do you want do you want the backlit mode to adjust to brighter on day or night so
it adjusts automatically for that and our system settings do you want to update the navigation do
you want a factory reset do you want to update the navigation all of these things you can do
on the system very very intuitive very very simple now if i plug in a usb stick then i can
get access to pictures and video or i can turn the screen off so i don't have a usb stick to stick in
if you look at the home screen settings we have our music status which could be android auto apple
carplay or the radio we've got our navigation button and we've got our buttons for azure auto
and apple carplay if you want to quickly go to the main home screen instead of just the audio
and that's the infotainment system at the top here you have a bluetooth logo so you know you're on
bluetooth so it's showing you the status of that it's showing you your air conditioning is on it's
showing you your driver assistance features and where the air is coming from so it's giving you
the status up here the temperature and the time very very simple very easy to use right
let's go into navigation now let's boot up the navigation system so we're in the navigation now
if i'm honest with you it's a bit basic this navigation system i would really
suggest you plug in your phone and use android auto apple carplay but it's there if you need to
use it you can of course use it just as you would expect you can select waypoints find places nearby
save and show charging locations add alert points and generally just navigate to whatever you want
and you can zoom in and you can zoom out all you want and you can change it between 2d
and 3d if you want to it's a simple enough to use navigation system although not as good as
using your phone if i'm honest so just use android automatic carplay they put it on here for a reason
so use it that would be my recommendation plus you don't have to connect the bluetooth to your phone
have a cable plug it in it's not wireless is wired let's look at the physical buttons underneath
the screen so we've got our buttons for changing between the audio sources these buttons underneath
will let you change the audio source from android auto to fm to am to dab about android auto you
can skip the tracks forward and backwards using those buttons there mute it with the mute button
and obviously the big center button is your home button and also your volume control if you want
to use that if we look at the center dial in the middle i can scroll through it by pressing
the little arrow buttons so i can go to our menu it shows speed warning traction control off and
next service i can go to our assistance settings so this will show me when the lane assist is on
and off when the adapter cruises on and off and then we've got our warning information and i can
scroll through like that our main screen shows our current speed and the gear we're in the mode we're
in and that's it that's the infotainment on the mg zs ev really simple to use it has everything
you could want it's got all the great driver assistance features that i've shown you check
