Re: Finalising my spec - opinions appreciated!

Also worth adding that the arm rest is something I'd also recommend - easy enough to do yourself but think it really finishes off the cabin and worth the £270 cost for the parts at the least. Might be worth doing once received to avoid the added cost from a dealer. I found some rubber mats from an a...

Re: Caught by the dead infrastructure

@londiniumperson You can do everything right and still get caught out sadly. I just wish that the designers for these platforms had bothered to consider actual use cases for this though as it seems common sense that you could be at a charger without network access or had a way to mitigate issues - s...

Re: Caught by the dead infrastructure

What does it say on ZapMap and PlugShare for this charger? Until the charging networks mature further as more people adopt EVs these feel like a must use right now. I'm always using these when charging away from home so worth setting up if not already as can help predict issues and give you chance t...

Re: Bluetooth & Android Auto

Have a search of the forums for "AndroidAuto" as there is a method for getting into the maintenance menu and activating additional features to use this over wireless that aren't enabled by default.

Re: USB Playlist

You can't have added a valid m3u. Make sure the file extension is definitely m3u and not just added to the name. In Windows you need to go to th folder options and enable showing common file extensions. Check the file contents in a text editor and ensure only fully qualified file paths are added and...

Re: USB Playlist

Despite the manual the car does recognise the .m3u format for playlists; it's just a case of adding these to the device (location doesn't seem to matter but I just put my files in the root and that worked) and then selecting them from the Browse menu. The .m3u can be created either from an app (such...

Re: Rare as Hens teeth

Think the problem is Range vs Price for any EV but especially the E. Range is 'the' benchmark when it comes to EVs despite it being a flawed metric but when you're trying to push a pricey £30k EV with this little range there will be few wanting to fork out such a premium. Not when the E has competit...

Re: Sat Nav

My mistake - no camera alerts and I went out and checked too. I was certain I saw some on that long route home but maybe the excitement of the drive got to me with the road sign recognition etc muddled in.

Bit rubbish but at least it has AndroidAuto...

Re: Sat Nav

I used the Garmin SatNav when returning from the dealer (160+ mile trip) and found it was fine but bar having it on screen haven't used it much since as given this is a city car most of the short trips it takes don't need any nav assistance. I didn't have the voice volume up though but assume it's g...
