  1. Thank you for sharing your expertise and thoughtful analysis. It's gratifying to know that yours is functioning. Similar to any novel model during its first year, some models may encounter difficulties. At now, we anticipate a reduction in problematic locations; nevertheless, the outcome remains uncertain. Meanwhile, stay connected with us here and feel free to provide feedback, both positive and negative.
  2. This is the reason why the negative is first disconnected and then reconnected.
  3. What was the cause of such occurrence?...the voltage is merely 12 volts, which is insufficient to cause an electric shock. Applying pressure to each terminal will not elicit any sensation, unless you are manipulating a live ignition coil, which produces a little stinging sensation owing to the presence of several thousand volts. If one were to make contact with a live terminal at the location where it was shorting to the earthed body, it is possible that experiencing pain may arise as a result of the heat created.
  4. As a mature individual with a youthful spirit, I am choosing to align myself with the majority in this situation. Strive for simplicity and authenticity, replacing any elements that detract from the overall quality (such as alloy centre caps, for instance), and focus on achieving the highest possible level for the painting. Black vehicles with a glossy and attractive paint finish seem quite impressive. Have a pleasurable experience!
  5. Thank you for sharing your expertise and providing the information.
  6. That pricing is reasonable given the substantial amount of effort needed. However, I now have 99,000 miles on my vehicle and have previously had two maintenance, with the most recent one being 23 months ago. Therefore, I want to wait for at least another year before getting another service. Will they agree to do just a stand-alone service on the gearbox, without any other tasks?
  7. Greetings, everyone. My 2013 S204 with 7G+ gearbox has already reached 10 years of age and I am responsible for its service. There is a discrepancy between the Mr Car Assyst plus and Mercedes Myservice web page on the kind of service required. I am tempted to choose the Mercedes service website. Regardless, the vehicle requires a B9 service which includes the installation of an air filter, fuel filter, and a brake fluid change. Interestingly, it also need an Auto Trans service. I am sceptical since the second gear box of the vehicle was serviced two years ago (the service before the most recent one) and it was just about 22,000 miles ago. Undoubtedly, it is not yet due. I believed that the requirement was either 50,000 miles or 5 years, whichever occurs first. So far, it has only been requested twice in over a decade. Can anybody verify? I will personally handle the remaining tasks of the service and use the oil extractor to take advantage of the conveniently located top mounted oil filter, ensuring a quick and clean process.
  8. If you visit the Blackvue Official Outlet, you may get the 2-channel version of the 590X for the price of the 1-channel version in the Amazon link you provided. The item is 'refurbished,' indicating that it is often an ex-demo product. I have purchased two items from this supplier, and they have been identical to new.

  9. The user's text bears resemblance to my own. At first, the recurrence of the hatch malfunction was sporadic, but it rapidly escalated to a near-consistent frequency at each instance of hatch opening.
  10. The 2022 Turbo Premium Plus vehicle has an audible popping noise upon the activation of the hatch release mechanism. I have scheduled a meeting with my automotive dealership for tomorrow am. The auditory phenomenon occurs consistently with each instance of opening, hence necessitating immediate auditory perception by the individuals involved. The user expresses gratitude for the assistance provided.
  11. The vehicle in question is expected to exhibit reduced speed due to its increased weight, as previously mentioned.
  12. The automobile in question represents the most unsatisfactory ownership experience I have encountered so far.It is evident that you, organman, were never an owner of a Chevrolet Vega.
  13. The quality of the Matts is satisfactory, albeit not exceptional. However, considering that they were obtained free of charge, I am content with them. The illuminated sill coverings are seen to be excessively priced relative to their inherent value, however they function adequately and possess an aesthetically pleasing appearance, surpassing the quality of similar products originating from China. The rear camera cleaner is still pending delivery and installation, therefore preventing me from providing any comments or feedback at this time.
  14. I reside in an area characterised by a rather low incidence of criminal activities, however I do not allocate much contemplation to this aspect. I have not conducted a detailed investigation of the particular methods used by thieves to amplify key signals and facilitate auto theft. However, I have personally attempted to unlock or lock my vehicle using the key fob while standing a few feet away, and have not seen any successful unauthorised access. Consequently, my keys are placed on the same shelf where all my other automobile keys have been positioned over the years. I own gap insurance, which provides coverage in the event of theft, therefore potentially facilitating the acquisition of a new vehicle.
  15. Regrettably, the individual responsible for maintenance lacks the necessary resources to engage in this particular conflict. I have sent an email to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) inquiring about the possibility of receiving legal support. Although the outcome is uncertain, it is worth making an attempt.
  16. Remarkable synchronicity. The free tier of the service allows for a maximum of 300 calls per month, with a daily limit of 10 calls. Even in the scenario when the user incurs a cost of -600 calls per month. The capability of the system is more limited in comparison to the integration offered by Home Assistant. Mazda's actions may be considered disreputable, in my opinion.
  17. I highly recommend obtaining the pricing from MB, particularly the Ebay store (MB Newcastle), since it may provide a favorable outcome. Brembo is also an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), notably for AMG cars, and comparable brake discs may be sourced through Autodoc or ECP at very competitive pricing.
  18. This object is aesthetically pleasing. I concur with the prevailing sentiment: the rims exhibit a notable efficacy. The rounded contours of the vehicle are aesthetically enhanced by the smooth contours of the wheel spokes. Additional photographs would be much appreciated at your earliest convenience. Well done, Mr. BD.
  19. I have purchased the following items: a BMW Diagnostic Software Cable lead Ediabas Inpa DIS SSS from eBay, as well as a BMW 20PIN MALE TO 16PIN Auto Car Diagnostic Tool Cable, also from eBay. However, it should be noted that those with proficiency in computer skills may encounter significant challenges during the setup process of this program.
  20. The problem has been resolved. Understood. To clarify my previous statement: The subject of discussion is to the DME (Digital Motor Electronics) system of the BMW 328i model. Specifically, the focus is on the engine loom of the aforementioned vehicle. The subject of discussion pertains to the car model "316i" and its associated components, namely the "Car loon" and "Ews/key" systems. I purchased a set of coordinated automotive components, including a DME (Digital Motor Electronics), EWS (Electronic Immobilizer System), key, transponder, and antenna, from an online marketplace known as eBay. After doing extensive testing, it was determined that the DME product initially purchased was proven to be defective. Currently, I own a functioning automobile. The subject of discussion pertains to the engine loom of the 328i. The vehicle in question is a car with the model designation 316i. The car's electronic control units include the Digital Motor Electronics (DME), Electronic Drive-Away Protection (EWS), and the key used for authentication and access control. Additionally, there is mention of a 328sport variant, which may have additional features I now own an additional set of components, namely a tested and functional EWS (Electronic Drive-Away Protection)/Key/transponder/antenna unit, which has been aligned with a modern DME (Digital Motor Electronics) system.
  21. Thank you for the advice. I examined the available alternatives for aligning the EWS/DME components, attempting each one, but unfortunately, none of them were successful. Upon reflection, it is possible that I have caused harm to the Electronic Warfare System (EWS) during the process of dismantling the vehicle. Specifically, I connected a battery charger to provide electricity to the car while the engine was removed. I had a little incident when the charger was inadvertently set to a voltage of 24 volts. I came across a digital motor electronics (DME), electronic wastegate system (EWS), and key bundle for a 328i coupe on eBay. It is my hope that this purchase would help alleviate any potential difficulties.
  22. Greetings, Thank you for the proposition; but, due to security concerns, it is imperative that the electronic immobilizer system (EWS) remains operational in order to ensure the safety and protection of the road vehicle.
