Just had first service on 2020 4H. I know there has been a lot of discussion regarding the BMU on here. Was informed they had performed an update on the BMU during the service. Could not grab a word with any of the mechanics so see what this would have “improved”. I arrived at the dealer with...

Been away - dont like access via a phone, prefer a proper computer!! Have you managed? I had no issues at all when using the branded connection kit (used an unbranded one first which quickly failed :( ) Glenn

Probably not the response you are expecting - but, if you buy the Nextbase hardwire kit (approx £15-20 from Amazon) it is no more than a 30 min job! Piggyback fuse holders provided. You remove an existing fuse, plug the piggyback holder in, replace the removed fuse into the "other" holder in...

It is a common problem! I have repaired mine, replacing the "mains" side of the cable.

You are correct - they are Thule bars :) I have removed the plugs from the roof rails when using the roof bars - from memory, the "centre" part of the plug pulls out and then the whole plug can be removed. I will have a look to see if I can find the instructions, although, like you, I bought...

Been a member for a while but had decided upon replacing my 2014 4h with a Kia Optima Sportswagon PHEV. However, after waiting nearly 6 months, I have just been told by lease company that this will not be available until Jan 2019 at earliest! I am now reviewing my options - may even cancel the...

I have decided to jump ship - mainly due to the price :cry: :cry: :cry: Lease cost for me increased by £100/month, mainly due to upping my contracted milage. I have opted for a Kia Optima Sportswagon PHEV, with the increased milage, for about the same as I am currently paying :D :D Not...

I have just taken my car in today due to a "loose" handbrake, I was told it is a common problem! First problem I have experienced with car (apart from the two recalls) - nearly 3 years old and 45k miles. Car needs to go back next week when they have part - there were no grumbles al all about...

I am assuming this is a new 2018 model - as I understand it, they have dispensed with the (?awful) MMCS to use Android/Apple play. Glenn

I would be intersted too :) :) From googling, TomTom are keeping very quiet about any plans to enable carplay with TomTom Go (their current satnav). Glenn

I don't suppose that version of the app is any better than Remote Control 2? Way past time they were updated. No - no different to the original :? :?

Has anyone got any experience of Apple / Andriod with this? My favoured satnav app at moment is TomTom Go - taffic alerts are very accurate in my experience. Do all satnavs apps work - or only selected ones? My lease is up in 4 months and seriously considering another 4h.

Just had mine done today along with the safety recall and service. Once done, you need the PHEV I app, dealer will give you a new ?14 digit security code. Glenn

Will have to look at the wekend, I thought I used fuse 7. Car registered March 2015. Glenn

I bought one of these; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291517377396?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT This has a mini-USB connector. No connection with the seller, but am impressed with the kit! The only "problem" that I had was finding an earth point, I removed the trim...
