6) The mirror tilts down when I reverse, but it doesn’t just tilt down, it also angles away from the car meaning I can’t even view the rear tyre - which I thought was the whole point of this. Can this be changed?
Cupra born manual, page 123 or thereabouts tells you how to set up the mirror.

Re: Location Settings & Latest Firmware?

OK, the charge was finally successful last night. It charged at the planned times and to the 80% set in Octopus. I took the car out this morning and plugged it in on my return.

Next, I go...
