Any further update on this? We have had the same happen in recent floods (looks like something in the flood has smashed it, but could also have been ripped off - we had a very minor droopy bit that they refused to do anything about). If I just replaced it with one from the breakers, would it...

Nope, seems to always pop up. As @Vingnut says, it stays up until something else happens

Anyone else with R46 finding that the HVAC menu automatically opens when you go in to "ready". Not really an issue, just seems pretty random to me... Otherwise, all good. Bluetooth works fine now it seems, which was my biggest inconvenience.

I was told yesterday they get 36 minutes of labour covered under warranty to apply the updates

So after 4 hours of updates, apparently I have everything that is available currently. Updates applied to infotainment, battery, radar, telecoms...so on R46 (SWI68-29958-1300R46 to be exact), Telecoms SNAKP18E32 according to the car. Time well tell if things are better, but the drive home...

Currently sat awaiting upgrades to be completed, mostly reported the bluetooth issue but also reeled off a list of other annoyances (radio freezing, LKA and collision detection always going off, door lock issue). They said 3 hours because there were a few to apply - had car since June and was...

Yes, the issue is only when exiting the car having stopped. Literally get out the drivers door, try and open rear door for kids, and it won't unlock without toggling the locks - the key seems to be less effective than the one on the door panel above

Same, only ever had it set to all doors. It may be some kind of ghost setting where it thinks it is on though, nothing would amaze me with this software!

Yep, that is exactly the same but I cannot replicate it. Never use the handbrake, so don't think that is linked...

Finally got around to calling my local dealer with my list of gripes, and was met with a simple response of "can you come in on the 27th? Sorry it's a bit of a wait, there are a few updates we can do to resolve those". Given some of the responses on here, was pretty pleased to hear that! He...

Agree, it's great value - we felt we needed the LR and heated seats was deemed a must have (cold blooded wife) though so we ended up with a Trophy, and ended up getting a good deal with affinity and some other negotiation (and leveraging family contacts...). I'd say having owned it though, I do...

I switched from a GTD Golf, and they gave me £40 back with 1 month remaining on the policy - roughly made it £370. Then the renewal came through and it was £560...

Has anyone with R40 commented on any bluetooth problems? Have to say, this is becoming my biggest gripe now - just got the car back post repairs and got a phone call and let our a loud ARRRRGGHHHH

Update on this - just been told I 'might' get the car back this week. They did flag up re-calibrating the wing mirror camera, which having read the stories on the windscreen calibration doesn't fill me with confidence!

Can confirm, dealers don't seem to like doing things through Affinity - mine tried their best to avoid it, even sent me a quote without it included and ignored me when I chased it. They also then didn't have any type 2 cables in stock when I collected, and it took another 5 weeks of chasing to...
