Just bought a new (old) tablet off Amazon for £50 with Android at 7.1 (all my new phones are at 8), connected first time to the App (I use Phev1 as only a 10 digit SSID code). Only issue I have now is it likes the car wifi so much that my location services suffer to only being GPS and not wifi...
I just used USwitch and got EON fixed for a year cheaper than they could offer me direct, about 14.9 pence a unit but I use Solar to offset the charging during the day. My charging cost is between 17p a day (sunny) and £1.09 (grey and overcast) and it is adding about £15 a month to my usual bill.
As it is leased and you are concerned about the plug, get any friendly electrician to fit a plug for you and provide an invoice for a 'professional installation', you are then covered. I do doubt they would notice either way as some lease companies seem genuinely surprised the car can be charged...
With the MMCS there is a Can Bus connector for the EV and economy info does any one know whether the can bus connector on the car end would be available on a 3h+ so it could display this info if a gx4 head unit was installed? otherwise a straight android head unit for half the price is looking...
3h+ (2016) definitely has pre heating/cooling from the App so can't understand why the Juro doesn't as it is a higher spec, is there an SSID card in the user manual?
I had the X5 two cars before the PHEV (MY2016). Driving position is very similar although the PHEV is narrower so less room in the middle between the front seats although the smaller bolsters mean rear seat space is better in the PHEV. Driving wise, the raw acceleration of the 3 litre diesel and...
Had my towbar installed (MY2016) last weekend and the bonnet was not raised during the process all the connections were made in the boot area, with the majority of the plastics in there being removed, the towing loom was just plugged in to the car loom at that point (It definitely wasn't long...
The towbar and electrics are the same ones that the dealers fit for MY2016 car, the reversing sensors do not connect to the Can Bus but are fitted standalone, I know I can switch them off when towing but thought it strange that this was the spec of the car as supplied by Mitsubishi.
Just had a towbar fitted, towsure item with vehicle specific wiring to ensure the warranty was not affected by cutting and splicing. The man fitting it on the handover said all good but the car will not turn off the reversing sensors with a trailer as your sensors are after market and not...
The quickest way to eliminate beeps and bongs on start up is to make sure you have your seat belt on when you press the button, with it undone it sounds like a 1970's clock radio, with it done up I get one beep...unless I try to select drive too quickly then I get two beeps...and yesterday found...
On conventional 4WD there is an issue of drivetrain wind up when the rotation of the rear axle is different to the front axle, some of this can be compensated for using a differential between the axles. Differing tyre circumferences can exasperate the issue, my old Kia Sorento was sensitive to...
There is a photo of a PHEV doing the rounds on Facebook for the owners leaving the dogs in it (Wadebridge Area), there is no discussion on whether the vehicle may be able to keep its aircon on, just the usual comments about 'smashing the windows' and 'calling the police' so despite the ability...
Got the Vgate Icar V3 as it was recommended on the PHEV Watchdog site, works perfectly and puts itself to sleep if not being used (has a button on the front face to turn it back on). It is really slim and can only just be seen at the bottom of the dashboard as I bought an orange one as they were...
I've got a 2016 and wondering the same about the head unit (I have the 3h+ so have to use the app anyway), I was also wondering whether if I download the app to an android headunit I could connect this to the car wifi and have the app running inside the car, has anyone tried this?
