I wonder if that's the individual dealer line on things, or MG UK, as it sounds completely unacceptable. Especially as European buyers seem to be getting it for free without threat of no warranty cover if it screws up their cars!
In fact I've never heard anything quite like it, so they charge you to update the software written by the manufacturer for their product and if, due to either incompetent installation or ropy coding it doesn't work right, expect the owner to pay for putting it right? And they can't even give a price upfront? Unbelievable.
I'm livid, I really want outside temperature and it's just crazy running another thermistor and gauge when it's already there just waiting to be turned on.
Let's hope some more progressive dealers give better feedback in the coming weeks...
