Re: Rear speakers retrofit, unlock for coding.

I have no idea if the Kufatec dongle is VIN locked once it's used. The read I took today for the screenshots was a day after having done the coding, so the unit must have restarted since then.

Re: Battery Degradation - 58kwh

I charged my car to 100% for the first time in quite a while yesterday and was disappointed to see the range as 192 miles when it should be 212 as far as I am concerned. Should be 212 miles based on what? The range displayed takes into account your recent driving, it will show more range if you've ...

Re: WhatsApp CarPlay not reading/announcing

How were you getting the messages announced? Using Siri? If I use Siri I ("Siri read me my messages") it will read them out, and give me the chance to reply by dictation. This works with or without being connected to CarPlay.

Re: Rear speakers retrofit, unlock for coding.

I finally got this all installed. It's a hell of a job. I used OBDEleven to do the unlocking of the audio module (8125) and then used the Kufatec dongle. I didn't check exhaustively, but it looks like the only thing that changed is that Channel 1 TT and Channel 4 TT were made active. The Signal_Flow...

Re: Charging speed? Why is it so slow?

If you’re on a super fast charger yes, but on a 50kW charger you usually get 50kW all the way to 80%, and then the last 20% take for ever.

Re: Anyone able to help with vin?

Won’t the dealer give you the VIN? If not it sounds suspect to me.

Battery recalibration?

Yesterday I drove from Lisbon to the Algarve, about 260km, starting at 100% and ending at 7%. I dropped my family off at a restaurant and went to the local Lidl to charge (in Portugal most Lidl supermarkets have a CCS2 50kW charger). I charged to 25% just to not be on the limit and returned to the r...

Re: Parking sensor issues after speaker install

When I was installing rear speakers (using the kit from Kufatec) I also lost parking sensors whilst I was in the middle of the install. I had the wiring loom of one of the rear doors disconnected. I was doing the work outside and was just driving the car into the garage when I had this issue. Howeve...

Re: Who’s happy with their Born ?

One thing I would add to my comments above is that even though I think the infotainment is actually not that bad, the navigation software, both map quality and route planning, is pretty poor. If you compare it to Apple Maps or Google Maps it's no contest. I only navigate using CarPlay apps (mostly A...
