  1. Thank you for getting back to me. Excuse me, but I have some questions regarding this mount. Is it possible, for instance, to charge the phone even when it's in use? Just how powerful is the phone's magnetic grip? When you drive over bumps, does it stay put or does it bounce? Much obliged.
  2. Looking for a MagSafe phone mount that is compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and has built-in wireless charging for my A3 8v 2014 phone. So that there is minimal wiring from the charging port, I would like it to be positioned in-between the center vents in the dash. Please, anybody, point me in the correct way; I would be eternally grateful.
  3. the mileage has increased by about 20,000km after having the instrument cluster replaced by an official Mercedes dealer. The reason behind this is that Mercedes uses the actual kilometres rather than the initial kilometres since their system stores them. I don't understand. Has anyone else had this happen to them? This means the mileage might have been altered at some point... and the vehicle wasn't an authentic Mercedes-Euro import; it was imported from Japan.

  5. The replies are appreciated. I have exhausted all of the do-it-yourself suggestions made by both of you and AI, but the problem persists. Two Indianapolis garages were unable to resolve the issue; one even proposed swapping out the instrument cluster—excuse the pun—because it incorporates the brain. Finally took it to a Mercedes dealer, but they couldn't fix the cluster or clear the messages either. They suggested getting a new one. The vehicle is based in Cyprus, so my choices are limited. As they prepare to order the part from Germany, the cost is estimated to be £1500 plus. It is highly unlikely that they will be able to re-program an old device. Does this make sense?
  6. After being parked for about two months... B class 2016 petrol b180 All of the warning lights turned on when the car started. Vehicle is operational, but warning lights remain illuminated. The problem persisted even after I tried to reset it by removing the battery and leaving it alone for an hour. Swimming suit. All the warning lights are on, but the rev counter isn't functioning... Not working: reverse cam, but stops and starts are fine.
  7. How can I connect the SD card to my MacBook if my computer lacks an SD port? I have utilised an antiquated "USB/card" driver.
  8. Greetings, I possess a 2018 Kia Niro DCT Hybrid. The navigation system is malfunctioning. The SD card is installed, yet the vehicle continues to prompt “Insert SD card.” I utilised Kia's official update software on my computer to refresh the navigation files on the SD card. The computer successfully reads the card, yet the vehicle fails to acknowledge it. I attempted to duplicate the files onto my computer initially and subsequently transfer them back to the SD card, yet I continue to receive the same notification. What might be the underlying reasons for this, and how can I rectify it?
  9. The price wasn't the main concern, but the 16% hike from the previous one, which was around a year ago, was.

  11. Today, I received a tpms warning. The tyre company and the one that fixed it both seem to have cheated me out of ÂŁ28 (and you can't even begin to suggest that this amount accounts for inflation!).
  12. Experiencing a test drive instead of "possessing. I evaluated several S560e models last year, drawn by their enhanced battery capacity and range. Two private transactions in Central London. Departed feeling underwhelmed by the hybrid experience. Both were possessed by their initial proprietors, two medical doctors of small enterprises, residing in the central congestion area. Affluent proprietors, undertaking limited distances and utilising primary dealerships for maintenance. Despite the intriguing nature of electric driving, neither of these proprietors had taken the initiative to charge their vehicles, relying solely on the hybrid mechanism to maintain battery power, and both appeared to lack knowledge or interest in the intricacies of charging configurations. Individuals in their sixties and seventies who simply appreciated a large automobile. It was intriguing that both individuals were selling to transition to Bentleys, while my previous encounters with S Class owners indicated that sellers usually divested to acquire the newest S Class model. Remarkable automobiles featuring expansive displays and an overall sense of opulence, yet I departed with the impression that the technology surpasses the owners' enthusiasm for it. They merely desire an opulent automobile. I observed these vehicles on the assembly line at Sindelfingen, and they appeared remarkable at that time. The fuel efficiency appeared to be comparable to that of a standard V8. Few proprietors, apart from those in the luxury transportation sector, are concerned with fuel efficiency. The availability of used 560e vehicles appeared limited, suggesting that their sales in the UK were not substantial. Fewer than a few hundred in 2020, and appears to have been a lacklustre endeavour, likely due to the substantial tax benefits associated with operating a company like EQS EV.
  13. I believe I have committed a significant mistake. The filter warning indicator illuminated; my reliable mechanic was on vacation, and his "associate" claimed he could repair it, having previously serviced multiple Evoque filters. It appears he has eliminated the filter and reconfigured the computer. He stated that it is unnecessary and will not influence its MOT (2018 HSE 36K miles). It emits a slight amount of smoke when idling at low revolutions while coming to a stop. The repair incurred an expense of ÂŁ1200. Have I acted foolishly? Must I invest additional funds and reinstall a filter? Guidance requested.
