Since it’s a rebadged StarCharge Aurora, (which is a discontinued model now and specs still list OCPP 1.6J) then I guess it depends on who will maintain the software - the manufacturer or the distributor? e.g. Apparently Shell also rebadge the Aurora internationally so I imagine they would have...

That’s an achievement in itself: successfully getting in touch with anyone at MG!

Well for giggles I did end up installing the latest version… after my charger died (red light of death!) and got replaced with a new one with an old firmware. So is this happening when it suspends due to low solar etc, and then won’t start up again? I should be able to replicate that with mine...

Ah of course. I spent forever searching things like “MG4 rear/tailgate/spoiler/fin/trim” etc… but never thought to add the word “camera”! ?‍♂️ Thanks ??

Does anyone have any pointers or a link to the disassembly of the rear spoiler? I want to replace a cracked lip too, and I can see how it’s attached from the inside… but having run a trim tool around the edge of the interior trim (inside the tailgate) I can’t seem to locate any obvious clips to...

If it’s an Excite, then yes R05 (unfortunately) is the latest infotainment version in AU/NZ. If it’s an Essence, the latest is R11. But the two subsequent software updates that fix phantom braking and give you OPD aren’t shown on that screen. Look in the “Driving” screen for one-pedal driving...

Hmm, I don’t have those other issues so I think I might just leave it for now then in case it introduces unwanted behavior! Been stung before with that (Looking at you, Apple ? ) Yeah when looking inside the package and the assets folder, I noticed the MG logo was back, although not the...

Anyone been brave enough to install the new firmware 2.1.0.8 for the MG Chargehub that appeared this month on the website? I'm sort of in the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mindset as mine's working perfectly with scheduling and solar integration via ChargeHQ, but just curious to see what...

Mine definitely is more likely to forget it after a charge to 100%, but every now and then also just randomly loses the setting I suspect after a top-up charge. A relatively minor issue, but actually drives me crazy as in wet/slippery road conditions I often set the drive mode to 'Snow' ... so...

I got the ACC/AEB and Undertray fix too, so at least no dramas with that…. But yeah the star buttons and CarPlay occasionally switching to LHD mode (which is read from the head unit and not controlled by CarPlay) surely would be easier fixes, which is what makes it so frustrating putting up with...

Oops, sorry had a brainfart there with my reply - I meant although I have the ACC update, I don’t have the Star Button fixes.

Yes, and annoyingly they have released that same update months ago in Australia… but only for the Essence (I think that’s the ‘Trophy’ in Europe/UK?) and not for the Excite (SE SR) ?

Question for AU/NZ Excite 51 owners... has anyone received an update later than R05? Or alternatively any other update that fixes the issue where the left star button on the steering wheel forgets its setting (and the one on the right always open CarPlay in addition to whatever it's set to open)?

Yes,“Start Stop Card” is the best of both worlds. The ChargeHQ instructions did originally say “Billing Card”, but that would leave you unable to charge if for some reason the charger can’t reach the OCPP server to get the charge amps setting or schedule setting (e.g. if there’s a WiFi /...

Ah, I guess yeah if you’re scheduling charging using the iSMART app then you’ll probably want the new firmware. I do only use ChargeHQ for scheduling though and it works great… once I realised I had to set DST correctly in the charger (oops. Stupid daylight savings ? Example attached for anyone...
