Does anyone believe this? (Internal/external temperature readings)

[Rolfe]

Several people have reported this problem, but I've not seen it at all. I've been really impressed by how responsive the heating is, 5-degree discrepancy notwithstanding.

When it reads 87C I presume it is inside my kettle

mine’s a coffee please

Just read this thread with interest. Looked at my MG. Internal temp 87°c, external 10°c.
Refreshed; 16°c / 10°c
Refreshed a few more times and gradually got to 10°c / 10°c. (I think it went 14, 12, 11, 11, 11, 11, 10 so certainly feels like some sort of decaying average.)
It's parked next to my other car under a cart shed...

All that refreshment must have cooled it down

There‘s a frost this morning. Checking the car’s temperature via Ismart brings up 1° outside and 10° inside (oh yeah?) Refreshing the app repeatedly shows the outside temperature at a constant 1° but the internal drops to 8 then 6, 5,4 and finally 3°
It looks like the internal thermometer is switched off on power down and remembers the last known temperature. Whereas the external thermometer appears to be switched on at all times and gives real-time temperatures.

Am curious but not perplexed.

Mine doesn’t behave that way. SE SR on 1100R13
What’s your infotainment version? Any updates received recently? Or rather not received recently to any of the other components?

My SE SR is on 1100R21 and I refuse to believe the cabin temperature is still at 19°C after an overnight frost so I do think it's keeping the last temperature observed when the car was switched on. Each time I refresh it is dropping by about 2°C.

I merged this in with another recent thread on the issue, as I think a lot of the discussion is relevant.

I casually checked my car today via the app. It said the interior temperature was 87 bloody Celsius . I involuntarily buttered my rear cheeks with something akin to Nutella and ran back to my car imagining it was on fire. Nothing was wrong, no need to panic… wtf

It's a hack by the anti-EV brigade to make you think your battery is on fire

I was trying to think of a similar comment - but its been a long week

Wait until you think its been nicked, and parked in the middle of Paris

Must be global warming, couldn't possibly be a bug in MG's software - that never happens!

I just merged this in with an earlier thread about the same thing so people don't have to make the same jokes twice.

Glad it's not just me seeing that

 

[littleflower]

Yes, i think there may occasionally be issues... my car the other day (in December!) I was worried it was on fire! I think it was a °Fahrenheit not °Centigrade/Celsius

 

[Steve Orton]

This morning. Checked car to make sure he was awake and ready to accept a pre-heat command later.

Internal temperature 9°C
External temperature -7°C

Last driven on Friday afternoon (that's the day before yesterday), and even then not far enough to warm the cabin. Given the frost on my windows I'll take the -7°C part. 9°C inside? Somebody is having a laugh.

My MG5 recently reported it to be 36⁰c outside when all the windows were frosted. Then just to prove it's point it refused to allow the heater to work.

 

[Alb]

Could it be indicating °F?

When checking interior temp I refresh the app until it stops changing the interior temp, it seems resonable correct when it finaly stop changing.
