Look at the video and you'll hear how an american pronounces Koenigsegg as well as getting the grips on how the KDD works. https://www.carthrottle.com/post/engineering-explained-how-the-koenigsegg-regera-hypercar-drives-without-a-gearbox/

I don't think we should ever use the CVT name again. Ever :) http://www.myoutlanderphev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3353

I found this excellent site explaining how the transsmission in our PHEV's work. It is actually a lot more alike Koenigseggs KDD than any CVT. I think we should not use the CVT name anymore. Ever :) https://www.gkn.com/en/our-technology/2016/multimode/

Hi I've tried to send PM's to a couple of members (one admin) but as soon as I hit "Submit" after composing a PM it ends up in my PM outbox and there it stops. A couple of these mebers I have sent PM's to in the past. Can someone help me? I tried to send a PM to myslef and that worked. //Jocke

Am in the process of installing the App and have also applied for membership in the FB-group :) Will try one of my OBD dongels asap.

couple of days late but here is the result. The MOT station "Opus" had a small booklet that said to set the "2wd/4wd" switch between the seats to "2wd". Also the traction control needed to be turned off. -do you have a switch like that? He asked -no, just a "forced 4wd" switch, I said. But...

I'm about to take my car to it's first MOT. Emissions should be no problem since they can read fault codes via OBD. Correct? I don't want them to try to start the engine and getting it warm at the station... Brakes. Can anything get damaged if they do the normal brake tests?

Where is "here" ? You got a patch, not a new ECU ? Really sounds like I'd better call the local dealer and see what they think...

Looks like it. Thanks. I would really like to know more though. Maybe a call to the local dealer would shed some light.......

Got a recall from the swedish dealer stating I must get the car to a garage to get the ECU and plugs swapped. Anyone heard what the cause is? What will change?

Didn't even know there was a light there :(

Hejs Nybliven ägare här. Än så länge mycket nöjd men tycker att "El-DTE" borde visa lite mer än 30km när man tar bilen ur laddaren på morgonen. Något jag bör kolla upp lite mer? Tog en stund att få upp WiFi-kopplingen. Tillvägagångssättet som beskrevs i appen vs Mitsus manual var inte direkt...

Aha! So your car, in this respect, is quite unique... Thanks for that. Any more observations after using the box for some time? :)

Just as mine then. So age is no trustworthy indicator if it is glued or not. Could there have been something special about ankos car perhaps? Just read this on the vtech website about the box: "Alternative setup: NORMAL mode is EV mode, also switching to gasoline mode (factory car) can be...

Just got my very own PHEV last weekend :) I'm super happy about it this far. A long time before I got it I registered here and started reading. The first thing I was thinking about doing was buying and installing the Vtech-box. Are there any news? Haven't read anything from Vtech himself or...

That was my initial idea. To let the car know it is not allowed to even try to start the car. If it can be done by the VTech box it could just as easily let the ICE start when hitting the "kick down button". No switches or pots, just a nice clean CAN message that says we have fuel or not...

Good point about the potential lack of power. That rules out just pulling the fuse. It would need a switch in the cabin. One way is to mount the switch really convenient, perhaps on the steering wheel even, so that you can easily allow the ICE to start. The other, much more appealing, is the CAN...

That way sounds a bit crude. I was thinking about a "softer" way :) But if it will give a really good result and no bad side effects I would be willing to try it. What does "low-fuel emergency mode" mean? A switch that cuts the power to the pump mounted in the cabin could do the trick.

I'm not talking about an error code. Just modifying the level of petrol in the tank to read zero. "Empty" must be just an acceptable value as "full", don't you think? I see two ways of doing this. One is to hack into the electrical signal, like phevnor does to the temp sensor, and the other is...

Hi all. First post on here as a short time lurker with a PHEV, hopefully, in the driveway in a couple of months. I'll be buying my brothers company car when his lease runs out in May (if the price turns out to be right). I think Steepndeep's idea might be a good approach to this problem...
