In keeping with that trend, I had two young men from Eastern Europe come to look at my Boxster before I sold it. There was some faffing about, and someone even asked whether they could turn the car around. As a result, the exhaust would be located further back. Afterwards, they offered me a discount of 25% "because the car was blowing out oil." Sorry, but my autos don't have oil leaks. "Stop, the beginning."Look, "they said, there's oil on the exhaust pipe and on your driveway."Apologies, but the oil is where it is because you kids dropped it. My driveway is free of oil spots. I then instructed them to leave. The following man was just as strange. Upon arrival, he glanced over the vehicle, declined the opportunity for a test drive, and promptly paid the entire asking sum. He arrived and sold the item in only twenty minutes. The contemporary individual purchaser is a mystery to me.

A few of months ago, I had Braybrooks expertly install a Pioneer sph-da77dab for £850, and it has been working well ever since. With options for Standard, Bose, and Harmon Kardon audio, as well as different versions of the command, NTG, and ancillaries (CD changer, phone, satnav, etc.) installed, it may get difficult as to what has to be added, uninstalled, or bypassed. So, you'll need to do a significant amount of study. You can find all the necessary components at InCar Tec or a similar store if you're handy; however, any 6.8-inch double-din head unit would serve as a suitable substitute for the pioneer (at least in my opinion; I must admit, I'm not that knowledgeable about vehicle audio, which is why I opted for Braybrooks). In addition to being more accessible than Braybrooks, the command staff online are well regarded. It would be wise to enquire about their capabilities in installing aftermarket head units.

Very much so when I received mine! Hear it 😉

My 2022 HEV (before the facelift) had headlights that I wasn't too fond of, especially the dip beam. I used Osram Nightbreaker HB3 light bulbs as a replacement. Even though they weren't at all like the HID/halogen setup on my old Saab 9-5 Aero, the noticeable difference made them tolerable.

When importing from Japan, how simple is it?

They should probably spend some time in the engine compartment if they're going to make a tonne of money.

Well, they said that none of the Japanese Toyotas ever had a canbus, so that's pretty much it 😙

For hours, I have been searching everywhere on Google... Nothing comes up, and I can't locate any decoders that are compatible with JDMA. So, based on the AI response above... Could the "connected" state be toggled by choosing the protocol? It seems to reason that the correct decoder would still display "connected" regardless of the protocol choice. Can someone explain this to me?

I am grateful. It was determined that it was not a JPN matching decoder after trying copilot as well. Even after attempting several protocols, nothing worked...

To replace the Japanese-locked device, the dealer fitted an Android one. The controls for the steering wheel and air conditioning are operational. Having said that, the canbus disconnect option is there in the device's factory settings. I understand that choosing Canbus is necessary. Since I was unsure which provider to choose, I looked through all of the options until I realised that chr was one of the models. However, the message "connected canbus" persists even after I choose it. Am I overlooking anything? Every bit of information would be helpful because I am completely new to this. Even though I used Google extensively, I still have no idea how to properly search for this new information.

Just curious as to why they automatically turn on at some points along the road but not at others; I'm not driving anywhere that requires them. Joined this community because the people here are so helpful and willing to share what they know.

I wouldn't consider this a "need" or even notice its absence as I've never had a car with this feature before. Having said that, I'm more interested in knowing whether other CX-30 owners have experienced intermittent issues with this function. On occasion, the auto-bright feature performs exactly as I would anticipate it to under ideal conditions; this occurs on the same route night after night, with the same street illumination and everything. On other occasions, the lights don't automatically switch on. One possible explanation is that the 25 mph speed limit in this gated community is not high enough to activate the technology. Like I said before, I'm used to manually switching between low and high beams when needed, so this isn't a huge concern for me. Nonetheless, I find it intriguing.

When we compare plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) that rely on their batteries for the entire, relatively short trip to HEVs that do their own thing when driving on mixed-length excursions, I feel like we're comparing apples and oranges.

There are "issues" here, but there are also "issues" with H/K. For example, my neighbor's New Santa Fe (a copycat of the Defender) was in the shop for over 60 days.The length of time he spent in a loaner caught my eye. One of my favourite things about Mazda is how unique their designs are.Regardless of what H/K does, it always seems like they're copying someone else.

The sound is similar to the typical disk-stuck pads. For my part, it's becoming worse. (due to the persistent rain) The brakes likely require maintenance, therefore I was wondering when the last time the automobile was serviced was.

The task should be very straightforward, provided the axle carrier does not obstruct the removal of the exhaust and propshaft. However, I am uncertain about the costs, as they can vary significantly; it is advisable to obtain multiple quotes.

The urgency of the repair is contingent upon the extent of the leakage; if the staining is minimal, it may be addressed at a later time, but if the stained area is substantial, it is advisable to undertake the repair promptly. The movement of the drive shafts is the reason they have a finite lifespan.

There are three seals: one for the input from the propshaft and two for the left and right drive shafts. You will need to inspect to determine which one is leaking.

What is your location in London? I am aware of several contacts you can reach out to, depending on your location.
