He said he was looking at Selekt so not new.

Thought the same about the fuel as well, that's disgraceful.

Re: Model Year 25

Weird that heated front windscreen will only be available on the top spec cars.

Re: Auto start/off and pilot assist

Pretty sure that Sensus ones could simply change colour. You’re right. From Sensus owner’s manual: “The car is equipped with a number of LEDs that make it possible to change the colour of the light. These lights are switched on when the car is running. Changing the colour of the light: 1. Press Set...

Re: Auto start/off and pilot assist

I've still got the LEDs in the front and back but they only glow off-white. You can still change intensity though. Pretty sure that Sensus ones could simply change colour. I hadn't even looked for them as there was no mention in the spec for mood lighting. I had mine set on blue in my previous car ...

Re: Bristol port delay

Yes, funny I mentioned a Formentor at one point but my wife said she didn't like it either! Trouble is that unless you can find something else actually in stock in the UK any new orders from any manufacturer will probably be affected from any port if as said its down to a shortage of transporters/dr...

Re: Auto start/off and pilot assist

Mood lighting was pretty much useless in the Sensus cars as you could hardly see it but has been dropped from the new cars like a number of things.

I'm guessing the hardware isn't there as it was separate little LEDs in the roof.

Re: Test drove a Used XC40 and got 'Tortioise/Limp Mode' due orange eng mngt light.

Posts with the same problem mention the battery being the cause. I agree that a car suddenly going into limp mode is a crazy and potentially dangerous situation and is completely at odds with the increasing implementation of safety systems. Surely a warning can come up on the dash without suddenly g...

Re: 2.13.3 incoming

I did 200 miles on Saturday and didnt notice it, so maybe. Lot of motorway so not a good test. Be great if it has been fixed.

Re: Warm/hot air on your feet

I use voice commands more than I did with Sensus but I must start using them even more.

Voice commands and high beam assist are things I wanted years ago and now we have them, well have had for sometime now.

Re: Warm/hot air on your feet

Overlapped posts. I can't remember if yours is a Sensus or AAOS car. If the latter you don't get much in the way of a paper manual, if any without checking, as it would be way out of date given the numerous software updates. I have the posted link on my tablet (have the link for my previous Sensus c...
