Maintain distance. Recently purchased a 2026 model. Preferred 3.3L, 500 miles at dealership with differential leak. Purchased it at Smithhaven Mazda on Long Island. The service attendant behaved as though she were doing a favour by addressing the issue. Mazda produced a BMW.

- The principal distinction will be the method by which audio signals are transmitted to the external amplifier from the source. The Concert/Symphony radios provide analogue line-level outputs to the B&O amplifier, but the MMI3G system transmits digital audio to the amplifier via the optical MOST bus. The distinction appears minimal to me; but, if it holds significance for you, it is advisable to compare them in person.

MBUX allows oral instructions to avoid navigation via highways, but it does not permit the cancellation of the 'avoid motorways' command using vocal means.

I appreciate your assistance; it was not immediately clear where to search, but after iterative trial and error, I ultimately identified the pertinent on-screen option and rectified the mistake. Strangely, the driver can verbally eliminate motorway driving, but cannot verbally reverse the directive.

I recently utilised the voice navigation on my GLA250e to circumvent motorways en route to my selected destination. "Hey Mercedes, navigate to X while avoiding motorways." Currently, when I intend to utilise MBUX for navigation to a selected location via motorways, it is omitting motorways from my designated route. I have attempted multiple voice commands to negate 'avoiding motorways' without success. I have attempted, "Hey Mercedes, navigate to X..." By the most expedient path, Through highways, encompassing motorways, Through the M40 motorway. Incorporating the M40 motorway Revoke the 'avoid motorways' option. Consequently, MBUX persists in charting a course that circumvents highways. While on a motorway, MBUX consistently recommends taking the next exit, then subsequently cancels route guidance as the current path encompasses a motorway. What is the method for rectifying this?

I have consistently replaced the manufacturers' OEM blades with Bosch Aerotwin blades on the vehicles I have purchased. I consider them the superior blades on the market.

No visible cables on my 212. Wires may be easily concealed under the screen trim and connected discreetly to an ignition-switched 12V supply located behind the dashboard.

Verification should be conducted using the VIN rather than the registration number. 👍

Indeed, but was this tire subjected to testing? This is not an inexpensive Chinese tire. Numerous favorable reviews suggest that it is a commendable tire with a V speed rating, a 109 weight rating, and a 400 treadwear rating, accompanied by a 35,000-mile guarantee, which I think Walmart would honor if purchased and fitted there. While I am uncertain about pursuing this option, it may serve as a feasible alternative for those seeking to economize.

I discovered the Accelera Iota ST68 at Walmart priced at $161 per tire. Received excellent ratings, achieving a rating of 4.8 out of 5. Not a tire manufactured in China.

Tire Rack offers the Kumho Crugen for $220 per tire with a $40 rebate, but they are currently out of stock. Given their 640 treadwear rating and favorable evaluations, I will likely choose them. Nonetheless, after 12,000 miles, my Toyo Tires retain substantial tread depth. Given the substantial weight of the vehicle, selecting a tire with a high treadwear rating is essential.

It seems peculiar that the throttle exhibits both latency and excessive sensitivity simultaneously.One seems to be in opposition to the other.

The temperature influences the levels, which fluctuate when the oil undergoes heating and cooling owing to expansion. Ensure to transition the gear selector through each gear for 20 seconds, commencing and concluding in the park position. A scanner would also provide the temperature of the automatic transmission fluid.

They possess a designated threshold for low temperatures and a distinct threshold for high temperatures. It is essential for the dipstick to be of the appropriate length.

I received one liter of Dipthane and used it all.I am not asserting that it was ineffective (I have never disassembled the engine to investigate!). However, it felt identical and did not impact the measurable miles per gallon.

Utilising Apple Play and Google Maps from my mobile device
DMGRS replied to DMGRS's topic in General Car Chat
I possess the maps application on my phone and understand that if I initiate a route from my residence and thereafter go to my vehicle, it will continue to function without internet connectivity; nevertheless, it will not provide traffic updates or information on potential accidents. -

I am unaware of the exact charges; however, my PAYG contract rates are 3p, 2p, and 1p. Nevertheless, while using mobile data for checking email or WhatsApp, it seems to incur a minimum charge of 35p, even if used for about a minute. -

Thank you for your response. Before I pose a question, please be aware that I lack proficiency in technology. My question is, when I connected the phone to the satnav using the USB cable, I noticed "Auto" appeared, but I did not proceed further. If I configure it and activate it at my residence, where I have internet/Wi-Fi, will it continue to function while I am driving away, given that I lack internet access unless I enable mobile data? -
I own an OPPO A16 smartphone equipped with Google Maps. I own a USB cable that connects the phone to the USB port on the dashboard. Must I have mobile data enabled to see the newest maps and receive real-time information? Using mobile data over the whole of the journey would incur costs, however the exact amount is unknown. How can I put Google Maps on my screen? I launch Google Maps and then proceed. This may be obvious to many, but I have never seen this option previously, and I lack technical expertise. Thank you.

I need a new one as well; mine is discolored.

By remapping to enable the throttle plates to fully open in E63 fashion, it should be nearly optimal.

Do not! I intended to attend their concert in 1979 for the Wall tour, but I was excessively inebriated and neglected to get tickets. -
I possessed my key within a Faraday bag, nevertheless it remained functional. I subsequently purchased a new one from Halfords, which resolved the signal issue and functioned well. Salutations
