Re: Heated from Screen not working with 6" Snow

My Bad I was not expecting it to melt the snow only assisting in making it slide off the screen once the bottom layer heated. Thanks to the @iggy6543 who suggested cooking a breaki on it. :)

In Canada my brothers Ford Explorer cleared his snow (Ok only 4") as the layer nearest the screen gets heated the rest just slides off. But then I suppose Canada get a lot more Snow than us.

Re: Auto stop start disabled

Mine did the same thing after only doing about 30 miles between March and July. I have just done 2 days of going Edinburgh to Glasgow and return about 200 mile and during the second return journey it came back on.

Re: Hands free voice control - standard commands.

I have had my inscription since March 2019 done 11000 miles and found the Voice Control easy to use and to date had no problems at all. Used mainly for Navigation, Heating and Phone and all works really well with my accent.
