MG5ev trophy facelift long range.
Anyone had problems with car recognising 20mph speed signs. Mine either ignores or displays 60 mph on dash.
Sees all other signs fine. Never once displayed a 20 mph.

Could it be that the programming is essentially based on the metric system and therefore “20” is to be considered too low to be valid speed limit?
 
A quick search may be worth while as there are many threads on this, but in a nutshell, it doesn't recognise 20mph as you have noted.
 
Thanks for all responses. Did do a search but couldn’t find much. Looks like a software issue and was reaching out to see if it was a common fault and not just my car. Dealer says software in car is up to date.

Ours has never recognised 20 mph limit.
Also shows the national speed limit (UK) sign on dual carriageways but either has a fissyfit showing the minor road speed limit on motorways or flashes 70 instead. Whilst its technically correct, national speed limit sign is correct for dual carriageways and motorways even though the max speed limit is different
 
Apparently there's an update to the Infotainment system that they say will cure the speed issue and also the fact that external temp is not shown on App. Booked in for Feb 8th so will see if it works.
 
Any idea when that update was issued and what the number of it is? Mt FL is going in in a couple of weeks as they omitted the Tesla update and I could request that at the same time, if I need it (my app doesn't show outside temp, so presuming it does).

I'm surprised they don't do these updates on new cars as a matter of course as part of the PDI
 
Sorry don’t know number or when it was issued, excuse was their mg expert just recalled there was an update. I was told that all software was updated during psi but obviously not. Mines going in on 8th Feb so will post if any improvement.
