Software updates

I really do not understand why MG is so reluctant to go ahead with OTAs.
I mean if BYD, a company with far less presence and history in the UK up till last year happily rolls them out (wife's car already had 2 significant updates the last year) then why MG is holding back?

They are one of the few that don't, part of me thinks it's a way to make money by dealers trying to charge for them

Hi Nik, I think ( hopefully) OTA will happen, my biggest bugbear is the lack of information ( indeed conflicting info) that we are getting. I don’t really mind if the roll out is 6 months away - I just want them to release some time of timeline

I took delivery last July. There were three Scenes; Rainy Night, Nap, and Pet Ventilation. Sometime in August I noticed the Pet Scene was no longer there. OTA?
Then a couple of months ago, the door touch unlock/lock started working a LOT better. OTA?
&%$#@* technology

I'm not happy re the Pet mode being removed! You now cannot leave pets or anyone in the car without the alarm going off, MG have said it's apparently due to UK regulations...... Funny as many other cars have it or similar.

Mmmm, maybe because it disables the alarm/immobiliser and many insurance companies require “an alarm and immobiliser that conform to the Thatcham cat 1 standard"

So how are all other manufacturers doing it then...... Clearly it's a choice for people to use it or not.

I am annoyed about the removal of pet mode, especially as you can't disable the interior alarm sensors. My old Tesla has it and it is a great feature. If i had known they would remove it I wouldn't have bought the car. Now i am stuck with it.

I posted this on another thread, but it's germain to. this thread also. Last July when I took delivery, the scene menu had; Rainy Night, Nap Time, and Pet Ventilation. Sometime in August, the Pet scene disappeared. OTA??
Then a few weeks ago, my door handle touch functionality improved significantly, and remains very good. OTA??
It's feasible that the OTA procedures are quite different for Asia and Europe.
