Re: iOS 12.2

As an update, this is what I did to try and solve the problem. It might have been the last step, or a combination of all of them. 1. Did a phone restart (didn't work). 2. Connected the car to my home wifi. Coincidentally, a map update was available, so I installed that (didn't work). 3. Connected my...

Re: Active high beam headlights

As Silver Moose has said, the lights do not adapt to the vehicle in front at all (at least in Australia). They do improve the night driving experience, though - although I'm not that impressed with the overall high beam power. Auto high beam makes some surprising decisions sometimes, but it's very g...
