Apart from all the debate about home chargers/tariffs, the other key tip is make sure the car is delivered to you with version R59 (or later); that is what makes the car best meet expectations

Not sure why there’s so much hype here on Octopus. I’m on Eon and key difference is they give 7 hours (00.00 - 07.00) low rate at 9p. I usually need the 7 hours to charge to 80-90%; so if I had Octopus (which I can’t as they don’t support my home charger) I would pay 5 x 7 (if that’s their...

I’ve now had the LKA fix at my first service, and it is certainly a lot less sensitive and far less frequent in giving the jerk to the wheel. Does anyone know if the fix also improves the emergency braking sensitivity. Logically it should as I assume it’s the same camera?

Who was your dealer who put in R59?

Where did you have your service and what cost. I’ve collected my Trophy from first service today at Hendy Crawley and despite giving them a copious list of the faults (as yours) I find I’m still on R33 on collection. They said they have done some software updates but haven’t told me what they...

I’m due first service on Trophy LR this month. On R33 with its usual bugs (Bluetooth, no pre heat when charging etc). My dealer is Wilson’s Epsom. Does anyone have good experience of any dealer in Surrey area who actually applies latest updates?

A bit late to this thread; but useful alternatives to Cobham on this stretch of M25 are the Tesla chargers either at Spectrum Guildford or Denbies Dorking. Both easily accessible off M25, and from Andover coming off M3 at Jn 4 via Hogs Back to Guildford then back to M25 via A3 is sensible route...

But presumably you can wait until later in the year or Jan-Mar 2025 and then follow the same process?

Personally I much prefer using Apple Play and Google maps for navigation; plus WattsUp for working out suitable charging stops

Where is the heated steering wheel control on the updated infotainment screen. It used to be next to ‘heated seats’ but not now?

I’ve never used the car BT for phone due to the useless pairing issues. I use Apple CarPlay with Siri for voice commands. Always works perfectly, no issues with country codes, and includes voice read out of messages and WhatsApps. In addition I much prefer the Google Maps on CarPlay rather than...

I’m assuming that turning on the Air Conditioner is the same as Pre-heat on the old version and this always cleared the windows very quickly on old version.

Yes this works on iPhone - I opened Passwords in Settings and added aaMGiSmart.com as website (so it’s the first in list) the phone number (without leading zero) as user name and the password. Then on login for iSmart just touch the password bar on the keyboard and select the aaMGiSmart and it...

Which dealer did you get update from. I think it will be very useful to keep a list of dealers that give decent service as it seems they are few and far between

If plugged in but not charging presumably rather than go out in the cold you could just turn on charge for 10 mins (assuming not charged to 100%) as an extra 10 mins at non night rate wouldn’t be much cost?
