Re: In car HiFi

Ah ok. Since the shipping of the one I linked to is taking forever, I'm considering to go for this instead, as it looks to have a bit more different tools that may come in handy. In general seems to be a big market for these things, but haven't been able to find them in our local stores. www.amazon....

Re: In car HiFi

Well it's quite basic I think/guess? it's just something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Door-Plastic-Trim-Panel-Dash-Installation-Removal-Kit-Tool-4pcs-CL-Pry-R9V1/174348908418?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D09fc526fb0c14b4983cd82973a511eb...

Re: In car HiFi

Kindly do share it if you come across it. Also looking into aftermaket options / speaker replacements as well. Waiting for some trim removal kit to arrive to check if there's any wiring on the 2 rear speaker placements from (Harmon Kardon) that's not included in the standard system.

Re: T3 manual - real world MPG

Hi, I have had a T3 automatic for almost a year now. In my experience it depends a lot on congestion. So my drive to work (it's 12km) if it's congested (30-40mins) then it would be 9-10l/100km. If not congested (20-25 mins) then it'd be 7.5-8.5l/100km. The sweet spot seems to be either on speeds of ...

Re: Dash cam

For those yet to attach it, Morozov Automotive has made some great youtube videos for Toyotas' RAV4 and are starting to do it on the XC40 as well. Saw this the other day and it might be of use for those who are looking to do it themselves. Certainly gonna be useful to me when I'll install my cam. ht...

Audio upgrade options (retrofit/aftermarket)

Hi all, I have a question for those who may know something about options when it comes to the audio system in the XC40. Here in Denmark we have the "regular" performance audio for the Momentum and you're also able to upgrade that to high performance audio or harmon kardon. I didn't realise...

Re: Retrofit hybrid

Thanks for the quick response. Makes good sense. Was just wondering, since I remember that a few years ago there was lots of talk about retrofit hybrid kits etc. but indeed, makes good sense. Thanks.

Retrofit hybrid

HI all, I hope that all are well in these odd times. I have been trying to look into the theoretic possibility of retrofitting hybrid capabilities from a T5 Twin Engine to a regular XC40 T3. So it's quite likely that it's not in any way possible, but in case anyone knows more, then it would be inter...
