Very disappointed to be missing a mystery thingy on my Excite. Did find a bit of dirt that needs wiped off at the weekend though.

Gutted! Clearly not part of the "Exclusive" club

Ahh
The plot thickens
Only found on the exclusive then
But we are still no wiser what it’s for

Has to be related to the automatic climate control as that’s about the only difference that would justify a sensor. So cabin temperature sensor is say.

I think a couple of other people have said something along those lines and as you say with it not being in the excite model it could be the sensor
I’m going to vic youngs later this week to pick my sons mg zs ev up
I will ask the question

 

[Vipar]

Are there any wires connected to the back of it. If there are cut the black one first. I have watched all the James Bond films

Turn on the auto climate control button and set temp to just above ambient, then apply your warm finger. If it is related to cabin temp the air blown out should quickly turn to cool air from warm air I would have thought

had a look at my car today and it looks like the steering wheel adjustment lever

In the original picture, it’s a little ‘sensor’ (that now looks to be part of the Exclusive’s auto climate control) which is circled, just to the left of the steering wheel adjustment lever.

Looks like myself, @AdamMGEV & @Ian MG5 (who have all confirmed we had this 'thingy') all have an MG5 Exclusive - are there any Excite owners who have this? If not, would this confirm it's part of the Automatic Temperature Control, such as a temperature sensor as @djenson suggests?

I also have an MG5EV LR 22 plate and this is on my vehicle. No idea what it's for

Just spent 3 hours 45ft up a sycamore tree. Turns out that little button on my LR is the ejector seat. Couldn't resist pressing it. What will they think of next.

 

[djenson]

It's the exact same looking thing as the temperature sensor that's been on all my cars I've had with automatic climate control.

One time in my mini i connected diagnostic equipment and was able to see the "internal temperature" value quickly rise when my finger was on the sencer.
