I've basically paid £80 to undo the terrible design decisions made by MG, and I'm happy about it. I think they may be evil geniuses hell bent on world domination...

After the comfort upgrade I'm now able to edit this function so that the lights come on but the horn doesn't sound :)

Well, I'm a miserable git by default but yes, I'm happy with the car now. Those annoying alerts totally kill the driving experience and will not be missed!

UPDATE: I've just had the comfort upgrade installed and I'm now CLANG-CLANG and BEEP-BEEP-BEEP free! Man, it feels good. Still miffed at having to fork out another £80 on the car but on the other hand it was either that or be declared clinically insane within a month.

I found a new source of CLANG-CLANG this morning! Although I de-iced the windscreen, I clearly missed a bit at the top, so the car proceeded to tell me every 5 minutes or so that the front camera was blocked :)

My job involves complex negotiating and managing stakeholders at multiple levels, so I can assure you I don't make aggressive demands or bang my fists on the table. I politely asked the dealer if they would consider installing the upgrade out of courtesy given how recently I bought the car from...

Yep - that's exactly what I'm doing. Booked it in for Thursday, so just 2 more days of CLANG-CLANG, BEEP-BEEP-BEEP, CLANG-CLANG...

And anyway you can't tell from a single test drive that certain alerts cannot be disabled. Dealer says comfort 2 is a chargeable upgrade, so days after spending over £20k on a very nearly new car I have to cough up another £80 to prevent myself from deliberately driving the thing into the...

Pre-registered with 900 miles on the clock. I test drove it and it was fine as I somehow managed to avoid setting off the lane assistant warning and didn't get the random speed warning either.

Sadly it is not quite new.

I had the same with the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (also pretty useless as a PHEV), so just assumed it would be the same with MG.

Dealer confirmed that comfort 2 upgrade is available... for £80!!! I've expressed my disappointment having spent over £20k with them just 2 days ago and suggested they might want to consider doing it for free. Awaiting response...

The only thing that can be turned off is the lane assistance, and the price you pay for that is a CLANG-CLANG every time you start the car, reminding you that your tuned it off! Sounds like the comfort 2 update will ease my pain.

Thanks, just emailed the dealer...
