Excellent info. Many thanks. Looking forward to your updates, especially now the Comma 3 has had a price reduction!From looking at spare parts for the MG5 and the ZS EV, it’s a Bosch Camera which is used in quite a few different cars e.g. Alfa Romeo, Honda and VW for example (at least 14 different makes use this camera). The Honda one uses a different plug but the plug on the VW version looks the same.
Thus it looks like a VW harness would be the best bet. As far as I could tell most VW’s up to 2021 used this camera. Although the cameras appear to look very similar there is no guarantee that mg hasn't changed the wiring of the plug.
I'm trying to locate the appropriate VW connector pinouts and will post them here if I find them. I also need to confirm which harness would be the correct one if the assumption it is the same as the VW is correct.
I can’t confirm that the MG4 uses the same camera and someone willing to pull off the plastic cover will have to confirm it, but given MG was trying to keep the costs down they probably used the Bosch camera as they already had the software stack developed from the other models.
I found this video on a Chinese website which shows a Comma 2 working (see below), so I guess that confirms it should work. The VW comma profile was developed by the Comma community so hopefully there will be quite a bit of technical data which carries over.

Not yet. I’m hoping to go to the USA in April, so will order the C3 for delivery there and bring it home.
Good luck with Comma Three. Keeping my eye on your progress as thinking of buying one too, but not a technical person.
Let me know what the kit required is - which harness. Well done, congratulations. I think there are about 3 people in the United Kingdom trying to discover which harness is required. Please throw up a video on youtube when you get the thing installed. All the best
Hey mate did you get it going? I just got a ZST
