That's just your interpretation though ... there's no proof that the sensor is at fault here. ?
The balance of evidence is it is.

Have you compared the iSMART app readings from your vehicle with a digital or analogue temperature gauge inside the vehicle?The balance of evidence is it is.
So it's basically a software fix?In my experience, the internal temperature sensor works perfectly well. If you read the sensor data using the MG iSMART app, and compare the reading to another digital thermometer. The two match.
It’s the digital temperature gauge that is incorrectly set.
I read temperature as cold - comfortable - hot
And forget what those numbers actually are.
25-26 (middle of gauge) qualifies as comfortable in my books these days.
And it is almost certainly the wrong interpretation as sensors are pretty reliable these days - much much more likely to be calibration or s/w problem.That's just your interpretation though ... there's no proof that the sensor is at fault here. ?

We bought a budget car with budget fittings. The temperature issue is not that much of a problem, just use higher number than normal. I can live with this forever. The other more important issues, that's another story.
SE owners don't get many updates, that's for sure, but then they seem to have fewer bugs. Not sure who is better off.I agree in part. But this is such a silly little thing one wonders why they can't just recalibrate.
I'd rather have a USB music player that works, a radio that stays off when you turn it off, the ability to disable the automatic locking, and keep the external temperature reading.
I'm slightly more hopeful they'll fix the internal temperature gauge and the over-enthusiastic lights, as the Trophy has these problems too. I have a feeling they don't care about SE owners at all.
I expect it isn't about how hard it is.I certainly think the SE software is more stable. I haven't been seeing the intermittent issues Trophy owners complain about. But how hard is it to make a USB player work? These four things I mentioned are right on the Trophy (and indeed one of them was originally right on the SE too), it wouldn't seem that hard a job just to fix the code in the SE version.
What evidence? You're the only one deducing that the "wrong temperature setting" is a faulty sensor - the vast majority of owners simply think the "dial" is calibrated wrong.The balance of evidence is it is.

The heat clearly functions. All they have to do is to set 20C to be 20C, and not 25C. Easy adjustment.
On 26 I think it's blowing cold air. Have to do some more testing.I haver my MG4 set to 26C since day one. Perfect temp for me. I don't care if I have to set it higher as long as it works.
One or two people have had cars with duff heaters - yours presumably has a heat pump? They can take longer to warm up than PTC heaters, the UK cars don't have heat pumps so you are mostly hearing from people with a different setup.On 26 I think it's blowing cold air. Have to do some more testing.

I expect it isn't about how hard it is.
I expect it is about how small the coding team are at MG, how they are managed, the conditions they work under, their constraints and how bad a mess the code is in.
I used to manage IT projects and there were so often things that users thought were simple and obvious that we could have sorted but our hands were tied by the decision makers.
I agree except that obviously SE owners are a lower form of life, who should bow to those holding their Trophies ? ?It would be nice to feel there was some willingness to do something about it all - especially the external temperature display, which was fine until they fouled it up. Rather than giving the impression that SE owners are less than the dog poo on their shoes.
