MG ZR ZS ZT Technical - Key Fob

whilst I pride myself on having a full set of buttons on the dashboard for Aircon, fogs etc, I can't boast that same fact about my new styled key fob. The new ones now have 3 buttons with a weeny MG badge in the centre. Only two work on mine being Open and Shut, as my car does not have the acquired status of Remote Bonnet Release. And even then I wish it worked from more angles around the car from the same distance. Brilliant from the side through my conservatory window, but totally useless from behind, and then it's usually with my arms loaded up in the blustery rain with stuff for the day ahead.

The number of times I press a button and nothing happens. If I average 1 in 3 as successful, then it follows my battery could last up to 3 times longer.

I don't like this key fob. The MG logo is an apology being squashed in such a tiny place. The buttons are too small.

Stick the octagon on the back and make it much bigger along with 3 bigger buttons on the front. The MG badge should embellish pride at all times. The buttons should be touchy feely ones that have Press Me! written on them and giggle with joy and laughter when you've done it.

'Remote Bonnet Release' should be 'Remote Tailgate/Boot Release'
