  1. Commencing with the 2024 model, some trim levels have transitioned from standard USB ports to USB-C ports. It may be necessary to get a new cable or an adapter.
  2. Why choose the 3er or 5er when there is a set available for our 6er. I purchased BMW all-weather mats for my 6 Series Gran Coupe.
  3. Yes, the engine is hot, therefore wait 15 minutes after driving to let it to cool down, as recommended in most handbooks.
  4. Indeed. I have consistently used a pressure washer on my 2 R8's and 3 Huracans. Minimal water enters the engine compartment, with most of it coming from the hatch opening and dripping off. Begin at the highest point and consistently spray downwards.
  5. I am frustrated that my Turbo S level does not have auto-tilt mirrors as advertised in the official Mazda literature. I test drove the vehicle and didn't verify that specific feature, assuming it was included based on my study on the trim level. Still enamoured with the automobile, but feeling irritated. Twice, I have had a strange occurrence where the passenger mirror in my vehicle automatically moves all the way down and hits the stops, unable to travel any farther down. Unusual little insect. Does the Turbo S level have automatic tilt mirrors while in reverse? According to Mazda's literature, yes, although its reliability is questionable.

  6. Thank you. Yes, that's my understanding. This is my first experience with CarPlay, therefore I am currently familiarising myself with its idiosyncrasies.
  7. I have discovered the solution to this. This is my first experience using CarPlay, so I am a novice. Being a dedicated Apple user, I was frustrated that my 2017 Dodge Durango did not have CarPlay, which was introduced in the 2018 model. Here is the reason for the WiFi: Wireless carplay uses Wi-Fi for transmitting data such as Maps and Music. Bluetooth establishes the connection, but the data transfer occurs via Wi-Fi. Bluetooth lacks sufficient bandwidth and requires Wi-Fi for data transmission.
  8. On another forum, it was mentioned that the CX-90 used a WiFi connection for CarPlay. Does anybody know the reason? Is there a specific rationale for choosing WiFi over Bluetooth? Bluetooth can simultaneously connect several devices, but WiFi can only connect one device at a time. This is likely to result in more problems.
  9. Agreed. Connecting to CarPlay manually is not successful. Next time, I will attempt to connect the plug to see if it resolves the issue. However, my regular approach is to just turn off the vehicle and then restart it.
  10. Next time it occurs, I will attempt using the connected connection. Thank you
  11. CarPlay connects successfully around 75% of the time. I need to restart the vehicle in 25% of cases to establish a connection. Is anybody else encountering this?
  12. Apple's modification of the charging specifications for iPods has led manufacturers and OEM suppliers to make adjustments within their usual extended lead times. A comparable conversation has taken place on DISCO3 lately.
  13. I have considered the possibility; but, however, it is not feasible in the geographical location where I now reside. Is it necessary to remove the front driver wheel? I have perused many online discussions wherever individuals have engaged in this practise. I am now endeavouring to engage in proactive planning due to a limited availability of tools, as compared to my previous circumstances. I am considering the utilisation of 2x12 ordinary timber, which will be doubled and stacked to achieve a height of 3 inches on all four corners. According to prevailing norms, I possess a slender physique.
  14. Is it possible to do a front differential oil change without the need of lifting the SUV using a jack?
  15. My vehicle is a 2009 E70 3.0 X drive. I purchased the BMW 75W90 Differential Service Kit - Liqui Moly from FCP Euro for the rear. I have encountered information on the modification of the fill up level required, which has resulted in a considerable amount of misunderstanding. I am using a pragmatic method, sometimes referred to as the "common sense approach," which involves filling the container to its maximum capacity until it reaches the point of overflow.
  16. Do you know whether the front and back use the same oil? A few weeks ago, I swapped out the back end. Is it possible to swap out the front without having to hoist the SUV? What's more, I think I read that I need a flat hex? Thanks
  17. The current dimensions of the aforementioned vehicle seem to surpass those of the RAV4 and CR-V models. It is important to note that the trunk capacity of the CX-9 surpasses that of any small SUV in terms of length.
  18. I have successfully resolved the enigma of the flat chairs. I became intrigued and subsequently began a series of experiments. I have a recollection of acquiring huge rectangular containers from the IKEA store, which included disassembled couch components. During that period, the seats of my 2022 CX-9 GT were folded in a manner that approximated a flat configuration. There are no problems encountered while loading them in. The folding mechanism of the object allows it to achieve a nearly flat configuration, with both sides folding inward at an approximate angle of 5 degrees. Nevertheless, there are two distinct levers available for operation. The higher lever facilitates the forward tilting of the seat, so enabling access to the third row. Conversely, the lower lever is designed to fold the seat into a flat position. The functionality of the bench is limited to the smaller section, constituting about 40% of its total surface area. However, when the bench is folded into a flat position, it remains possible to use the top lever to further lower the seat. Consequently, a little decline is achieved, resulting in an enhanced level of flatness. Due to unspecified constraints, it is not feasible to perform the aforementioned action on the larger segment, which constitutes 60% of the bench. The bottom lever enables the folding of the object to a flat position, while the top level remains non-functional, resulting in the seat remaining in its standard flat configuration. The visual representation closely resembles the images provided by the original poster. The spacing between the second and third rows is contingent upon the original placement of the bench, since it has the ability to be adjusted forwards or backwards. I concur that there is a discernible gap, even in the distant past. From my own perspective, this gap presents a favourable circumstance as it allows me to strategically position or conceal certain goods inside it. When embarking on camping excursions, it is customary to include camping chairs or umbrellas in one's inventory. These items are chosen for their slim dimensions, ensuring compatibility with the available space.
  19. I like the distinction made between the concepts of 'masking' and 'eradicating', which may be likened to addressing symptoms rather than addressing the root cause. However, while purchasing a pre-owned Mk1 MX-5, it was evident that the vehicle emitted a strong odour of cigar smoke. This was likely due to the previous owner, who had first purchased the car new and then used it for commuting purposes to Greece, consistently smoking a large cigar with the vehicle's hood up during the whole journey. Consequently, all of the fabric elements, including the roof, had absorbed the smoke. During a period of limited access to professional or educated amateur guidance for an extended duration, I made the decision to position two incense burners on a steel tray located in the footwells of both the passenger and driver sides of the vehicle. The aforementioned behaviour may be characterised as both foolish and dangerous. However, it is worth noting that the scent of cigars dissipated permanently, and the lingering aroma of incense inside the vehicle ceased to exist as well. Did the burners eliminate or conceal?
  20. Apologies for the misunderstanding, but I misinterpreted the title of this discussion topic. As my Prius lacks a plug-in feature, it is inherently incapable of providing any kind of input. It is likely that my age is a contributing factor.
  21. I am now in a state of retirement and have reached the age of 52. There is no inherent value in possessing the most wealth among deceased individuals. I have just acquired a Kawasaki Z900 RS Cafe motorcycle to enhance my enjoyment under favourable weather conditions.
  22. I consistently use my X3 M40d vehicle in sport mode. I refrained from engaging in idle conversation and instead focused on monitoring the vehicle's fuel efficiency.
  23. The battery responsible for powering the radio and other components is the 12-volt battery, distinct from the traction battery.
