Re: T4 R design

The USB port with the white surround is the one to use for CarPlay / Android Auto.

Both will provide charge to a device, so if you're not using CarPlay it makes no difference which one you plug into.

Re: iOS 12.2

I haven't done the 12.2 update yet, maybe I'll hold off for now and see what other responses you get!

Re: Rear camera and boot switch catches broke

I'm sure I remember a few posts in the early delivery days last summer of people getting problems like this. I've not experienced it myself.

Re: Active high beam headlights

I almost never use the auto-dip, either on the XC40 or my previous A-Class. It only sees oncoming traffic once their lights are in view and obviously by that stage you've already shone your full beams into the other driver's face. Controlled manually, I can see the other car's lights illuminating th...

Re: Heated windscreen

That would probably explain why I've noticed windows misting a bit over the last week or so. I've been experimenting with driving in Eco mode (doesn't seem to make much mpg difference over my individual mode of basically comfort with stop/start turned off). Hadn't considered that the aircon setting ...

Re: Software Upgrades

Get yourself a free sim from three.co.uk then register it at three.co.uk/freedata. If you don't carry on with it, nothing lost.

It's 200MB per month having checked, but seems enough for the small amounts of data required for satnav traffic

Re: Software Upgrades

Thanks drjamesr, that's what I was suspecting about the range. I've got a 12 month pre-pay 3 sim in the car at the moment, so I'm not short on data. I'd recommend looking at the 3 are sim with IIRC 300mb free data per month. I've put one in the wife's VW for downloading traffic data and other little...

Re: Software Upgrades

After connecting to home WiFi, is the car smart enough to switch automatically to the built in modem when you move out of range, or did you have to do that manually. I still can’t ge5 mine to see the WiFi at the moment, about 10 metres away through one external wall.
