Has anyone found a way to configure the stereo on a GX3h to pick up MP3s from where they were when the system powered down? At the moment, it defaults back to track #1. My music files are on a USB and it is becoming a little irritating to have to scroll back through the files every time I switch on!

Ah now, I might be showing both my age and a regrettable amount of personal bias. Back when I were a lad t'were drummed into my thick little head that just because I could it did not mean that I should. God knows, I have communed with many deities about many things over the years, often about...

Gentlemen, at the risk of hijacking this thread and taking it kicking and screaming to a darker place, I believe that you are putting the cart before the horse. There are indeed many recommendations and suggestions about acceptable charging behaviour. Many of these make a great deal of sense...

Sorry for the headline. Straight out of the Daily Mail, for which I apologise. Also, and potentially in common with the aforementioned rag, some editorial licence may have been used. Clothing was involved, for one thing. Anyway, having been caught on Cairn o' Mount yesterday in moderately...

In the last few days ambient temperature where I am has risen from daytime 3C to 11C. This morning, I managed a 30 mile trip solely on EV. Apart from the fact that this is a new personal record the interesting point is that the ICE didn't even kick in for heating. At the end of last week...

I'm hoping that any charging done at a public point will be caught by whatever billing system is applied by the access card provider. Mind you, as I haven't used a public charging point yet I may once again be guilty of unmanaged, or even unmanageable, optimism.

The in-line meter sounds perfect. Unfortunately, I don't have one. Not fitted when British Gas installed the Polar point. Does anyone know which regs apply and where exactly it states that a meter must be fitted? In theory, it should be possible to get BG to retrofit the meter to ensure...

Kev, thanks for the information. I don't expect to use public charging much but as and when I do not having the right access card(s) would be a bit galling. On a related topic, is it just me or is the whole charging infrastructure starting to lag behind (perceived) uptake of EVs and PHEVs? I...

Page 6-14. Not that it helps much. "ECO score indicates the points you have scored on fuel-efficient driving by the number of leaves.." There is some generic yagga-yagga under "Economical Driving" but nothing substantive.

So, and without trawling through the posts, it seems fair to assume that Chargevision reporting is not entirely robust. Apart from envying everyone with a GX4, the expedient solution therefore seems to be as follows: (a) Never switch off the Chargemaster unit using the key. Doing so appears to...

Got back late last night so decided to leave the car on charge overnight for the first time, rather than unplug when putting the dogs out last thing. So far, so what, but when I unplugged this morning and checked Chargevision the recorded usage was 38.02kW. Prior to this the largest charge was...

New to the forum, so bear with me if I'm being daft. Can anyone let me know which charging cards I need for the Grampian area? I've sent off for the CYC card, which seems to be the most common one up here, but are there any other cards that are worth having? Realistically, public charging will...

Mine's a GX3h so heating is from the ICE anyway. Given that it gets a wee bit chilly up here from time to time, I think I'll pass on the no heat option. Range optimisation is one thing, being cold and miserable is quite another.

OK, it seems reasonable to assume that the main economy driver isn't so much the vehicle as the usage pattern. Assuming a full charge at the start of the day, anything under 30 miles is EV all the way, subject to outside temperature, weather and the usual disclaimers. A round trip of 50 miles or...

I seem to have been pessimistic when calculating my fuel consumption. According to Fuelly the correct value is 56.6 mpg. Best so far is 64.7 so there is clearly work to be done to get close to the best reported stats.

Been keeping an eye on the forum while waiting for my GX3h. Many thanks for the advice and guidance thus far. I've had it for a fortnight/1000+ miles and am very happy, albeit finding the initial attitude adjustment a little challenging. The first key point seems to be that the PHEV is very...
