Re: Wireless charging error

slightest slide, and it's off the charging pad. Charges slowly as well. At least it means the phone doesn't die so quickly

Re: Harman Kardon stereo?

It feels like a real step up from my 2 year old XC60 with the Harmon Kardon sound system - I've definitely been impressed, and that was with a USB hard drive in the XC60 and a bluetooth Samsung S7 on the XC40. I've got a lot more control here than I ever did, and the bass definitely feels more meani...

Yeh, I'm guessing because I was so late to the party, I didn't get a choice...?

Re: 3.5 weeks of my First Edition....

Interesting, having had a look at the original price and spec list I had, there was no mention of the 20" wheels - only 19" on FE. So I guess I've got exactly the spec I thought I was getting! Phew! Will give them a ring about the economy and sensor calibration tomorrow though

Oooo Polestar...... Had it on my D5 XC60, wasn't a big jump from the stock engine I don't think, but you did get a much bigger improvement on a D4 engine, which might make it a worthwhile upgrade for my D4 FE!

Re: 3.5 weeks of my First Edition....

Yep, you're right! Lights on, it works! Fab, thanks! :D Though £350 would have been nicer.... :D Only the wheels different on mines then. Comparing the seats with the configurator, looks like I've got the R-Design ones, though not sure what they would have been fitted with if it wasn't those... anyo...

Re: 3.5 weeks of my First Edition....

will try that.... The XC60 wasted water even when the lights were off, so that could be an improvement!

Re: 3.5 weeks of my First Edition....

OK, so it's not as simple as having the cut-outs = having the washers. I've got the cut outs, but no matter how much windscreen washing I do, the headlight washers do not pop out. I can't (easily - I'm not going to try to force them!) pry them out as I could with my XC60 either. So I don't think I h...

Re: 3.5 weeks of my First Edition....

Re: 3.5 weeks of my First Edition....

Yeh, I'll give the dealer a ring tomorrow about the fuel economy and to see about camera calibration... In terms of the missing headlight washers, what's the visual difference between cars with them, and cars without? Both cars will have the cut outs, but one is likely to have blanking rather than a...
