Bings & Bongs & steering tugging returned

[Joningy]

Mysterious return of the dreaded BINGS & BONGS for no apparent reason.

Suddenly MG Custom Pilot wasn't doing it's job and I don't know why, steering tugging on lane keep assist and the awfully annoying bongs on over speed limit, despite being turned off in Custom Pilot.

I tried resetting Custom Pilot 3 times, but it didn't work, my only remaining options were a return to MG service dept. or DIY factory reset which I did and it worked perfectly fine, it was my 3rd or 4th time and is easy, but as mentioned here previously all settings are lost, but all can be restored in Custom Pilot in minutes.

It was strange just 2 of the many causes of bonging and steering GRAB decided not to work and the fact both appeared at the same time is a mystery.

Just for clarification, did your reset involve resetting only the head unit itself, or did it require a master 12 volt reset, achieved by disconnecting the negative battery terminal ?.

Just the head unit through factory reset, I have needed to to do a 12v reset before which needed disconnecting the 12v battery for a short period, but not necessary this time.
But why this sudden hiccup in the electronics I wonder ??

Bugs in the system clearly at work .

Yeah, I guess it's a modern take on woodworm in old timber houses

Funny you should say this but I noticed some unexpected tugging on the wheel when I last drove. I'll watch this carefully next time I'm behind the wheel.

If the system was 100% fool proof and reliable, then they would not equip the unit with a reset button I guess.
Cars are computers on wheels these days, the rest button is the equivalent to the CNT - ALT - DELETE favourite used when things go wrong for no real reason.

I still occasionally use CNT-ALT-DEL. I guess many have either forgotten or never heard of it

Will be watching this one, no issues myself but just in case….

Easy DIY to it sort out.

I still use CNT a lot when my MG software glitches!

Did you purposely leave 'U' put?
