Guesses: Should be no more than £300 fitted. Therefore probably £450?

If it helps regarding the door opening sensors, the sensors will stop the door significantly before the imposing object. It is still possible to move the door manually (by physically pushing the door up). I found this out when in a supermarket car park I parked next to a low hedge (about 1m...

The dealership have been keen to help with the alarm activation issue. They tell me that they will “plug into” the car and should be able to determine which sensor is activating the alarm. This should then give them a path to a solution. I will be visiting the dealership on 11 August. I will...

Which part do you turn off? I assume it is the interior monitor, is that correct?

I had the alarm issue today. The car was parked about 60 miles from home in a car park at a marina. The alarm activated and self cancelled twice in the space of 6 minutes. The cancellation occurred 19 seconds after the activation according to the messages in the app. I was concerned about it...

Thank you. That was great advice. Here are photos showing the first panel which must be removed.

Can anyone help with the removal of the drivers side knee panel? I see in the pictures how it should release, but I cannot seem to get the clips nearest the door to release. I am concerned that I will snap the panel with the force I am having to apply. Has anyone any suggestions as to how those...

I have had 2 occasions where the car has switched from imperial to metric units without me selecting it. The first time I was unintentionally frustrating the driver behind me as I thought I was travelling at the 20mph speed limit, when I was actually doing 20kph (it did feel slow!!). I am...

A couple of things you might want to ask them to ensure they do: 1. Reset the service monitor, if it has taken a while for the car to arrive, then you may have lost several days on the 1 year service interval, also, mine had less than 7,000 miles to the next service, and yet the service...

I too had some difficulty getting the MG SAIC integration to work. I believe the key to it is the secondary users requirement. Under the important notes, it states that it is required to use a secondary user account. These are set up in the iSMART app as follows: Go to the profile page in...

This is from Home Assistant using the MG SAIC integration (available in Home Assistant Community Store-HACS) and then selecting the ancillary battery entity to display the history. Home Assistant thread

I suggest that the dealership is asked to put the 12v battery on charge while performing the update. Note how low the battery is maintained by the built in system. Below is a graph showing the level maintained by the automatic system while the car is stationary for several days. The car was...

If it helps, I bought the MGTitan one and it works very well. I have changed the magnetic attachment ring for an ESP halolock charging mount. The MGTitam mount attaches well to the corner of the screen and it has a little foot which rests on the dashboard behind the screen. It is very secure, I...

I have just become aware of the issues of the drained 12v battery after a colleague showed me the Autocar article. I have just checked the bonnet release under the flap (and yes it sets the alarm off if the car is locked!). I have very nearly drained the battery in the same way as Brian, it is...

When I took the Cyberster GT with R28 software I believe it took more than 3 attempts using a laptop for the update to be accepted. I understand that on at least one of the attempts the low battery voltage (as mentioned earlier in this thread) may have been a problem. Their solution to that was...
