Outside temp

[Burrom]

If my ZS EV can tell me to be careful as there might be icy roads why can't it display the outside temperature?

It is displayed next to the time on the infotainment centre.

If it's not there you need the Comfort 2 Update.

You would expect them to know this type of stuff ?.
Then again .......... No.
Educate them by showing them this :-

Comfort 2 update - info from MG website​

( NB - if you purchased your car after mid June 2020, the car should have had the Comfort 2 update installed and therefore bongs etc dealt with. If you are being asked to pay for this update in 2021 as a new purchaser, you should definitely query this.)

During the lifespan of a vehicle model, various changes can be made to interior trim, exterior cosmetics or system functions to ensure that it features cutting edge technology and remains attractive to potential buyers. MG ZS EV models manufactured after mid-June 2020, will have a newly developed 2nd generation of Comfort System Operation installed on the car. This is now available for customers who wish to benefit from these later updates on earlier build models.
Whilst all the below features involve software changes to key components on your vehicle, the updated software is not available to cars with 1st Generation software as a ‘warranty upgrade’. MG’s warranty is there to cover the cost of repair or replacement of a failed part due to a manufacturing defect, and not for updates/upgrades, and will therefore be chargeable. Please speak to your MG dealer to find out associated charges for this update.
This new 2nd generation of Comfort System Operation includes changes to:

• Faster system self-check when powering ‘ON’
• Infotainment volume maintains and restarts at previous volume setting after powering ON/OFF
• Auto High Beam system disable option available in menu settings
• General warning chime quality improvements and reduced volume
• Warning chimes reduced for MG Pilot and Key Reminder
• Vehicle temperature and temperature alarm featured in the instrument display
• Vehicle range always on display in instrument pack
• Vehicle can be unlocked during A/C charging, when re-locked charging automatically resumes

Thanks very much

That’s of course if the relevant boxes are ticked during install.... And don’t forget those annoying horn toots!

The “Tripple Pap” of the horn was one of my absolute pet hates !.
How the hell MG thought that was in anyway acceptable is totally above me.
Having that going of late at night is totally unacceptable.
Glad to see the back of THAT feature !.

 

[Cocijo]

Yes - some snazzy triple-pap programming went into that one! Some still have it on their cars

For me also it's NOT showing temperature but it showing range in instrument pack ..
I am confused whether I have got this update installed or not !

It is not installed properly, this is from the MG website:

Which includes vehicle temperature in the display. Return to your dealer and have them do the updates properly.

I’VE HEARD THAT THERE IS A NEW 2ND GENERATION OF SOFTWARE AVAILABLE ON MY ZS EV?

Dr Dave is correct, if you don't have ALL of the items on the list in his post, then the "Comfort 2" update is incomplete and needs reapplying.

Hi, you need the software update, it also shows on the dash milage left and a few other bits, quicker startup with less bing bongs. Most got the update free but speak to the dealer about the v2 software.
