Re: Collision warning or autobrake activation etc?

Unfortunately I don't go this route often so can't experiment as I would like, but I suppose there are a number of things I might do to avoid activation, such as slowing down or by starting to steer earlier. I'd really like to know what systems are activating though. A way to view recent messages w...

Re: Collision warning or autobrake activation etc?

Does it still activate if you take the bend a little slower? If you have need to “straighten the corner” then maybe your speed is a little to high?😉

Re: Map update

Directly from internet via the sim gives the advantage of not tying up the usb socket while the install is in progress. I found the overall time for a map update is shorter via sim than it is by usb.

Re: Deluxe edition albums on USB

How the metadata embedded in a music file is used can vary widely depending on the device being used for playback. I’m guessing that the music tracks on your iPod were imported by you via iTunes from music tracks on your pc/Mac which were ripped from cds? There are many user editable metadata fields...

Re: Dashcams Again

Are folks who self-fitting their cams just tucking the cable behind the trim on the roof and door pillar? I assume there is a tucking path from there to the 12V socket? On current car (XC40 is in the mail) the cable follows the pillar down and tucks behind the rubber of the door seal and into a cov...

Re: Current XC40 would you purchase again

No I wouldn’t buy another XC40 in its current spec. My first addition has all the bells and whistles included and scraped in just under £40k new. To get close to the same spec again would be > £45k and with all due respect the XC40 is not worth that sort of cash. After 18mths of driving it I’ve stil...

Re: Album cover artwork not showing on car system

Are you now on Harman Kardon/Dirac premium sound upgrade? I have a First Edition which has the Harmon Kardon system as standard. Are you saying there is an upgrade available to that system? Can’t see that anything would improve without a proper sub woofer being installed... There is a subwoofer the...

Re: Album cover artwork not showing on car system

Regarding previous comment regarding quality/volume of the Sensus system. My last car was a Skoda Superb L&K with the Canton sound system. It was far far superior to the Sensus. Better Bass, much higher volume and higher quality sound all round. Pretty sure I’ll be going back to the Superb at t...

Re: Album cover artwork not showing on car system

I use a 128gb usb stick onto which I’ve copied thousands of tracks in lossless flac format. Used my pc to add metadata, including my own scans of covers which I embed within the music file.I have found that if I change the embedded cover image then the Sensus shows my image rather than anything from...
