R-Design Pro

So I've had my car 5 days now and covered just under 500 miles. I'm absolutely loving it, it's very comfortable and the T3 is plenty powerful for my needs, smooth engine, easy to overtake in.

Couple of issues though...
I'm missing the puddle lights in the door handles I was under the impression that they would be there, does anybody with a R-Design or R-Design Pro have them.

The air woofer is causing some really bad rattling in the dashboard so that's booked in to be looked at on the 3rd but I've since noticed a metallic vibration sound coming from the HK speaker grills on the doors... Does anybody else have this or have had it sorted?

Also, the subwoofer... does it even exist?! :lol: I can't hear a thing.

Music is a big thing for me, of course otherwise I wouldn't have paid extra for the HK

I’ve got a rattle from the rear driver side door speaker, not HK system. Air woofer provides plenty of base for my taste, but maybe that’s what’s rattling in your dash!

Hi.
My wife has an R Design Pro and that has the lights in the handles.

I see you ordered yours after I ordered mine too... Could you get a photo of them so I can prove to my dealer that they're supposed to be there.

I don’t have them either - There is no option on the settings to switch them on either.

I've found they are odd, they seem to come on when you unlock the car in the dark, but don't stay on for a while when you stop and get out of the car before you lock it?

I've asked a couple of dealerships about this because I don't have them on my car and nobody seems to know because they aren't actually on the spec list...

What I have noticed though is the people who have got the puddle lights have keyless entry. I don't have keyless and I don't have them, doesn't explain why on my order form I have puddle lights on it.

Oh also. The car went in for the speaker system... My air woofer was faulty without a doubt, he said it was jumping about.
My door speakers weren't touched so it's going back in for those, they agree something is wrong there. You expect a new car to be able to play piano without a metallic, shrill, shrieking sound.
I mentioned the rear subwoofer and he didn't even know that they came with one, tested it to make sure it was working and it is but he said it made next to no difference.

Since the new air woofer I now have additional rattles from the glove box area. They are worst with the volume two clicks down from halfway so it's not like I'm playing the music too loud.

Hi

Did you ever manage to sort the rattles after going back in? Just picked mine up last week and have this issue.

Don't want it taking apart if its going to make rattles worse :cry:
