Sounds like Australia.

I've done Melbourne - Sydney return in my 51. It takes a bit longer but it's doable. Pushing it along at 110kph is certainly a way to drop the range quickly though.

No, that's not what it means at all. Just because you let someone inside your house doesn't mean they can claim ownership of it. SAIC uses plenty of open source code, some through Android itself and other bits they added on. Good luck to the guy, but I doubt much will come of it.

Someone posted on the MG4 Facebook group today that they'd been contacted by their dealer to bring the car in for a newly released software update. Has anyone here heard anything like that? Only thing I've had was an email today telling me my roadside assistance had been extended after the...

My car is in for its 2 year service this morning. Should be interesting to see what they do with it (if anything).

I had another occurrence of AEB this morning. Moving into a right turn lane and the car must have seen something it didn't like. The car behind me barely stopped in time. It's not a matter of being alert and reacting, there was no chance of that. This came out of nowhere and for no...

On the current version the fuse box is buried behind the steering wheel because they didn't flip things. Just pointing out they have history of half-assing these things.

But for an internet connected system not getting any software updates. It's a security nightmare.

When I had a newer version of the FCIM software to what was on the server for me, SIPS highlighted that specifically.

Sure, but that's not an owners fault. That's on MG to come up with a better system and work with their dealers (who in my experience don't have nice things to say about the MG system full stop) If MG in the UK can have dealers proactively contact owners and arrange updates, they could do the...

The issue is the time to get these updates. Mines a 2023 delivered car and it's still not due for its first scheduled service until September. Lots of people won't have seen any updates yet.

I read somewhere the next update to the base model added Satnav. It was also the one that dropped from 51kWh to 49 kWh battery.

That means they've changed the configuration options for the car. They get stored on a separate partition to the system software and only ever get changed by SIPS downloading a new file from MG. Android only reads those values.

And this is why I don't post online sometimes... The kit came with the towbar, including the box and the fused wire to the battery.

If you want a new crash bar, I just pulled the one off mine today to fit the EV stealth towbar.
