Re: Tyres

Unfortunately ey didn't have the standard 235 50 19 size, but they did have stock of the 255 50 19's. So went for those after investigating size difference and clearances. Just be careful with a switch like this. Certainly have an eye on the road legislation in the different European countries you ...

Re: Thread for North West Europe Map data updates

I have tried to upload with both 2.0 and 3.0 USB stick. In the XC40 I saw no significant difference in upload speed. I'm also curious to port speeds in the car. All 2.0 and 3.0 USB sticks exist with different read (and write) speeds. So even a slow 3.0 USB stick won't perform good in comparison to ...

Re: Thread for North West Europe Map data updates

Iā€™m planning to buy a new usb stick for the map updates, thinking my old sticks may be too slow. I noticed that some of you mentioned shorter times to have the maps installed than others. I was thinking that maybe this could also have something to do with the usb stick used. Has anybody an idea of t...

Re: Thread for North West Europe Map data updates

It would be much easier if you could download just the countries you need on a stick and transfer these to the car in one go. But you can't download two or more separate regions to one usb stick at the same time, unless someone has found a way to do this. Until now I just had to download and install...

Re: Lighting

I just fitted replacement led light bulbs for the indicators and the brake light. I went for bulbs of IPMtechology on Ebay. Took the brightes ones I could find for the indicators, 3400 lumen, which I shouldn't have done. On the led brakelights, no lumens were indicated. Had to remove them both as th...

Re: Sensus Screen Protector

I finally found the time to install my screen protector. I went for the matte screenprotector from Brotect on Ebay. The bowl of steaming water did the trick for the floating dust particles. No need for a piece of scotch tape to the top edge of the backing of the screen protector, as the Brotect scre...

I just leave the key on the front seat when washing the car. Doesn't lock or unlock during washing.
