  1. I saw that emulators for other models are priced around £10, however the 212 version is about £40 or £50.
  2. Neither, indeed. There are no warning lights, just the text message shown on the speedometer.
  3. On my 212, I have observed that the Passenger airbag malfunction alert sometimes appears on the dashboard while I am driving alone; however, this signal does not activate when there is an occupant in the passenger seat. I suspect a malfunction with the seat occupancy sensor; nonetheless, does anybody own other insights or experiences? Is there a simple solution or another approach? Salutations.
  4. I understand your exasperation. It may be mere chance that it broke after the EPS bolts were replaced; I suspect the issue lies in the absence of power steering, resulting in difficulty turning the wheels, rather than the clunky sounds often associated with a rack bolt failure. My first course of action would be to contact LR customer services to elucidate that you have trouble-free ownership until the bolts were replaced, at which point this issue arose. The service performed on your vehicle will be recorded in the system, and I presume you possess some kind of documentation upon completion of the task. Best of luck.
  5. We own a high-output MHEV (Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle) that exhibits intermittent behaviour. Specifically, after driving for a certain period and thereafter shutting off the air conditioning, the vehicle emits a loud sound that gradually diminishes over time.
  6. The sound is akin to a "whine," similar to the sound produced by a microphone. Extremely high-pitched.
  7. The sound is audible in the vicinity of the car's front, but not within the vehicle.
  8. Greetings, we just acquired a CX90 vehicle and are now encountering a shrill noise when deactivating the air conditioning system. I will attempt to record a video and share it at the earliest opportunity. However, I would want to enquire if anybody else has encountered this issue and if there is a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) available to address it. I was quite aback by the presence of this feature, considering it was absent in our pilfered CX90.
  9. Inspect the amount of fluid in the gearbox by purchasing a dipstick. It is inspected while it is at a high temperature. After a 30-minute trip, the engine is idling on a level surface, with the transmission in park. As mentioned before, it is advisable to have the gearbox plug replaced anyway.
  10. VCDS generates a log file in a simple text format. You may definitely upload it here.
  11. I shall have them examined when I am not working, NevoBMW320i. I do not believe they were.
  12. The three tires that were installed are seeing a gradual decrease in air pressure. I informed them about it while having the tracking verified. I may place the number 33 in the front and 38 in the rear, resulting in a gradual drop in pressure over many days. Subsequently, I can adjust the front to 31 and the rear to 34. I will not return to that garage since I do not have confidence in their trustworthiness.
  13. Greetings, everyone. A few weeks ago, I purchased a Bridgestone tire without realising that it was not a run-flat tire. It was only when I had to replace the back tires with Bridgestone's that I became aware of this. Would the absence of a run-flat tire cause a decrease in tire pressure? The location is a garage. I was informed that the valves had rubber components that wear out often. Is there a method to verify whether the pressure sensors need replacement? I have doubts about the credibility of the garage. They informed me that the right rear tire was worn on the outside side, suggesting a potential misalignment of the tracking. I had a complimentary inspection conducted, during which they adjusted the tracking without informing me. I informed them that the item will be cancelled due to the presence of a screw causing a loss of pressure, which is why I need new tires. Thank you.
  14. There is no need to remove the fuse; just press the accelerator pedal fully to the floor. Disables the injectors.
  15. Simply begin the task; individuals tend to exaggerate when something has been delayed for more than a few months.
  16. A store has the ability to apply a black colour to it. In order to get the desired outcome, it is necessary to properly prepare the surface and use an appropriate heat resistant paint. That is the definition of OEM...
  17. I would be interested in doing a trial or experiment with one. I am now located in the United States, by the way.
  18. I am unable to see the functionality of your Idrive screen when used in conjunction with a more recent head unit. I attempted to enhance the size of my 5.5-inch display to 8.8 inches. I thoroughly examined all the components, including the connections, but unfortunately, I was unable to achieve successful functionality. As already mentioned, a Champ 2 certainly use the distinct 6-pin purple video connector. Would it not be more straightforward to get a pre-owned machine that is identical to the one you presently possess?
  19. Can you visually see the sensors when your current one chooses to function? Additionally, I am uncertain whether the head units are programmed to the vehicle identification number (VIN) in order to render thefts futile.
  20. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266740309078?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338774556&toolid=10001&customid=130832X1595858Xeb4e22876afa66ed0dd8161b06ec394c I installed an Android screen and recall that although the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) screen was CIC, the video cable used was NBT, specifically the 6-pin kind. It seemed to be an intermediary option between CIC and NBT. What are the available connectors on your Navigation Professional unit?

  21. This listing displays the backside of a Champ 2 device, with the purple colour indicating the video output connection to the screen.
